Use of the Regeneration programme to eliminate muscle fatigue more quickly (cross-country running,
football, basketball, tennis, etc.) and restore good muscular sensations more quickly
The Regeneration programme, known also as the "day-after programme" must be used on key muscles for the discipline
being practised. In this example, key muscles for the cross-country runner (quadriceps) will be stimulated. For other
disciplines, the choice of muscles to be stimulated may be different. Note that this type of programme is particularly
beneficial for all sports where competitions are repeated at frequent intervals, during tournaments and cups in various
sports. The stimulation session using the Regeneration programme must be carried out the day after a competition to
replace or supplement so-called "restoration" training, which can therefore be less intensive. Contrary to the Active recovery
programme, which provokes no tetanic contractions and which must be used during the three hours after the competition
or intensive training, the Regeneration programme is a form of light training which, in addition to an analgesic effect and an
increased blood flow, aims to impose a small degree of anaerobic training and likewise to provoke slight tetanic contractions
that are not tiring, making it possible to reactivate the proprioceptive pathways. Energy pathways are also gently stimulated,
allowing their metabolic equilibrium to re-establish itself.
The session is composed of 6 stimulation sequences that follow on automatically:
1st sequence: analgesic effect
2nd sequence: marked increase in blood flow
3rd sequence: tetanic contractions to restore muscular sensation
4th sequence: activation of the oxydative metabolism
5th sequence: marked increase in blood flow
6th sequence: relaxing effect
Cycle duration: To be used throughout the season, according to the frequency of
competitions
