OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES

ADJUSTING STIMULATION ENERGIES

In a stimulated muscle, the number of recruited fibers depends on the stimulation
energy. With a lower current intensity, there are fewer working fibers. With a higher
current intensity the number of working fibers is increased.
For programs involving powerful muscular contractions, you must therefore use
maximum stimulation energies (up to 999), always at the limit that you can endure, in
order to recruit the maximum number of fibers.

PROGRESSION IN THE LEVELS

In general, it is not advisable to go through the different levels quickly with the
intention of reaching level 5 as fast as possible. In fact, the different levels correspond
to progress with electrostimulation.
The goal is to progress through the electrical intensities and then through the levels.
The more numerous the muscle fibers you stimulate, the more numerous will be the
fibers that are going to progress. But the speed of progress of these fibers and their
aptitude for operating at a higher rating depend on the program and level used, the
number of sessions per week, the length of these sessions and on intrinsic factors
specific to each individual.
The simplest and most usual procedure is to start with level 1 and raise the level
when changing to a new stimulation cycle.
At the end of a cycle, you may either start a new cycle at the next level up or do
some maintenance at the rate of 1 session.
