8 PROGRAMMES
The Compex Wireless is set up with the following programmes. Once you have created an account at www.compexwireless.com and
synchronised your remote control you will be able to download new programmes.
Please note: Programmes that induce muscle contractions such as Endurance, Resistance, Strength, etc. are offered with 3 different levels. To
learn how to use these levels, please see chapter 5. Instructions for use.
PROGRAMMES EFFECTS USES
Capillarization Very marked increase in blood flow
Development of capillaries
In the period before competition, for those
participating in endurance or resistance sports
To improve endurance in those whose
fitness level is not high
Toning massage Activation of blood circulation
Recovery of muscular contractile properties
Invigorating effect
To prepare the muscles in an ideal manner before an
unusual/one-time physical activity
Endurance Improved absorption of oxygen by the stimulated
muscles
Improved performance for endurance sports
For athletes who wish to improve their performance in
long-duration sporting events
Resistance Improved lactic capacity of muscles
Improved performance for conscious resistance sports
For athletes who wish to increase their capacity to
obtain intense and prolonged effort
Strength Increased maximum strength
Increased rate of muscular contraction
For athletes practising a discipline that requires
strength and speed
Explosive strength Increases the speed at which the level of strength is
attained
Improved efficiency of explosive actions (jumping,
sprinting, etc.)
For athletes practising a discipline in which explosive
strength is an important factor in performance
Hypertrophy Increased muscle volume
Increased muscle resistance
For athletes who wish to increase their muscle mass
Fartlek Training and preparation of muscles for all kinds of
muscular work (endurance, resistance, strength,
explosive strength) through different working
sequences
At the beginning of the season to “re-set” the muscles
after a rest period and before more intensive and
specific training
During the season for those who do not have any
preferences for a single kind of performance and prefer
to exercise their muscles with different work-out
methods
Active recovery Marked increase in blood flow
Accelerates the elimination of waste from the muscular
contraction
Endorphinic effect
Relaxing effect
To improve and accelerate the muscle recovery after an
intensive exercise
To be used during the first 3 hours after each session of
intensive training or after a competition
Relaxing massage Decreased muscular tension
Drainage of the toxins responsible for the exaggerated
increase of muscular tone
Effect of well-being and relaxation
To eliminate uncomfortable or painful sensations,
following an exaggerated increase of muscular tone
Anti-stress massage Improvement of tissue vascularisation
Decreased muscular tension associated with stress
Return to calm
To restore a sensation of well-being after stressful
situations
Heavy legs Increased venous return
Increased supply of oxygen to muscles
Drop in muscular tension
Elimination of tendency to have cramp
To restore a sensation of well-being after stressful
situations
