Fitness category
Today there are more fitness enthusiasts than
ever before, and their number is rising. Apart
from some rare individuals who have real compe-
titive targets, the vast majority have only one aim:
to restore their body to peak physical condition or
maintain it at that level.
Cardio training therefore alternates with more
specific exercises to develop or maintain a good
quality musculature.
With this in mind, the sought-after aims may differ
according to who is doing the training: increasing
muscle volume to achieve an imposing stature
(body-building) or better muscle endurance to
improve physical comfort during sustained efforts.
Combined with a voluntary physical activity
(aerobic exercises in the fitness facility, footing,
cycling, swimming, etc.), which becomes more
pleasant and therefore more effective, the
programs of the
Fitness
category enable users
to obtain a toned and harmonious figure.
The treatments of the Fitness category are intended to make healthy muscles work,
they are not suitable for atrophied muscles that have suffered from any kind of
pathological process. For such muscles, it is necessary to use the programs of the
Rehabilitation category (see this section on this chapter).
