Do you compete in triathlon – swimming, cycling, running? Each discipline stresses different muscle groups at different intensities. A "universal" EMS program won’t give targeted preparation – you need a protocol package tailored for triathlon. Triathlon Pro offers exactly that: 60 sport-specific programs designed specifically for triathletes, covering all three disciplines (swimming shoulder-girdle, cycling quadriceps-calf, running hamstrings-calf). One of the richest program libraries in the 4-channel Globus Sport family – plus the unique iontophoresis function that can make a real difference in a competitor's injury management. Why choose the Triathlon Pro? 60 triathlon-specific programs Separate protocols for the swimming, cycling and running branches: warm-up, strength development, endurance strength, explosive power, active recovery. Tailored to the key muscle groups of each discipline – e.g. swimmer shoulder-girdle, cyclist quadriceps, runner hamstrings. 5 current types + Iontophoresis TENS, EMS/NMES, MENS/MCR microcurrent, FES functional stimulation + iontophoresis. Iontophoresis delivers medication (water-soluble, charged) through the skin directly into the injured joint (e.g. ankle, knee) – an important adjunct for a competitive athlete. 84 ActionNow + 53 general sport ActionNow programs can be launched alongside training exercises – combine EMS with weightlifting, activate the calf during plyometrics, etc. Plus 53 general sport programs (capillarization, hypertrophy, maximal strength, recovery). 23 microcurrent + 54 3S sequential The microcurrent block is the most extensive in the portfolio: joint inflammation, injury regeneration, edema management, collagen stimulation. The 54 3S sequential programs support neurorehabilitation and edema treatment and can enhance post-exercise recovery. Is this my problem – is the Triathlon Pro right for me? If you train for triathlon (Sprint, Olympic, middle distance, Ironman) The 60 triathlon-specific programs cover all three disciplines – swimming (shoulder-girdle, back, pectorals, core), cycling (quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, gluteus), running (leg muscles, core, calves). Separate protocols for warm-up, endurance strength, explosive power and active recovery. Training-planning level alignment with the three main competition-preparation phases: base, intensive, peak. If you prepare at a competitive level: duathlon, aquathlon, multisport The triathlon-specific protocols also provide a relevant foundation for multisport preparation. If you do duathlon (cycling + running), aquathlon (swimming + running), or other complex sport mixes, you can select the appropriate branch from the Triathlon Pro program library. The ActionNow block’s 84 programs can be combined with at-home or team workouts. If you are recovering from a sports injury (ankle, knee, shoulder, tendon) The iontophoresis feature gives an advantage in sports-injury management. For joint inflammation, chronic tendinopathy or fresh strains, the iontophoresis program delivers a water-soluble, electrically charged active ingredient (in consultation with your physician) directly under the injured area, bypassing the digestive system. The 23 microcurrent programs help reduce inflammatory processes and edema. Important: the iontophoresis kit (drug pad, alcohol sponge) is NOT included and must be purchased separately. If you are recovering after knee surgery or other sports-related surgery Three dedicated rehabilitation programs support recovery after knee surgeries, and the 54 3S sequential programs are particularly suitable for neurorehabilitation and restoring muscle mass. The FES functional stimulation mode supports relearning muscle activation. Use these only with agreement from your treating physician or physiotherapist – do not start post-surgery rehabilitation on your own. If recurring sports-related pain troubles you (knee, back, shoulder) Twelve dedicated TENS programs: pain-relief TENS, endorphin TENS, modulated TENS, bursitis-tendinitis (common shoulder/elbow/knee complaints in runners and swimmers), muscle pain, chronic lumbago, chronic pain, menstrual pain, neck pain (common in swimmers), osteoarthritis, knee pain, shoulder pain. A drug-free alternative that can be used daily if not contraindicated by your physician. If you are a female athlete struggling with incontinence symptoms Three incontinence programs (stress, urge, mixed) are available. This is a common and often embarrassing issue for female athletes (especially runners and high-impact sports). For more targeted treatment a pelvic probe (PeriProbe or PeriSphera) is recommended – this is NOT included and must be ordered separately. If your sports team uses it, or you work coach-client in pairs The 2+2 mode allows treatment on channels 1-2 for one patient and 3-4 for another – even with two different current types. The Multiuser feature manages up to 10 user profiles. Combined with My Program (15) and STIM LOCK, each athlete can run their coach-approved protocol. If body shaping or beauty care is your goal 58 fitness/body-shaping + 60 beauty care + 13 G-Pulse microcurrent cosmetic programs are available. IMPORTANT difference compared to the Activa 700: the G-Trode treatment head is NOT included in the Triathlon Pro package – it must be purchased separately if you want to use the G-Pulse beauty programs. How to use step by step? 1 Log into your profile (Multiuser) If multiple people use the device (team, family), choose your personal profile. From here you can access Favorites (15 programs), Last10 and My Program (15) – each user can build an individual treatment plan. 2 Select the program Access swimming, cycling or running programs from the "Special Sport" menu. Within each branch: warm-up, endurance, strength development, recovery. Use Last10 to quickly restart the last 10 favorites. 