Benefits of electrostimulation
Electrostimulation is a very effective way to
make your muscles work:
• with significant improvement of different
muscular qualities
• without cardio-vascular or mental fatigue
• with limited stress on the joints and
tendons. Electrostimulation thus allows a
greater quantity of work by the muscles
compared with voluntary activity.
To be effective, this work must involve
the greatest possible number of muscular
fibres. The number of fibres working
depends on the stimulation energy.
The maximum tolerable energy should
therefore be used. The user controls this
aspect of stimulation. The higher the
stimulation energy, the greater the number
of muscular fibres that are working and,
therefore, the more significant the progress
achieved. To maximise results, Compex
recommends that you complement your
electrostimulation sessions with other
efforts, such as:
• regular physical exercise
• proper and healthy nutrition
• balanced lifestyle.
