Active Rest period is less than:
Rest Time = Work Time * (WorkHz-16.66) /
16.66 seconds.
This is because muscle fibres can only activate
a limited number of times a minute (about 1000)
without becoming fatigued.

PROGRAMME USAGE

Recommended use for all body parts except
the face:
Generally, 3 sessions per week, over a period
of 4 to 6 weeks, gives good initial results
depending on the body shaping, toning, sports
training or rehabilitation and recovery needs.
Face (Mode I):
Using the Sports TENS 2 is a non-invasive
option for helping lift and/or tighten the soft
tissues of the face, improving facial muscle tone
and reducing the signs of ageing.
Recommended use for Face: One treatment
session daily, 5 days/week, for 12 weeks.
You may notice some positive effects after just
one session, but normally it will take about 6
weeks before you notice a difference.

Take care when adjusting the intensity as facial
muscles are particularly sensitive; intensity
should be increased gradually, starting with a
very low level of stimulation (just above
perception) and increasing with care until you
reach a good level of stimulation, represented
by good muscle activation.
On the face, it is not necessary to reach levels
of intensity capable of causing discomfort!
Great and significant results are obtained
through consistency and patience.
Warning: Use the programme of your
choice on mode I and never bring the
intensity higher than 40 mA.
Always use small electrode pads (see E-CM25)
or the face electrode pads* (see E-CM3050).
*Sold separately.
A minimum distance of 3 cm. must be kept
between the electrode pad and the eyeball.
Note: You might notice mild skin
redness at the site of the electrode
pads after the treatment session. It
should fade within 10 to 20 minutes.
Very rarely temporary after-effects, such as
mild eyelid flutter, have been reported after
facial stimulation. This has always resolved
within a few days.
GENERAL ADVICE:
Ideally, use Sports TENS 2 once every two
days for each muscle with a day of rest in
between. It is possible to work on pairs of
muscles, for example thighs and abdominal
muscles, treating one set one day and the other
the next day.
