Pain Relief Tens - Compex Sport Elite 2.0 Manual

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
B . SPECIALIZED EMS TRAINING PROGRAMS (CONTINUED)
Training Recovery
The Compex Training Recovery cool-down program produces muscle twitches at
a very low frequency. Those twitches act like a massage and induce an increase in
blood flow. They are responsible for a faster reducuction in the levels of lactic acid
in the blood (much better than mere rest) and accelerate the exchanges between
muscle fibers and blood. Consequently, the stimulated muscles recuperate better
from fatigue and the athlete has a feeling of relaxation and muscle lightness. This
type of cool-down program is recommended after hard training sessions and
competitions. It is particularly useful after sports requiring long duration efforts,
combining endurance and resistance (cycling, marathon, triathlon, mountain-
bike, etc.). The same is applicable to sports that require shorter efforts (basketball,
soccer, football).
Pre-Warmup
The Compex Pre-Warmup program helps muscles to get ready and should be used
before training sessions and before competitions.
Competition Recovery
The Compex Competition Recovery program is a sub-set of the Active Recovery
program that produces a very low constant frequency to induce a gentle muscle
contraction and vibration to increase in blood flow. This program should be used
after training sessions and competitions.
Muscle Relaxation
The Compex Muscle Relaxation program produces gentle muscle twitches, like
a massage, to facilitate recovery from muscle fatigue and to help recover muscle
strength after training sessions and competitions.
