The treatments of the Fitness category are intended to make healthy muscles work,
they are not suitable for atrophied muscles that have suffered from any kind of
pathological process. For such muscles, it is necessary to use the programmes of the
Rehabilitation category (see this section further on this chapter).
Fitness category
T
oday there are more fitness enthusiasts than
ever before, and their number is rising. Apart
from some rare individuals who have real compe-
titive targets, the vast majority have only one aim:
to restore their body to peak physical condition or
maintain it at that level.
Cardio training therefore alternates with more
specific exercises to develop or maintain a good
quality musculature.
W
ith this in mind, the sought-after aims may differ
according to who is doing the training: increasing
muscle volume to achieve an imposing stature
(body-building) or better muscle endurance to im-
prove physical comfort during sustained efforts.
Combined with a voluntary physical activity
(aerobic exercises in the fitness facility, footing,
cycling, swimming, etc.), which becomes more
pleasant and therefore more effective, the pro-
grammes of the Fitness category enable users to
obtain a toned and harmonious figure.
