    In other words, the muscle cannot distinguish whether the command comes from the brain or from the stimulator. The parameters of the Compex Sport Elite programs (number of impulses per second, contraction time, rest time, total program time) subject the muscles to different types of work, according to muscular fibers.

  • Page 20: Benefits Of Electrostimulation

    INTRODUCTION BENEFITS OF ELECTROMUSCULAR STIMULATION (EMS) Electrostimulation is a very effective way to make your muscles work: • with significant improvement of different muscular qualities • without cardio-vascular or mental fatigue • with limited stress on the joints and tendons. Electrostimulation thus allows a greater quantity of work by the muscles compared with voluntary activity.

    The goal is to progress through the electrical intensities and then through the levels. The more numerous the muscle fibers you stimulate, the more numerous will be the fibers that are going to progress. But the speed of progress of these fibers and their aptitude for operating at a higher rating depend on the program and level used, the number of sessions per week, the length of these sessions and on intrinsic factors specific to each individual.
