FITNESS2 • Resistance upper limbs and trunks (non-medical program)
FITNESS3 • Resistance lower limbs (non-medical program)
The Resistance program is used in sports to increase muscle resistance, acting
mainly on slow-twitch fibres; in fact, this program is indicated for endurance
sports: marathon runners, cross-country skiers, ironman, etc. In the event of
muscle ache after stimulation, use the FITNESS19 program (Muscle relaxant).
Session duration: 34 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 23 (21 excluded) of the Positions manual.
Intensity: if not particularly fit, start with a low intensity then increase gradually.
For trained athletes the intensity used should be enough to produce visible muscle
contractions.
FITNESS4 • Resistant strength upper limbs and trunks (non-medical program)
FITNESS5 • Resistant strength lower limbs (non-medical program)
This program is designed to help increase resistance to physical stress, or rather
withstand intense exertion for a longer amount of time in muscle regions
subjected to stimulation. It is indicated for sporting disciplines involving long,
intense periods of exertion. In the event of muscle ache after stimulation, use the
FITNESS19 program (Muscle relaxant).
Session duration: 29 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 23 (21 excluded) of the Positions manual.
Intensity: if not particularly fit, start with a low intensity then increase gradually.
For trained athletes the intensity used should be enough to produce visible muscle
contractions.
FITNESS6 • Basic strength upper limbs and trunks (non-medical program)
FITNESS7 • Basic strength lower limbs (non-medical program)
This program is used in sport to develop basic strength, which for definition is the
maximum tension that a muscle can exert against constant resistance. The
contractions alternate with periods of active recovery during the work phase,
allowing the muscle to be trained without subjecting it to stress and improving
oxygenation of the same muscle. The following basic procedure will enable you to
obtain the first results: two sessions per week (for each muscle region) for the first
three weeks at medium/low intensity, three sessions per week for the next three
weeks at high intensity. In the event of fatigue, suspend training for a few days and
use the FITNESS19 program (Muscle relaxant).
Session duration: 24 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 23 (21 excluded) of the Positions manual.
