MUSCLE STIMULATION TRAINING PROGRAMS
Note: For the 4 basic workout programs: Endurance, Resistance, Strength, Explosive Strength, we advise you
to consult the training planner on our website www�ShopCompex�com�
The Compex Wireless USA provides four muscle stimulation training programs� They correspond to the type of
muscle performance the athlete wishes to improve or maintain� These training programs are:
• Endurance
• Resistance
• Strength
• Explosive Strength
Each of these four training programs offers five different working levels that enable the amount of work to be
gradually increased�
ENDURANCE
The Compex Endurance program imposes an average medium working level on muscle fibers� This working level
is maintained over a long period (40 minutes per session)� The Endurance program particularly activates the
aerobic metabolism of the fibers during the stimulation session� The purpose is to increase the time the muscle
is able to maintain a medium level of working power or the average power level the muscle is able to maintain
durations of 1 to 5 (7) minutes� The program may be used in most physical preparations to establish or improve
basic muscle endurance� It is designed to increase the average intensity of muscle effort that must be maintained
over a long period� It is most appropriate for athletes engaged in endurance sports such as marathon, triathlon,
cycling, etc�
RESISTANCE
The Compex Resistance program imposes an average high power working level on muscle fibers� This working
level is maintained over a short period (12 minutes per session)� The Resistance program activates the anaerobic
metabolism of muscle fibers during the stimulation session and induces the production of lactic acid� It is
intended to increase the time the muscle is able to maintain a high power working level (close to its maximum)
or the average power working level the muscle is able to maintain for a short duration� It is designed for sporting
activities, which are characterized by a need for intense (close to the maximum) efforts to be maintained or
repeated to approach the limit of muscle exhaustion� Sports requiring this type of effort are, for example, the 400
and 1600 meters, one-kilometer cycle races and 200 and 400 meters swimming� It is appropriate for many other
sports based on duration, such as cycling, which makes repeated demands on muscle resistance�
