The programs differ in their frequency and the period of the training
pulses. The total duration of a program is subdivided into different du-
ration periods with preset stimulation frequencies. These frequencies
are carefully adapted to each other.
Lower frequency ranges (approx. 2 Hz to 40 Hz) are mainly used for
muscle relaxation and higher frequencies are used for muscle stimu-
lation. The pulse width specifies the duration of the pulse emitting
phase during the use. Higher pulse widths have a higher stimulating
effect on the muscles. Lower pulse widths are preferably used for
warming up resp. for smoothly loosing the muscles. As for a physical
workout with weights, each training with the unit should alternate bet-
ween muscular stimulation and relaxation. This ensures a smooth and
effective muscle training. The 10 available programs therefore contain
different frequencies and duration periods which are automatically
adjusted. The intensity may be changed manually during the use of the
Abdominal muscle stimulation belt BOB
to chapter ("3.3 Intensity setting").
The 10 programs can be completed within several weeks. In the first
week you should use program 1 and a low intensity setting. From the
onwards you can train more frequently and with higher intensity and
other programs. You should also adapt the program and intensity
according to your personal fitness grade and feeling. As a beginner, do
not use the unit more than once a day! Starting from the second week,
you may use the unit more often, but you should always rest at least
5 hours between training sessions in order to allow your muscles to
recover.
