IMPORTANT! Stimulation intensity during the contraction: the muscle
must contract well without causing pain. It is recommended to voluntarily
contract the muscle during the contractions induced by the electronic
stimulator to reduce the sense of discomfort and improve the proprioceptive
response: in this way, after electrostimulation, the stimulated muscle will be
capable of contracting all of the muscle fibers and the parameters of strength
and resistance will improve.
Contraction should increase as you pass through the following programs:
•
Resistance
•
Resistant strength
•
Basic strength
•
Fast strength
•
Explosive strength
NEMS1 • Warming up (non-medical program)
Program suitable for use before training sessions or competitions, very useful
for sports involving maximum effort right from the start. Suitable for all
muscle groups.
Session duration: 16 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 23 (21 excluded) of the Positions
manual.
Intensity: medium; the muscle must work without strain.
NEMS2 • Resistance upper limbs and trunks (non-medical program)
NEMS3 • Resistance lower limbs (non-medical program)
The Resistance program is used in sports to increase muscle resistance, acting
mainly on slow-twitch fibres; in fact, this program is indicated for endurance
sports: marathon runners, cross-country skiers, ironman, etc. In the event of
muscle ache after stimulation, use the NEMS19 program (Muscle relaxant).
Session duration: 34 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 23 (21 excluded) of the Positions
manual.
Intensity: if not particularly fit, start with a low intensity then increase
gradually. For trained athletes the intensity used should be enough to
produce visible muscle contractions.
