2. Practical rules of use in the

m—1

mode

To achieve maximum effectiveness, the

m—1

work mode requires good muscular

qualities. Muscles with poor performance may, in certain cases, prevent the voluntary

start of the contraction.

The

m—1

work mode, associated with exercises carried out dynamically (i.e., with an as-

sociated movement), should be reserved for sportsmen doing voluntary muscular training and

already familiar with muscular training by electrostimulation. Some of these exercises (such

as squats) are difficult to do in the

m—1

work mode, because of the particular order of

the specific motor sequences of the exercise.

In the event of repeated failures when using the

m—1

work mode, it is recommended that

you carry out a complete work cycle in the “classic” mode, befor e making any new

attempt in the

m—1

mode.

o make the most of all these advan-

tages, it is particularly important to

comply with certain rules of use.
