C
practised in the water can contribute to
this. However, integrating Compex
muscular stimulation into the voluntary
training programme makes it possible to
achieve far better results.
he special muscular contraction regime

of the
Strength
programme and the
large amount of work to which muscles
are subjected will allow you to increase
significantly the strength of the
latissimus dorsi, key muscles for the
swimmer. Moreover, the
programme (of the Recovery category),
carried out within three hours of the
most intensive training, encourages
muscular recuperation and makes it
possible to follow on with qualitative
training under optimum conditions.

lanning example to develop the
P
strength of the quadriceps. Depending
on the sport being practised, a different
muscle group may be chosen. During
the preparatory pre-season period for
team sports, it is essential not to neglect
specific muscle preparation. In most
team sports, the qualities of speed and
strength make all the difference.
Stimulation of the quadriceps (or a
different key muscle depending on the
sport concerned) by means of the
Compex
Strength
programme will result
in increased speed of contraction and
muscular strength.
