resistance, the capillarization program is very useful for recovery after intense
aerobic work, before anaerobic work and when training is not possible (due to
bad weather or an injury).
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 23 (21 excluded) of the Positions
manual.
Intensity: medium.
NEMS13 • Muscle recovery (no-medical program)
Can be used for all sports, after competitions or the most demanding training
sessions, in particular after long and intense exertion – to be used immediately
after exertion. This program helps drainage and winding down, improving
muscle oxygenation and helping to discharge synthetic substances produced
during exertion.
Session duration: 25 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 20 of the Positions manual, according
to the area to be treated.
Intensity: medium-low, increasing during the last 5/10 minutes.
NEMS14 • Agonist/Antagonist (non-medical program)
The electronic stimulator produces contractions alternated between 2
channels: during the first 4 minutes of warm-up the 2 channels work
simultaneously, during the central work phase (15 minutes) muscle
contractions are alternated between Channel 1 (agonist muscles) and Channel
2 (antagonist muscles). The program is designed to restore muscle tone to the
quadriceps and its antagonist the leg biceps, or the biceps brachii and the
triceps. The work aims at developing strength. With this program, muscle
relaxation is obtained by simultaneous stimulation from both channels during
the last 5 minutes. In the event of fatigue, suspend the training for a few days
and use the NEMS19 program (Muscle relaxant).
Session duration: 24 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 02 to 05 and 11-12 of the Positions manual.
Intensity: during contraction has to be adjusted so that the contraction
intensity is the same as a voluntary one, in order to reduce the sense of
discomfort and reach higher intensities. Intensity must be increased gradually
treatment by treatment, without overstraining the muscles.