3 Place electrodes on 4 channels The package includes four 50×50 mm (for smaller areas, e.g. neck, forearm) and four 50×90 mm (larger areas: thigh, back, abdomen) self-adhesive electrodes. The four colored cables are color-coded per channel – they cannot be confused. Use the two dedicated cables for microcurrent or iontophoresis treatments. 4 Start with circuit-control The device automatically detects whether the electrodes make good skin contact. If one falls off or is poorly attached, the feedback function stops the current. Treatments cannot be started while the device is connected to the mains charger (for safety) – use the battery. 5 Set intensity (0–120 mA, AUTO STIM available) You can set intensity per channel from 0 to 120 mA. If you have used the program before, AUTO STIM automatically restores the last intensity. For a new program increase gradually – higher current allows stronger sport-EMS muscle contractions. 6 Combine Run Time + 2+2 mode With Run Time you can modify treatment time, frequency and pulse width during a running program. In 2+2 mode you can run two different programs simultaneously (channels 1-2 and 3-4) – for treating two athletes concurrently or two muscle groups in parallel. What can you use it for – 300+ programs The Triathlon Pro program library is one of the richest in the Globus Sport line. In addition to 60 triathlon-specific programs it includes 23 microcurrent, 84 ActionNow, 54 3S sequential and 53 general sport programs – one of the most extensive portfolios. Special Sport – 60 triathlon-specific programs (HIGHLIGHTED!) Protocols tailored to three disciplines: Swimming: activation of shoulder girdle, latissimus, pectorals, trapezius and trunk; warm-up, endurance, explosiveness, recovery. Cycling: quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteus, calf, lumbar strengthening. Running: quadriceps–hamstring balance, calf, gluteus, core stability. Each branch contains programs tailored to multiple cycles: base (volume + endurance), intensive (strength + explosiveness), peak preparation, and post-race recovery. Medical – 12 TENS + 23 microcurrent + 3 rehab + 3 incontinence + 1 iontophoresis TENS (12): pain-relief TENS, endorphin TENS, modulated TENS, bursitis–tendinitis, muscle pain, chronic pain, chronic lumbago, menstrual pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, knee pain, shoulder pain. Microcurrent (23): joint inflammation, tenosynovitis, lumbago, sciatica, sports-injury regeneration, edema management, collagen-stimulation support. The largest microcurrent program library in the Globus portfolio. Rehabilitation (3): post-knee-surgery rehab protocols. Incontinence (3): stress, urge, mixed (internal probe sold separately). Iontophoresis (1): active-ingredient delivery for joint injuries (iontophoresis kit sold separately). General Sport – 53 programs + 84 ActionNow instant General sport (53): aerobic endurance, endurance strength, maximal strength, explosive power, reaction speed, hypertrophy, capillarization, active recovery, warm-up, pre- and post-competition protocols, stiffness relief. ActionNow (84): the richest ActionNow block in the portfolio. Programs instantly launched alongside exercises – squat + EMS for quadriceps, bench press + EMS for pectorals, plyometric jump + EMS for calves, etc. Supports coaching and competition-preparation protocols. 3S sequential stimulation – 54 programs The current pulse is time-shifted across the 4 channels so the muscle contraction travels in a wave across the muscle group – more natural and gentle. Three main applications: neurorehabilitation (relearning muscle activation after stroke or paralysis), edema management (post-training or post-race limb swelling in athletes), recovery enhancement (faster recovery after intense training or competition). This is the largest 3S block in the portfolio (other 4-channel devices have 18 or 36 programs). Fitness + Beauty care + G-Pulse – 58 + 60 + 13 programs Fitness and body-shaping (58): body sculpting, bio-pulse shaping, toning, form, jogging support, mass increase, weight-loss support. General beauty care (60): anti-cellulite, lipostress, breast toning, post-pregnancy body recovery, revitalizing massage. G-Pulse microcurrent beauty (13): designed for the G-Trode treatment head. IMPORTANT: the G-Trode head is NOT included in the Triathlon Pro package – it must be ordered separately if you wish to use these 13 programs. Special features – AUTO STIM, STIM LOCK, 2+2, My Program AUTO STIM: for Last 10 TENS/EMS programs – automatic intensity restoration. STIM LOCK: lock programs – for therapist/coach-patient lending. 2+2 mode: channels 1-2 and 3-4 run separate programs – two patients or two muscle groups simultaneously. My Program (15): fully customizable frequency, pulse width, interval. Run Time: treatment time, frequency and pulse duration adjustable during a program.

