Combined workout
B y subjecting your muscles to different
workout sequences, this programme
maintains your overall physical condition
or reactivates your muscles after a period
of rest and before more intense and
targeted exercise or sport.
Stimulation energy: highest tolerable energy
(0-694)

Compex in 5 minutes".
Specific applications
Your goal as a cyclist is to
improve your endurance
To improve your endurance, you must
develop to the maximum the oxygen
supply to muscles stressed by sustained
exercise. The
Endurance programme will
produce a significant increase in the
consumption of oxygen by the muscles.
The association of this programme with
the
Oxygenation programme, which leads
to development of the intramuscular
blood capillary network, is particularly
interesting and will again improve your
endurance.
Duration of the cycle: 8 weeks, 2-3 times a week
Example for 1 week
Mon.: Rest
Tue.: 1 x Endurance 8G c
Wed.: Cycling workout 1.5 hours, then 1 x
Oxygenation 8◊ c
Thu.: 1 x Endurance 8G c
Fri.: Rest
Sat.: Cycling workout 60’, then 1 x
Endurance 8G c
Sun.: Cycling outing 2.5 hours, then 1 x
Oxygenation 8◊ c
At the end of a cycle, you may either start a new
cycle at the next level up or do some
maintenance at the rate of 1 session a week at
the last level reached.
You want to improve the
muscular qualities of your
abdominal belt
T he abdominal belt muscles play a
determining role for efficiency of
movement in most exercise and in sport.
H owever, improving the muscular
qualities of the abdomen is all too
frequently neglected owing to the tedious
nature of voluntary exercises necessary.
The
Resistance programme provides a
solution for this problem by imposing an
exercise regime that is perfectly tailored to
the physiological specifications of the
muscular fibres that support the
abdominal muscles.
Duration of the cycle: 6 weeks, 3 times a week
Programme: Resistance 10I v or 44I v (the
entire abdominal belt), 11I v (rectus abdominus)
At the end of a cycle, you may either start a new
cycle at the next level up or do some
maintenance at the rate of 1 session a week at
the last level reached.
You want to prepare for a
team sport before the season
starts
D uring the preparatory pre-season period
for team sports, specific muscle
preparation is important. Stimulation of
the quadriceps with the
Strength
programme will lead to an increase of the
speed of contraction and muscular
strength. The practical benefits will be
obvious: improvement in starting and
movement speed , jumping, kicking, etc.
An
Active Recovery session, taken after
the most intensive workouts, accelerates
the muscular recovery rate and reduces
cumulative fatigue during the period of
the season when the amount of training is
high.
