V. Indications for Use
How to Use the “Compex
®
Sport”
Always stimulate muscles isometrically; this means that the
extremities of the limb in which a muscle is being stimulated must
be firmly secured (see pictograms below) to prevent the movement
of the limb (resulting from muscle contraction).
In order to use the “Compex® Sport” safely and effectively, the
following essential matters must be considered:
1) the choice of the appropriate muscle work program
2) the planning of stimulation sessions
3) the placement of the electrodes
4) the setting of the electrical current intensity
Choice of the Appropriate Muscle Work Program
The choice of a program determines the kind of work that is imposed
on the stimulated muscles. Based on your knowledge about sport
training, you can choose the program that is appropriate to your
needs. Please use the “Compex® Sport” CD-ROM as it offers an
advanced interactive way to establish an appropriate work program.
With just a few answers to basic questions, the “Training Planner”
section will determine which is the most appropriate program for you.
