Intended Use
The “Compex® Sport” is intended
to stimulate healthy muscles
in order to improve or facilitate
muscle performance.
The “Compex® Sport” is not intended to be used in conjunction with
therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of
any kind. None of the “Compex® Sport” training programs is
designed for injured or ailing muscles and its use on such muscles is
contraindicated.
The “Compex® Sport” electrical impulses allow the triggering of
action potentials on motoneurones of motor nerves (excitations).
These excitations of motoneurones are transmitted to the muscle
fibers via the motor endplate where they generate mechanical
muscle fiber responses that correspond to muscle work. Depending
on the parameters of the electrical impulses (pulse frequency,
duration of contraction, duration of rest, total session duration),
different types of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated
muscles.
The various types of muscle work that the “Compex® Sport” can
impose on the stimulated muscles are able to improve or facilitate
muscle performance.
The “Compex® Sport” may therefore be considered a technique
of muscle training.
