Use of the Regeneration
programme to eliminate
muscle fatigue more quickly
(cross-country running,
football, basketball, tennis,
etc.) and restore good
muscular sensations more
quickly
T he Regeneration programme, known
also as the "day-after programme" must
be used on key muscles for the discipline
being practised. In this example, key
muscles for the cross-country runner
(quadriceps) will be stimulated. For
other disciplines, the choice of muscles
to be stimulated may be different. Note
that this type of programme is
particularly beneficial for all sports
where competitions are repeated at
frequent intervals, during tournaments
and cups in various sports.
T he stimulation session using the
Regeneration programme must be
carried out the day after a competition to
replace or supplement so-called
"restoration" training, which can
therefore be less intensive. Contrary to
the
Active recovery programme, which
provokes no tetanic contractions and
which must be used during the three
hours after the competition or intensive
training, the
Regeneration programme is
a form of light training which, in
addition to an analgesic effect and an
increased blood flow, aims to impose a
small degree of anaerobic training and
likewise to provoke slight tetanic
contractions that are not tiring, making it
possible to reactivate the proprioceptive
pathways. Energy pathways are also
gently stimulated, allowing their
metabolic equilibrium to re-establish
itself.
The session is composed of 6 stimulation
sequences that follow on automatically:
1 st sequence: painkilling effect
2 nd sequence: significant increase in blood
output
3 rd sequence: tetanic contractions to
restore muscular sensations
4 th sequence: activation of the oxidative
metabolic pathway
5 th sequence: significant increase in blood
output
6 th sequence: relaxing effect
Duration of the cycle: To be used throughout
the season, according to the frequency of
competitions; the day after each
competition.
