V. Indications for Use
Planning of Stimulation Sessions
The Training Planner (www.plannerusa.bycompex.com) will
determine the number of training sessions per week you should do
and the number of weeks you should use a muscle training program.
Placement of the Electrodes
Depending on the sport you practice, the Training Planner
(www.plannerusa.bycompex.com) will determine the muscles that
should be stimulated. It also shows pictures with the correct
placements of the electrodes for the muscles involved. You can also
use the booklet provided for the positioning of the electrodes.
Setting of the Electrical Current Intensity
The intensity of the electrical current determines the number of
working fibers in the stimulated muscle. With a lower current
intensity, there are fewer working fibers. With a higher current
intensity the number of working fibers is increased. To reach a
significant percentage of working fibers, you should reach a
minimum intensity of 30 mAmp. This threshold intensity can be
reached within the first two sessions by progressively increasing the
intensity during muscle contractions. Once this threshold is
reached, continue to progressively increase the current intensity to
make the stimulation more effective. Further details about the
setting of the current intensity are given in the
“Practical Rules”
section of the the Training Planner (www.plannerusa.bycompex.com).
