Intensity: gradually increased session after session without overexerting the
muscles.
FITNESS8 • Fast strength upper limbs and trunks (non-medical program)
FITNESS9 • Fast strength lower limbs (non-medical program)
This program is designed to increase speed in fast athletes and develop it in
athletes lacking this quality.
The exercise assumes a fast pace and the contraction is short, as is the recovery. It
is usually best to complete a three-week basic strength cycle of increasing intensity
before using this program. Then continue with three weeks of fast strength three
times a week at high intensity, almost past endurance during the contraction.
Session duration: 24 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 23 (21 excluded) of the Positions manual.
Intensity: gradually increased session after session without overexerting the
muscles until reaching the maximum level of tolerance.
FITNESS10 • Explosive strength upper limbs and trunks (non-medical program)
FITNESS11 • Explosive strength lower limbs (non-medical program)
Explosive strength programs increase the explosive power and speed of the muscle
mass, with extremely short, strengthening contractions and very long active
recovery times to allow the muscle to regain strength. It is usually best to complete
a three-week basic strength cycle of increasing intensity, before using this
program. Then continue with three weeks of explosive strength twice a week.
Session duration: 24 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 23 (21 excluded) of the Positions manual.
Intensity: during contraction, the intensity has to be the highest that can be
endured in order to obtain maximum muscle exertion whilst involving the greatest
number of fibres.
FITNESS12 • Deep capillarization (non-medical program)
This program significantly increases arterial flow in the treated area. Prolonged use
of this program develops the intramuscular capillary network of fast-twitch fibers.
The effect obtained is an increase in the capacity of fast-twitch fibers to withstand
strain over extended periods of time. For an athlete with good resistance, the
capillarization program is very useful for recovery after intense aerobic work,
before anaerobic work and when training is not possible (due to bad weather or
an injury).
Session duration: 30 minutes.
