A method of working muscles, electrical
stimulation has been around for several decades. Proven to fatigue
muscles and produce a training effect (muscle, strength, power
and endurance increases), Compex is a leader in the industry.
This is how it works: When you exercise, the brain sends the
order in the form of electrical currents that travel at high
speed along the nerve fibers. These electrical currents excite
the motor nerve, which then passes the information to the immediate
surroundings of the muscle, triggering a muscle contraction.
With electrostimulation, the excitation is produced directly
at the motor nerve, rather than by the brain. Compex Muscle Stimulator
produces powerful muscle contractions through "optimal",
safe and comfortable electrical impulses delivered at the motor
nerves.
The Compex Sport system allows you to tailor any training
program to suit individual needs. It can be used as a form of
muscle stimulation on its own, or integrated in a strength training
workout. The different programs available that alter the duration
of stimulation and rest include:
- Endurance
- Resistance
- Strength
- Explosive Strength
Each of these four training programs offers five different
levels of work that can be gradually increased, together with
a range in stimulation from 0 to 100 mAmp (muscular contractions
become very intense at 30 mAmp). Compex® Sport also comes
with a sophisticated and easy to use training program, in CD-ROM
format. The CD features over 75 different sport alternatives,
and so no matter what your sport, the Compex Training Planner
helps you optimize your workouts and training regimen. Numerous
criteria are brought into play:
- Choice of the muscle to be stimulated
- Choice of program
- Choice of the levels
- Frequency of training session
- Cycles duration and session planning
