E03 • Base strenght (non-medical program)
Cable type: TYPE 1 (see Figure 1 - Cable type.)
The basic strength program is used in sport to develop basic strength
which, by definition, is the maximum tension that a muscle can exert
against constant resistance. The contractions alternate with periods of
active recovery during the work phase, allowing the muscle to be trained
without subjecting it to stress and improving oxygenation of the same
muscle.
The basic rule for obtaining initial results is as follows: two sessions per
week (for each muscle region) for the first three weeks at increasing
intensity (20
÷
30), three sessions per week for the next three weeks at high
intensity (30
÷
50).
Intensity must be increased gradually treatment by treatment, without
overstraining the muscles. In the event of fatigue, suspend training for a
few days and revert to the
E09 Muscle Recovery
program instead.
ATTENTION
: the program involves an automatic increase in
intensity between the second and the third phase. Consequently it
will not be necessary to adjust stimulation intensity between
phases but only press the Up arrow key for any one of the 4
channels. The first work/recovery cycle of phase 3 will start at an
intensity of 90% of that set for phase 2; the second work/recovery
cycle will go up to 95% of intensity and finally the third
work/recovery cycle will go up to 100% of the intensity set for
phase 2.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
