Preparation for a swimmer
training three times a week
who wishes to improve his
swimming power
In swimming, developing the propulsive
force of the upper limbs is an important
factor in improving performance.
Certain forms of voluntary training
practised in the water can contribute to
this. However, integrating Compex
muscular stimulation into the voluntary
training programme makes it possible to
achieve far better results.
The special muscular contraction regime
of the
Strength programme and the
large amount of work to which muscles
are subjected will allow you to increase
significantly the strength of the
latissimus dorsi, key muscles for the
swimmer. Moreover, the
Active recovery
programme (of the Recovery category),
carried out within three hours of the
most intensive training, encourages
muscular recuperation and makes it
possible to follow on with qualitative
training under optimum conditions.
Duration of the cycle: 8 weeks, 3 x/week
Eg for 1 week
Mon.: Rest

Pre-season preparation for a
team sport (football, rugby,
handball, volleyball, etc.)
Planning example to develop the
strength of the quadriceps. Depending
on the sport being practised, a different
muscle group may be chosen. During
the preparatory pre-season period for
team sports, it is essential not to neglect
specific muscle preparation. In most
team sports, the qualities of speed and
strength make all the difference.
Stimulation of the quadriceps (or a
different key muscle depending on the
sport concerned) by means of the
Compex
Strength programme will result
in increased speed of contraction and
muscular strength.
The practical benefits will be obvious:
improvement in starting and movement
speed , jumping, kicking, etc. An
Active
recovery session (of the Recovery
category), taken after the most intensive
workouts, accelerates the muscular
recovery rate and reduces cumulative
fatigue during the period of the season
