3. Adjusting stimulation
energies
I n a stimulated muscle, the number of
recruited fibres depends on the
stimulation energy. For programmes
involving powerful muscular contractions,
you must therefore use maximum
stimulation energies (up to 694), always at
the limit that you can endure, in order to
recruit the maximum number of fibres.
4. Progression in the levels
I n general, it is not advisable to go
through the different levels quickly with
the intention of reaching level 3 as fast as
possible. In fact, the different levels
correspond to progress with
electrostimulation.
T he simplest and most usual procedure is
to start with level 1 and raise the level
when changing to a new stimulation cycle.
A t the end of a cycle, you may either start
a new cycle at the next level up or do
some maintenance at the rate of 1 session
V THE
m
TECHNOLOGY
m stands for m usc le inte llig e nc e
™
(all
items referring to this technology are
preceded by the symbol m).
T his technology takes into account the
specific features of each of our muscles
and thus offers stimulation adapted to
their characteristics.
I t’s simple, as the data is transmitted to
the stimulator automatically!
I t’s personalised, as each of our muscles is
unique!
The Energy stimulator bears the label
m-
READY
, as it can use certain functions
of the m technology if a stimulation
cable fitted with the
m-4 system
(sold separately) is connected.
1. Practical rules of use
T o access the m functions, make
sure that the stimulation cable fitted with
the m-4 system (sold separately) is
connected before you turn on the
stimulator.
Avoid connecting the stimulation cable
fitted with the m-4 system when the
Compex is switched on.
T o work correctly, the m-4 system
must not be blocked or subjected to
pressure.
D uring the stimulation session, the
stimulation cable fitted with the m-4
system must always be connected to an
electrode.
