endurance performance
E ffort expended over a long period of
time makes demands on the aerobic
metabolism, for which the decisive factor
is the quantity of oxygen consumed by
the muscles. To progress in endurance, it
is therefore necessary to increase as much
as possible the supply of oxygen to the
muscles stimulated by this type of effort.
Because oxygen is conveyed by the blood,
it is essential to have an efficient
cardiovascular system, due to voluntary
training under certain conditions.
However, a muscle capacity to consume
the oxygen it receives (oxydative capacity)
can also be improved by following a
specific work regime.
he Endurance programme of the Sport
T
category leads to a significant
improvement in the consumption of
oxygen by muscles. Combining this
programme with the
programme (of the Warm-up category),
which develops the network of
intramuscular capillaries, is particularly
beneficial and allows endurance athletes
to improve their performance levels.

Preparation for a runner
training three times a week
who wishes to progress in
endurance (half-marathon,
marathon)
R unning as many miles as possible is
essential in order to improve
performance in endurance events.
However, the strain on tendons and
joints this type of training causes is
today universally recognised. Integrating
Compex electrostimulation into the
training of the long-distance runner
offers an excellent alternative that can
help to overcome this problem.
he Endurance programme, which
T
results in improving the capacity of
muscles to consume oxygen, and the
Capillarization programme (of the
Warm-up category), which develops the
capillaries in the muscles, allow greater
endurance to be achieved while limiting
the weekly mileage and therefore the risk
of injury.
