Abstract

The muscle training apparatus includes: conductors to be mounted on a body of a user; an operation section for receiving an instruction from the user; a memory section for storing a current-and-frequency-correlation data which indicates a relationship between a magnitude of an electrical stimulation signal and a supply frequency of the electrical stimulation signal; a control section for determining the supply frequency based on the magnitude of the electrical stimulation signal input from the operation section, and the current-and-frequency-correlation data; and an electrical stimulation output section for generating the electrical stimulation signal based on the magnitude of the electrical stimulation signal and the supply frequency of the electrical stimulation signal which are instructed by the control section, and generating an interference wave by providing the electrical stimulation signal to the body of the user via the conductors.
