The frequency of pulses can also
define the aim of the electro
stimulation, as passive training.
Physiological and metabolic
characteristics of a muscle, in fact,
can be modified by the electrical
stimulation.
The high frequency stimulation can
partially “convert” the tonic fibers in
phasic fibers, these last
characterized by a higher
development of instantaneous force,
with the prejudice of muscular
resistance.
A very low frequency (1 to 10 Hz)
will be always accepted, like a
massage and it will not produce
fatigue. The physiological effect is
related to the blood flow
improvement, bringing to a better
tissue feeding and facilitation in
the catabolic drainage (absorption).
A low frequency is suitable for starting
a session, allowing a muscular
warm-up, and for ending a session,
allowing a fatigue recover.
