CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR GREAT
PURCHASE!
To start using your Mpower muscle activation monitor
1. Download the Mpower app from Google Play.
2. After installation open the app from the application grid.
3. The app will guide you through a process of creating a
Mpower account and connecting (pairing) your Mpower
pod(s) with your mobile device. Power-on the pods and
connect them one at a time until all the pods are connected.
4. Charge your pod(s) fully before the first use.

MUSCLE ACTIVATION MONITOR
Getting Started Guide / English
After setup you are ready to start measuring and exercising.
TRAINING WITH YOUR MPOWER
For measurements during the training the pod(s) always require
the mobile device with the app to be present and connected to the
pods as the pods constantly transfer measurement data to the app.
START TRAINING
Power on the pod(s). Open your app.
Putting on your pod(s)
Mpower pods need to be in skin contact on top of the muscle
to be measured. The skin does not need to be prepared in any
way, but it is important the skin contact is maintained during the
measurement at all times.
IMPORTANT: Do not move the pods when the measurement is
on as this may cause undesired signal spikes and distort the
measurement. Always turn o the measurement first before
adjusting or moving pods.
You can attach the pod(s) to your muscle(s) either by using the
adjustable straps or double-side adhesive tape.

1. Take one pod and one adhesive sheet.
Remove the white cover paper.
2. Focus adhesive sheet onto the
bottom of the pod around the metal
ring. Make sure the adhesive does
not overlap with metal ring.
Press finger on the circular part of
the adhesive to secure the tape on
the pod.
3. Remove the transparent liner from
the adhesive from the corner.
The circular adhesive stays attached
on the pod.
Pod is now ready to be attached on
the skin.
4. Make sure the skin is dry before the
attachment. Attach the pod on top of
the muscle to be measured. Press the
pod tightly for few seconds on top of
the skin.
After training detach the pod by pulling
from the corner of the pod.
Using double-sided adhesive tape.

You may now choose the first measurement setup by selecting the
muscles to be measured from the main screen: Pods & Muscles.
Important: the measurement always requires first the muscle
selection which needs to be confirmed by the pod selection from
the bottom bar.
You can start measuring and training either with Instant
Measurement or by Workout Plans.
DURING TRAINING
See your muscle activation and fatigue in real-time.
Choose what’s shown on the UI
• If you are measuring with more than two pods you can see more
information by tapping the activation power monitor on the screen.
• You can see activation power curve by swiping the screen
sideways.
• You can modify the load and the number of repetitions
information between sets, after set or in the training summary.
• In the Routine Results you can see the activation power curve
showing each repetition by clicking the cumulative Activation
Volume bar.
AFTER TRAINING
Get instant summary of your muscle activation and fatigue. You
can also compare dierent muscles and exercises with each
other.
KEY FEATURES
When you start your first measurements for a new muscle you
will get a lot of ”new max”-indications, as Mpower records the
maximum activation values for each measured muscle. Mpower
uses these maximum values to calibrate the activation power
monitor and shows each repetition as a percentage of your muscle
specific maximum.
Activation Power
• Total Activation Power-indicator shows you activation power of
each repetition produced by your muscle during the training.
• Fast Activation Power-indicator shows you activation power of
each repetition produced by your muscle fast-twitch fibers during
the training.
• Activation Power Curve shows the absolute (not relative)
activation levels over time.
Activation Volume
• For each set Mpower calculates your muscle specific cumulative
activation power as Activation Volume. This makes it easy for you
to see activation produced by each muscle in each exercise and
to be able to compare the training eciency between sets of the
same exercise and between exercises. By clicking on the Activation
Volume bar you can see the activation curve of individual
repetitions.
Fatigue Index
• See how your muscle fatigue develops. You can use Fatigue
Index -indicator for speed strength training to monitor when your
muscle fast-twitch fibers start getting tired. You can also use it
for eective endurance strength training to stress the muscle
appropriately and strive to desired muscle fatigue level.
