Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 23 (21 excluded) of the Positions manual.
Intensity: medium.
FITNESS13 • Muscle recovery (non-medical program)
Can be used for all sports, after competitions or the most demanding training
sessions, in particular after long and intense exertion – to be used immediately
after exertion. This program helps drainage and winding down, improving muscle
oxygenation and helping to discharge synthetic substances produced during
exertion.
Session duration: 25 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 20 of the Positions manual, according to
the area to be treated.
Intensity: medium-low, increasing during the last 5/10 minutes.
FITNESS14 • Agonist/Antagonist (non-medical program)
The electronic stimulator produces contractions alternated between 2 channels:
during the first 4 minutes of warm-up the 2 channels work simultaneously, during
the central work phase (15 minutes) muscle contractions are alternated between
Channel 1 (agonist muscles) and Channel 2 (antagonist muscles). The program is
designed to restore muscle tone to the quadriceps and its antagonist the leg
biceps, or the biceps brachii and the triceps. The work aims at developing strength.
With this program, muscle relaxation is obtained by simultaneous stimulation from
both channels during the last 5 minutes. In the event of fatigue, suspend the
training for a few days and use the FITNESS19 program (Muscle relaxant).
Session duration: 24 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 02 to 05 and 11-12 of the Positions manual.
Intensity: during contraction has to be adjusted so that the contraction intensity is
the same as a voluntary one, in order to reduce the sense of discomfort and reach
higher intensities. Intensity must be increased gradually treatment by treatment,
without overstraining the muscles.
FITNESS15 • Sequential tonic contractions upper limbs and trunks (non-medical
program)
FITNESS16 • Sequential tonic contractions lower limbs (non-medical program)
This program increases microcirculation within and around the muscle fibers
treated creating rhythmic contractions, fostering better drainage and toning. It can
also be applied to older people to improve blood and lymphatic circulation in the
lower limbs (e.g. applying CH1 to the right calf, CH2 to the right thigh). These
programs can be carried out using self-adhesive electrodes.
