3. ADJUSTING STIMULATION INTENSITIES

On a stimulated muscle, the number of fibres used depends on the stimulation intensity.
For programmes inducing powerful muscular contractions (tetanic contractions), you must use the
maximum stimulation intensities (up to 999) while remaining within your tolerance threshold, in order to
use the maximum number of fibres. The progress of a muscle will be greater the higher number of fibres
that are worked. During a session it is therefore important to try to increase the intensity every 3 to 5
contractions.
For other types of programmes like recovery, massage, capillarisation or even muscle pain which only
induce muscle twitches, you should gradually increase the stimulation intensities until clearly visible muscle
twitches are obtained.
For TENS programme you should gradually increase the intensities until you feel a tingling sensation under
the electrodes.
