Questions about training
1.Can I train the muscles more with Compex than with voluntary training?▾
Yes. When you stimulate a muscle using a Compex programme, there is no limit to the muscle work as a result of physical or cardiovascular fatigue. It is therefore possible to choose precise stimulation settings to work specific muscle areas more accurately and more effectively than is possible with classic voluntary training. The important thing is to increase the intensity levels to ensure that as many muscle fibres as possible are stimulated.
2.Why does training with Complex not cause trauma?▾
With Compex, the muscle contractions always develop gradually with no sudden pull on the tendons or joints. This means that it is not possible to cause muscle or tendon trauma. However, as the muscle work is intense, muscle soreness is frequent at the start of training, just like when starting muscle training with weights.
3.Can Compex sessions be carried out during voluntary training?▾
Compex sessions can be carried out outside or during voluntary training. If you wish to do both types of training at the same time, we recommend that you start with voluntary training. In some cases, particularly for resistance work, it can be beneficial to start with a Compex session in order to generate a state of “pre-fatigue” in the muscle fibres.
4.Can Compex simply replace voluntary training in general?▾
Compex stimulation is a complement to voluntary training. It is obviously essential to continue practising movements, technique, cardio-vascular development etc. Compex training is a complement to voluntary training to boost overall training performance.
5.What does Compex bring to traditional training?▾
It will enable you to increase your training hours, enhance training quality and improve recovery. Regardless of the type of sport practised, the level of muscle stimulation of the Compex programmes always enhances performance. You can train more, better and in less time: save time, and increase effectiveness and performance.
6.Is training with Compex also suitable for adolescents or children?▾
Complex is obviously not a toy, and it must not be used by children without adult supervision. Having said that, as Compex prevents overtaxing the bones and tendons, unlike classic weight training, it can be used to good effect to increase muscle strength in young people without causing any lesions.
7.As it is possible to train isolated muscle groups, is there any risk of developing a muscular imbalance?▾
No. The training planner (www.planner.bycompex.com) which takes account of muscle chains, establishes a perfectly balanced work programme. In addition, it is in fact possible using Compex to remove any existing imbalance by training specific muscle groups that are weaker. Compex helps to improve the muscle chain responsible for a movement, strengthening the weakest link!
