The Programs
 

Sports Programs Before starting electro stimulation training, certain basic concepts must be made clear in relation to sports training. Every type of sport contemplates improving certain physical qualities that can also be trained using an electro stimulator. It is best therefore to use the programs suited to the type of sport being practiced. Endurance Increases the resistance of fatigue in conditions of prolonged effort. Maximizes the capacity of the fibers and increases the resistance and actual aerobic ability of the muscle. The Endurance Program works with a medium intensity, alternated with periods of rest. The program is intense, and can replace the traditional long sessions of resistance training, often responsible for exhausting tendons and the skeletal system.. The frequency used in this program goes from 10 to 25 Hz, with a recovery or resting period of 1 Hz from 3 to 7 seconds. Remember a good athlete warms up and then progressively increases the intensity and the variation of training. Resistance The objective is to increase the muscular resistance to the greatest prolonged effort, working the muscle fibers in anaerobic condition with consequent secretion of lactic acid. This program replaces trainings that normally take a lot of time and energy. The muscles involved in the development of resistance to force are mainly those with slow reactivity, muscles used in activities that you do all the time over and over again. The electric stimulation of the muscle fibers is of 40-60 Hz; this is very good for the development of force. This ratio of force and recovery produces increased resistance You can easily see visible results after sessions of electro stimulation using the specific programs. The muscle fibers are submitted to special work conditions that are specific to each program. Deep reductions and repeated decrease of loss of oxygen to the cells increases the production of lactic acid. Submitted to these workloads the metabolism of good cells increase hormones and production of the muscle fibers, causing real growth and muscle mass Force Force is necessary in sports discipline. The sessions of electro muscle stimulation allow you to integrate normal training in the gym, or to replace your gym training for a certain period of time, for example during the winter months. The electric impulses distributed for the development of force involves type two white muscle fibers. Power The protocols and settings dedicated to the development of power and building muscle, work almost exclusively on the white fibers. This gives the greatest level of training dedicated to building muscle. This specific training is necessary for every sport, which requires the muscle to exert force over and over in a very short period of time. The impulses applied to the muscle, can reach the 100-120 Hz. The duration is not more than 3 to 5 seconds, followed by a period of recovery of at least 30 seconds; this is necessary to restore the biological capacity of the fibers after intense effort. The resting phase is important because it is extremely low, only 1 Hz to give the muscle the greatest capacity of relaxation. This program allows you to build muscle going at your own pace. Recovery Recovery is extremely important to muscular metabolism. After intense activity, the muscle used stretches out and this reduces the muscles ability to respond to repeated stimulation. Such phenomenon is defined scientifically as “muscular toil” and can cause if prolonged, the breakdown of muscle fibers, and a strong production of lactic acid. The Recovery Program aids in the production of lactic acid and in time restores the elasticity of the muscle. The Recovery Program needs to be applied from 3 minutes to 15 after exercise. Beauty Programs SLIM SLIM is used in reducing fatty tissue areas. Localized fatty tissue is caused by bad eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle, which is increasingly more widespread. The problem is universally acknowledged as producing considerable aesthetic damage, as well as being bad for the health. The specific frequencies of the SLIM program submit the treated area to dynamic muscular activity, which results in a considerable increase of local blood circulation and consequently a rise in temperature. This results in increased energy consumption without any strain. MIX Is a draining program, for muscular relaxation and circulation. The continuous stimulation at a very low frequency with this program causes a rise in local microcirculation, which is ideal for preparing muscles (warm-up) for the exercise induced by electro stimulation. This program is always recommended for a few minutes before undergoing the Slim or Tone programs. MIX is also particularly suitable for muscular relaxation in case of contracted muscles, as of the cervical region, upper trapezius and muscular connective tissue adjacent to the vertebral column. Thanks to the draining and circulation action, this can also be an ideal tool for combating cellulite. Cellulite is in fact an unsightly defect based on defective primary microcirculation, leading to alteration of the fatty tissue and connective fibers; a constant and combined use of the SLIM and MIX programs, possibly coupled with a healthy eating plan, can give remarkable results. VISO This program works with specific frequencies and times for delicate facial muscles. VISO helps in the prevention and correction of loss of face, neck muscle tone and skin tone. Exercise for the neck muscle prevents the relaxation of neck skin. Prevents neck and cheek folds due to excess skin and bags below the eyes. VISO helps in prevention and reduction of wrinkles. VISO improves skin nutrition and formation of blood vessels, helps with detoxification, cell renewal and a better outward appearance. Thanks to muscle squeezing, elimination of stagnant liquids, which causes swelling, and swollen bags under the eyes. REHAB Electro muscle stimulation has become known and widely used in the medical field and physical therapy. Some surveys have shown that voluntary re-education produces better results when it is associated with electro stimulation. It has now become indispensable during rehabilitation. After an injury or surgery muscles are often forced into a long period inactivity. In such conditions they quickly become atrophic and lose their functional capacity. Muscle atrophy first of all affects the red fibers, or type 1 fibers, which help maintain posture and are involved in repetitive actions and resistance. Rehabilitation stimulation must first of all be directed towards exercising this type of fiber Post Trauma Treatment is recommended immediately after experiencing any trauma to the muscles, the low frequency of this program help’s the muscle to maintain the tone and functionality you would normally lose because of temporary suspension of normal activity. There are specific currents applied to the muscles after long periods of inactivity or of reduced activity, that gradually increase the muscular tone until it is restored to normal Reinforcement This program aids in complete recovery of the normal functions of your muscle, allowing restoration of muscle fibers and progressively returning the ability to express force and resistance. TENS Tens is a widely used method in trauma, strokes and physically therapy by hospitals and clinics all over the world. TENS is a technique used to relieve pain in an injured or diseased part of the body in which electrodes applied to the skin deliver intermittent stimulation to surface nerves, blocking the transmission of pain signals. Deco traction increases the blood traffic to the muscle fibers, helping to stretch the cervical area of the spine. Stimulation helps to increase endorphins this acts as natural analgesic, and is recommended in the lumbar area.
