Adjusting Stimulation Energies; Progression In The Levels - Compex Sport Elite 2.0 Manual

USAGE GUIDELINES
The usage guidelines presented in this section should be considered as general
rules. For all programs, it is recommended that you read carefully the usage
information and advice presented in the Operation section. You should use the
compexusa.com web site to establish an appropriate training plan. The compexusa.
com web site helps you with your first steps with the device.
CHOOSING THE APPROPRIATE MUSCLE WORK PROGRAM
The choice of a program determines the kind of work that is imposed on the
stimulated muscles. Based on your knowledge about sport training, you can
choose the program that is appropriate to your needs. Please go on the
compexusa.com web site as it offers an advanced interactive way to establish an
appropriate work program. With just a few answers to basic questions, the "Training
Planner" will determine which is the most appropriate program for you.
PLANNING STIMULATION SESSIONS
The Training Planner (compexusa.com) will determine the number of training
sessions per week you should do and the number of weeks you should use a muscle
training program.

ADJUSTING STIMULATION ENERGIES

In a stimulated muscle, the number of recruited fibers depends on the stimulation
energy. With a lower current intensity, there are fewer working fibers. With a higher
current intensity the number of working fibers is increased.
For programs involving powerful muscular contractions, you must therefore use
maximum stimulation energies (up to 999), always at the limit that you can endure, in
order to recruit the maximum number of fibers.

PROGRESSION IN THE LEVELS

In general, it is not advisable to go through the different levels quickly with the
intention of reaching level 5 as fast as possible. In fact, the different levels correspond
to progress with electrostimulation.
