Fitness Programs

Stimulation intensity during the contraction: the muscle must contract well without
causing pain. It is recommended to voluntarily contract the muscle during contractions
induced by the electronic stimulator to reduce the sense of discomfort and improve the
proprioceptive response: In this way, after electrostimulation, the muscle will be capable
of contracting all of the muscle fibres stimulated by electrostimulation 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
FITNESS 1 • Warming up (all muscle groups).
Program suitable for use before training sessions or competitions, very useful for sports
involving maximum effort right from the start. Program duration: 16 minutes. Position of
electrodes from photo 1 to photo 20. Recommended stimulation intensity: medium; the muscle
must work without strain.
FITNESS 2/3 • Resistance - upper limbs and trunk (2), lower limbs (3).
The Resistance program is used in sports to increase muscle resistance, acting mainly on
slow-twitch fibres.
Program indicated for endurance sports: marathon runners, cross-country skiers, ironman, etc.
Program duration: 34 minutes. Stimulation intensity during the contraction: if not particularly fit,
start with a low intensity then increase gradually. For practised athletes the intensity used
should be enough to produce visible muscle contractions. In the event of muscle ache after
stimulation, use the Fitness 19 program (muscle relaxant).
FITNESS 4/5 • Resistant strength - upper limbs and trunk (4), lower
limbs (5).
This program is designed to help increase resistance to physical stress, or rather withstand
intense exertion for a longer amount of time in muscle regions subjected to stimulation.
Indicated for sporting disciplines involving long, intense periods of exertion. Program duration:
29 minutes.
Stimulation intensity during the contraction: start with a low level of intensity, increasing it
gradually. For practised athletes the intensity used should be enough to produce visible muscle
contractions.
In the event of muscle ache after stimulation, use the Fitness 19 program (muscle relaxant).
FITNESS 6/7 • Basic strength - upper limbs and trunk (6), lower limbs
(7).
The Basic strength program is used in sport to develop basic strength, which for definition is
the maximum tension that a muscle can exert against constant resistance. The contractions
alternate with periods of active recovery during the work phase, allowing the muscle to be
trained without subjecting it to stress and improving oxygenation of the same muscle. Program
duration: 24 minutes.
