NEMS4 • Resistant strength upper limbs and trunks (non-medical program)
NEMS5 • 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 NEMS19 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.
NEMS6 • Basic strength upper limbs and trunks (non-medical program)
NEMSS7 • 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 NEMS19 program
(Muscle relaxant).
Session duration: 24 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 23 (21 excluded) of the Positions
manual.
Intensity: gradually increased session after session without overexerting the
muscles.
NEMS8 • Fast strength upper limbs and trunks (non-medical program)
NEMS9 • Fast strength lower limbs (non-medical program)
This program is designed to increase speed in fast athletes and develop it in
athletes lacking this quality.
The exercise assumes a fast pace and the contraction is short, as is the
recovery. It is usually best to complete a three-week basic strength cycle of
increasing intensity before using this program. Then continue with three
