A. MUSCLE STIMULATION TRAINING PROGRAMS
NOTE: For the 4 basic workout programs: Endurance, Resistance, Strength, Explosive
Strength, we advise you to consult the training planner on our website shopcompex.com.
An interactive question and answer system takes you to a personalized training plan.
The Compex Sport Elite provides four muscle stimulation training programs.
They correspond to the type of muscle performance the athlete wishes to
improve or maintain. These training programs are:
Each of these four training programs offers five different working levels that enable
the amount of work to be gradually increased.

Endurance

The Compex Endurance program imposes an average medium working level on
muscle fibers. This working level is maintained over a long period (40 minutes per
session). The Endurance program particularly activates the aerobic metabolism of the
fibers during the stimulation session. The purpose is to increase the time the muscle
is able to maintain a medium level of working power or the average power level the
muscle is able to maintain for extended periods of time. The program may be used
in most physical preparations to establish or improve basic muscle endurance. It is
designed to increase the average intensity of muscle effort that must be maintained
over a long period. It is most appropriate for athletes engaged in endurance sports
such as marathon, triathlon, cycling, etc.

Resistance

The Compex Resistance program imposes an average high power working level
on muscle fibers. This working level is maintained over a short period (12 minutes
per session). The Resistance program activates the anaerobic metabolism of muscle
fibers during the stimulation session and induces the production of lactic acid. It is
intended to increase the time the muscle is able to maintain a high power working
level (close to its maximum) or the average power working level the muscle is able
to maintain for a short duration. It is designed for sporting activities, which are
characterized by a need for intense (close to the maximum) efforts to be maintained
or repeated to approach the limit of muscle exhaustion. Sports requiring this type of
effort are, for example, the 400 and 800 meters, one-kilometer cycle races and 100
meters swimming. It is appropriate for many other sports based on duration, such as
cycling, which makes repeated demands on muscle resistance.
