A PlayMakar SPORT muscle stimulator with an Explosive Strength mode tuned for athletes. Delivers TENS and EMS programs through pad electrodes for muscle recovery, warm-up activation, and strength training. Wireless, app-friendly, and built to slip into a gym bag.

EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) triggers muscle contractions through electrical impulses; when electrode pads are placed on the skin, signals engage the motor nerves and prompt contractions similar to natural exercise. TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) sends low-voltage pulses through the skin that interrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, supporting endorphin release.

The PlayMakar SPORT combines both with 10 pre-set programs spanning warm-up, recovery, endurance, strengthening, explosive strength, and pain relief.

  • Channel — Dual isolated channels
  • Pulse amplitude — 0–80 mA peak at 500Ω load per channel
  • Frequency range — TENS 2–245 Hz (pk); EMS 1–70 Hz (pk) (±20%)
  • Wave form — Symmetrical bi-phasic square pulse
  • Max charge per pulse — 20.8 microcoulombs maximum
  • Timer — 5–60 minutes adjustable
  • Intensity levels — 25 adjustable
  • Battery life — 3–5 hours per charge
  • Display — Backlit
  • TENS/EMS Remote with belt clip
  • 2 snap lead wires
  • 4 Performance Electrode Pads (2" x 2")
  • 2 Performance Electrode Pads (2" x 4")
  • USB charging cable (23.5" length)
  • AC adapter
  • Tote bag
  • Designed to support muscle warm-up, strength building, and endurance
  • Helps with post-workout recovery and reducing muscle stiffness
  • TENS programs provide temporary relief for lower back, arm/leg, and chronic pain associated with arthritis
  • Explosive Strength Mode uses burst pulse frequency for fast-twitch muscle fibers
  • 25 adjustable intensity levels, dual channels (2 or 4 pads)

1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in material and workmanship.

Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have a pacemaker, heart conditions, epilepsy, are pregnant, or have any implanted electronic device. Do not apply electrode pads over open wounds, broken skin, the head/face, throat, or directly over the heart.

10 Pre-set Programs
EMS


  • JUMP START WARM UP

    Program 1 should gently prepare the body for exercise by gradually increasing the heart rate and circulation; this will loosen the joints and increase blood flow to the muscles. Stretching the muscles prepares them for physical activity and prevents injuries.


  • MUSCLE RECOVERY

    Programs 2 produces muscle twitches at a low frequency. Ideal for muscle recovery from fatigue to help decrease muscle stiffness. Great for recovery and relaxation following an intense workout.


  • ACTIVE RECOVERY

    Program 3 is similar to 2, except that the muscle twitch rate slows down during the session. It feels like a tapping massage, but softer than Program 2. Use it after intense exercise to promote recovery and relaxation.


  • MUSCLE ENDURANCE

    Program 4 uses a low frequency pulse which may favor slow twitch fibers, for potential development of aerobic capacity and capillary supply. It helps to improve fatigue resistance during long duration and moderate intensity exercise.


  • MUSCLE STRENGTHENING

    Program 5 uses a pulse frequency appropriate to help fast twitch muscle fibers. It may help improve anaerobic capacity and may help improve muscle strength. The exercise comprises of a sequence of work phases separated by longer relaxation phases.


  • EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH MODE

    Program 6 uses a burst pulse frequency appropriate for fast twitch muscle fibers. It may help improve anaerobic capacity and may help improve muscle strength.

TENS


  • RELIEF FOR LOWER BACK PAIN

    Program 1 and 2 is great for temporary relief of pain associated with sore and/or aching muscles in the lower back due to strain from exercise or normal household and/or work activities. Comfortable pulsing sensation. The underlying pain should decrease.


  • RELIEF FOR ARM & LEG PAIN

    Program 3 is great or temporary relief of pain associated with sore and/or aching muscles in the upper and lower extremities (arm and/or leg) due to strain from exercise or normal household and work activities. Variable comfortable mild tingling sensation (sensation will appear to come in waves).


  • CHRONIC PAIN RELIEF & ARTHRITIS

    Program 4 is for symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable pain and relief of pain associated with arthritis. You should feel a variable comfortable tingling and pulsing sensation that comes in waves.

Gain the Competitive Advantage

When athletes lack sufficient time or energy for recovery, EMS proves to be a highly effective solution. Active recovery techniques that promote blood circulation can significantly enhance and speed up the recovery process. The PlayMakar P2 and P3 programs generate low-frequency muscle twitches, making them perfect for alleviating fatigue and reducing muscle stiffness. They are excellent for relaxation and recovery after a strenuous workout.

What is TENS?

TENS, or Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, is a safe and non-invasive method of pain relief that has been utilized by medical professionals for more than three decades. This technique operates by sending low voltage pulses to the skin, effectively interrupting pain signals before they reach the brain. Consequently, it stimulates the production of endorphins, which are the body's natural feel-good chemicals.

What is EMS?

EMS, or Electrical Muscle Stimulation, involves triggering muscle contractions through electrical impulses. This technique not only enhances muscle strength and endurance but also accelerates recovery. When electrode pads are placed on the skin, the electrical signals engage your motor nerves, prompting your muscles to contract in a manner similar to natural exercise.

Made for You.

The PlayMakar SPORT isn't limited to elite athletes. This muscle stimulator caters to professionals, college athletes, and casual fitness enthusiasts alike. Anyone aiming to enhance their training performance will appreciate the benefits of the innovative PlayMakar SPORT. Featuring 25 intensity settings, dual channels for 2 or 4 pads, and user-friendly presets, the PlayMakar SPORT is truly a revolutionary tool.

Great Relief

I like to use this on my shoulders after I have been working out. It helps to relax that muscles there so that I don't get quite as many headaches. It's easy to set up and use. Very happy.

EMS in addition to TENS with USB charging

I've used a number of different TENS units, the first one with EMS, the others without. Mostly I've used TENS for chronic pain issues, and I find it extremely useful. I find the controls for this unit easier to comprehend for their lack of cutesy, and unintelligible drawings indicating some imagined or real similarity to types of massage not widely practiced in the US in my experience. I haven't used EMS much, but with an abdominal split due to pregnancy, I have found it helpful, and that is one reason I wanted this unit. Another is its being rechargeable by USB. I have never had a problem with pad stickiness myself, partially because I'm careful to make sure that I dampen them before storing them after each time they're removed. That said, you will eventually have to buy new pads, and your experience will help inform which ones you want to buy. My experience is that I prefer to buy pads which are particularly sticky, but yours may vary. If my review was helpful, please click the button below.

Easy to use!

Perfect for recovery after workouts. Came with easy to follow instructions. Wife enjoys it just as much as I do!

Questions

What's the difference between TENS and EMS?

TENS interrupts pain signals to support pain relief. EMS triggers muscle contractions to support strength, endurance, and recovery. The PlayMakar SPORT includes programs for both.

How long does the battery last?

3–5 hours of usage per charge, recharged by USB.

How many pads can I use at once?

Dual channels support either 2 or 4 pads simultaneously.

How do I keep the pads sticky?

Lightly dampen them before storing after each use to extend their stickiness. Replacement pads are available when needed.
