5. Alternation of stimulation
sessions / voluntary
training
T he stimulation sessions can be done
outside or during voluntary training.
W hen voluntary training and stimula-
tion are done during the same session,
it is generally recommended that the
voluntary training be done first follo-
wed by the stimulation. This means
that the voluntary training is not done
on muscle fibres which are already
tired. This is particularly important for
strength and explosive strength training.
H owever, in resistance training, it can
be very useful to proceed in the reverse
order. Before the voluntary training,
by means of stimulation for resistance,
a “specific pre-fatigue session” is
carried out on the muscle fibres
without general and cardio-vascular
fatigue. In this way, the voluntary
effort on the “prepared” fibres will
push the glycolytic metabolism faster
and further.
