B. SPECIALIZED MUSCLE TRAINING PROGRAMS (CONTINUED)

Active Recovery

The Compex Active Recovery cool-down program produces muscle twitches at a
very low frequency. Those twitches act like a massage and induce an increase in
blood flow. They are responsible for a faster reduction of the lactic acid blood level
(much better than mere rest) and accelerate the exchanges between muscle fibers
and blood. Consequently, the stimulated muscles recuperate better from fatigue
and the athlete has a feeling of relaxation and muscle lightness. This type of cool-
down program is recommended after hard training sessions and competitions. It is
particularly useful after sports requiring long duration efforts, combining endurance
and resistance (cycling, marathon, triathlon, mountain-bike, etc.). The same is
applicable to sports that require shorter efforts (basketball, soccer, football).

Pre-Warmup

The Compex Pre-Warmup program helps muscles to get ready and should be used
before training sessions and before competitions.

Recovery Plus

The Compex Recover Plus program is a sub-set of the Active Recovery program
that produces a very low constant frequency to induce a gentle muscle contraction
and vibration to increase in blood flow. This program should be used after training
sessions and competitions.

Massage

The Compex Massage program produces gentle muscle twitches, like a massage,
to facilitate recovery from muscle fatigue and to help recover muscle strength after
training sessions and competitions.
