cycling races and 100 meter swimming. It is appropriate for many other fitness
applications and sports based on duration, such as body building, mountain
biking, weight lifting, dance (modern & classical), and toning and shaping,
which make repeated demands on muscle resistance.
Strength Program
The Contour Core Sculpting System Strength program imposes a high
and instantaneous power working level on muscle fibers during tetanic
contractions. These contractions are separated by long periods of rest.
The result is an average medium power working level (+20 minutes).
This program is intended to increase the maximum strength of muscle
contraction, which is carried out isometrically or dynamically. It is
specifically designed for sports characterized by a need for maximum but very
brief strength contractions. Weight lifting is a typical sport of this kind. This
program is also appropriate for any type of sports requiring a gain in strength on
a specific muscle (cycling, short distance running, soccer, etc.).
Explosive Strength Program
The purpose of the Contour Core Sculpting System Explosive Strength
program is to increase the speed with which maximum muscle strength
can be supplied. It is designed to improve performance in sporting
activities of very brief duration such as jumps, sprints and trowing. To
ensure a progressive approach in the muscle stimulation training, you are
advised not to use this program without having previously worked through the
cycle of sessions using the Strength program.
