Principles of Electro-Capacitive Body Stimulation (ECBS)
The cSport Apparel works based on the principles of Electro-Capacitive Body Stimulation (ECBS, ID Patent) that employs electro-static pulses with the frequency between 1/8 Hz to 2,5 kHz and maximum voltage of 50 Vpp (+/-25V ) to stimulate body muscles and organs. The electro-static pulses transmitted to the body through capacitive electrodes embedded inside an apparel to generate low level electric fields that induce electric polarization on the body surface and organ interfaces within the body.
The mechanism works effectively as most of the human body are constituted from dielectric materials. The electric polarization induces muscle strain, increasing cell metabolism and, consequently, boosting calorie consumption even when the body not in physical activities. The electric polarization pulls electric charges to the body and organ surfaces, attracting blood cells to reach farthest area in the body near the surfaces, allowing blood circulation up to cellular level without increasing the blood pressure, giving effect to removal of waste material and oxidants accumulated in remote arteries and increasing nutrients transport to enhance tissue regeneration in the usually unreached area with sedentary blood circulation. The mechanism can be referred to as a passive sport, namely cSport.
Differences between Electro-Capacitive Body Stimulation (ECBS) and Electro-Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
Widely used EMS (Electro-Muscle Stimulation) is based on muscle stimulation using electric-current that flowing into the body muscle through conductive electrodes in direct contact to the skin. The electric current must be in short with the body muscle in order to generate the muscle stimulation using relatively high voltages (70 Volts or higher).
In contrast with the EMS, ECBS uses non-contact capacitive electrodes embedded in the apparel to wear as regular clothes. The capacitive electrodes generates electro-static field that penetrates through fabric and air layers and through the skin into inside the body. The electric field stimulates body muscles and organs separated with interfaces or air layers within the body, while the electric current as used in EMS only flow through conductive muscles, unable to reach surfaces or organs separated with air layers.
| EMS | ECBS | |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | Impedance Electrodes, must in direct contact to the skin; relatively high voltages (>70Volts); contains electric current into the body. | Capacitance Electrodes, Non-contact over regular clothes; relatively low voltages (<50Volts); contains no electric current into the body. |
| Advantages | Relatively faster muscle building | Working through body metabolism and blood circulation up to cellular level, best impact on general health and organ functions; Suitable for long usage while doing daily activities or even in rest. |
| Disadvantages | Uncomfortable skin contact, high electric current can cause burning, unsuitable for long usage. | Relatively slow impact on weight lost and building muscle; Requires long period of usage. |

How Is Electro-Capacitive Body Stimulation (ECBS) compared to diet?
To lose weight quickly, diet may still the fastest way. The advantages of ECBS is that the technique works through a sporting mechanism, i.e. burning calorie and converting fat into muscle, increasing blood circulation to reach cellular level at farthest area that only high intensity sport can give, keeping the body healthy and biological age of the body cells young. The ECBS provides all benefits from real sports without increasing a physical burden to the body.
How Fast It Works
The rate of decrease in body fat, down to 1% lower as illustrated in the Body Fat Percentage Level picture, takes 1-2 weeks in the first 3 months, 1-2 months for the following months of wear. The effect varies on different individuals when it is worn 8-12 hours a day, 5x a week.
ECBS Usage and Calorie Consumption
The total calorie consumption that converted into fat burning when wearing the device is equal to the calorie burn by using the device minus calorie consumed from food and drinks. To accelerate the fat burning process, reduce and regulate your calorie intake from foods and drinks, and increase the usage hour of the device.
