S04 • Competitive/Counteractive (Agonist / Antagonist)
The electronic stimulator produces contractions alternated between 4 channels: during the first
3 minutes of warm-up the 4 channels work simultaneously, during the second work phase (20
minutes) muscle contractions are alternated between Channel 1/2 (agonist muscles) and
Channel 3/4 (antagonist muscles). The program is designed to restore muscle tone to the
quadriceps and its antagonist the leg biceps, or the biceps brachii and the triceps. The work
aims at developing strength. With this program, muscle relaxation is obtained by simultaneous
stimulation from 4 channels during the last 10 minutes (phase 3).
Stimulation intensity during the contraction: enough to produce good muscle contraction +
voluntary contraction to reduce the sense of discomfort and reach higher intensities. Intensity
must be increased gradually treatment by treatment, without overstraining the muscles.
Suspend training for a few days in the event of fatigue and proceed with the “S 02” program.
During the second work phase, the intensity level needs to be selected three times: once for
the four channels of active recovery, once for contractions with channels 1 and 2 (agonist
muscles) and once for contractions with channels 3 and 4 (antagonist muscles).

S05 • Long effort (resistant strength).
This program is designed to increase resistance to physical stress, or rather withstand intense
exertion for a longer amount of time in muscle regions subjected to stimulation. Indicated for
sporting disciplines involving long and intense periods of exertion.
Stimulation intensity during the contraction: start with a low level of intensity, increasing it
gradually. For practised athletes the intensity used should be enough to produce visible
muscle contractions.
In the event of muscle ache after stimulation, use the S02 program (recovery).