No. A pacemaker, implanted defibrillator (ICD) or any electronic implant is an absolute contraindication – for all current types (TENS, EMS, MENS, FES, iontophoresis). Even extremely low microcurrent can interfere with implant function. If you have such a device, do not use the unit under any circumstances. Iontophoresis – can I use it on my own? Iontophoresis requires more caution than TENS or EMS because you are delivering a medicinal active ingredient under the skin. Always use it based on physician or physiotherapist recommendation – they will prescribe the appropriate active ingredient (e.g. a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pad) and settings. The iontophoresis kit is NOT included and must be obtained separately. Do NOT start iontophoresis at home without coach or physiotherapist supervision. What is the difference between the Triathlon Pro and the other Sport Pro devices? The hardware is identical – same 4-channel 160×99×35.4 mm device, same 120 mA intensity, 0.3–150 Hz frequency, 50–450 µs pulse width. The difference is only in the sport-specific program library: Triathlon Pro: 60 programs for swimming + cycling + running combined. Runner Pro: dedicated programs for runners (sprint, middle distance, marathon). Cycling Pro: dedicated programs for cyclists (road, MTB, track). Soccer Pro: dedicated programs for footballers (explosive power, direction change). The Champion (Multisport): general multisport use. If you only do one discipline (e.g. only run), Runner Pro may be more tailored. If you do triathlon or multisport training → Triathlon Pro. What is the difference between Triathlon Pro and Activa 700? Both are professional mid-level 4-channel multifunction devices, but with different profiles: Triathlon Pro: sport-focused. 60 triathlon-specific + 84 ActionNow + 23 microcurrent + 54 3S sequential programs. Includes iontophoresis. G-Trode treatment head NOT included (sold separately). Activa 700: cosmetician + physio focus. G-Trode head + contact gel included in the package. 13 G-Pulse facial programs ready to use. Does NOT include iontophoresis. Fewer microcurrent (12) and fewer 3S (36) programs. Triathlete, runner, cyclist, multisport athlete → Triathlon Pro. Beautician, aesthetics-first, home beauty care user → Activa 700. Why is EMS important in triathlon preparation? Triathlon comprises three disciplines with completely different muscle dominances – swimming (upper body, shoulder girdle), cycling (quadriceps, hamstrings), running (calves, gluteus, hamstrings). Overlap is limited, so multiple muscle groups must be trained effectively. EMS programs can supplement training: they can activate specific fiber types (fast or slow-twitch), target specific muscles (e.g. quadriceps hypertrophy), or aid recovery after training or competition. The 60 triathlon-specific programs are designed to support this multi-discipline preparation with a single device. How long until I see results with sport-EMS? Depends on the program and goal: Active recovery: reduction in muscle soreness and fatigue can be felt within 24–48 hours after training/competition. Maximal strength, hypertrophy, explosive power: measurable differences in training performance in 4–6 weeks with 2–3 sessions per week. Competition preparation: EMS training is best structured in 6–12 week cycles alongside the classic training plan. EMS does not replace traditional training – it complements it. It works best when integrated into a coach’s program. Can I use it at competitions? EMS is not a doping substance, so its use before competition (as part of warm-up) and after competition (recovery) is permitted. It is not designed for or effective during competition (while running, cycling or swimming).

In the following situations electrotherapy may be dangerous or cause adverse effects. If any apply to you, do not start using the device without consulting your physician. The restrictions also apply to iontophoresis and microcurrent functions. Wearing a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator (ICD) or any electronic implant – electrical impulses, including microcurrent and iontophoresis, can interfere with their function Pregnancy (especially treatments to the lower abdomen, abdomen and pelvic area are prohibited) Epilepsy or other seizure disorders of the nervous system Active malignant tumor near the treatment area Acute inflammation or infection on the skin in the treatment area Deep vein thrombosis or a known tendency for blood clots in the treated limb Skin injury, fresh scar or open wound in the treatment area (avoid until healed, also in sports injuries) Severe cardiovascular disease (post-myocardial infarction phase, severe heart failure, uncontrolled high blood pressure) Placement of electrodes on the front of the neck (carotid sinus region), on the skull or over the heart area (unless explicitly approved by your treating physician) Reduced or absent skin sensitivity in the treatment area (e.g. neuropathy due to diabetes, sensory loss) Fresh metal implant (screw, plate) loosening or inflammation in the immediate vicinity – consult your physician or sports doctor Iontophoresis use: allergy to the intended active ingredient, known adverse reaction, or lack of a medical prescription Children for unsupervised use (under 12 only under adult supervision and physiotherapist guidance) Unsure? Always consult your physician, sports doctor or physiotherapist before use – especially with chronic disease, medication use or any implanted medical device. Detailed information is available in Dr. Zátrok Zsolt’s article on contraindications of electrotherapy at electrotherapy contraindications. Important information The Triathlon Pro is a CE-certified, Class IIa medical device (per MDD 93/42/EEC) and can be used independently at home and in athlete-practice environments. However, its use does not replace medical diagnosis, sports medical consultation, an individualized physiotherapist protocol, coaching program or prescribed medication. The device is an adjunct tool to be used alongside existing training plans and therapies. In case of a sports injury or new symptoms always consult a sports doctor or orthopedic specialist – electrotherapy does not replace evaluation and should not be used to "mask" symptoms that may indicate a more serious injury. For chronic pain the cause must be clarified before regular TENS treatment. The iontophoresis function requires special caution – always use with a medical or sports-medical prescription and an exact protocol for the active ingredient. Do NOT start iontophoresis on your own without physiotherapist supervision. The information on this page is for general guidance and does not replace individual medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always consult your treating physician regarding your specific complaints.
