IMPORTANT. Stimulation intensity: sport programs (Resistance,
Strength, Agonist/Antagonist) are divided into warm up phases, work phases,
recovery phases. During the warm up phase (phase 1), the stimulation
intensity should be adjusted to produce a slight tickling sensation in the
treated muscle; this should be enough to warm up the muscle without
straining (18÷30mA). During the work phases (the phases in the middle of the
programs), the contraction pulses are alternated with active recovery pulses.
The user has to select the two intensities separately: for the contraction
phase (on display
unfit people, 30÷50mA for fit people, and over 50mA for very fit people.
For the active recovery pulses, between a contraction and the other, the
intensity should be set to a value lower than the contraction intensity by
about 15 20%. During the recovery phase (the last phase) the intensity
should be set so as to obtain a good massaging effect on the stimulated area,
without causing pain (18÷30mA).
Important tip: to reduce the sense of discomfort and reach higher intensities,
we recommend that you produce a voluntary contraction between the
contraction generated by T-ONE. This voluntary contraction shall be carried
out with the limb locked (technically in isometry), in other words, without
moving the limb.
Why is the active muscle contraction important during the T-ONE
contraction?
The advantage are as follow:
 it improves the neuronal activity (the central nervous system participates
to the T-ONE contraction, "recognising" the stimulated fibres);
 the sense of discomfort is significantly reduced and the intensity can be
increased without affecting the comfort of the patient;
