Strong in competition: Andreas Böhm wins German Championship of the Scooter Association
Physiotherapist, masseur, aspiring doctor, train dog athlete, trail runner - and father of twins to boot: Andreas Böhm's days are full, to say the least. But that's not enough for him. He also wants to compete in the EUROCUP organised by the German Scooter Association. How does he manage such a daily workload? Well, of course Andreas' days don't have any more hours than other people's. Luckily, we at Antelope can help him a little to save time during training. So he starts the competition well prepared. And it works out much better than expected...
Into the competition with EMS fitness
Despite all the preparation, the competition in the scooter EUROCUP is still on the brink of cancellation for Andreas. "I had been struggling with quite a cold the week before and was about to cancel my participation. I slept well the night before, had a hot bath, and all the things you do to treat a cold. And then I felt pretty good the next day." The efficient training finally paid off in the competition: "I felt good the whole time. I was resilient, the start was energised. I also realised that I could train my explosive power really well with the suit. I recovered more quickly after an overtaking attack, and I still had power reserves in the final sprint." So did training with Antelope help? Andreas laughs. "The good position speaks for itself. I didn't expect it at all, after initially wanting to cancel. I was surprised that I became German champion."
Recover faster after sport with the EMS suit
As a physiotherapist, Andreas knows how to take care of a stressed body. His tips: make sure you eat well and get enough sleep. He also recommends lymphatic drainage and cold showers. "I leave the suit on straight after training and do the massage. This removes the metabolic waste products produced during the workout more quickly. And I noticed that too: I felt less sore and recovered more quickly."
