NEMS 8/9 • Fast strength - upper limbs and trunk (8), lower limbs (9).
This program is designed to increase speed in fast athletes and develop it in athletes lacking the
quality. Program duration: 24 minutes.
The exercise assumes a fast pace and the contraction is short, as is the recovery. It is usually best to
complete a three-week basic strength cycle of increasing intensity before using this program. Then
continue with three weeks of fast strength three times a week at high intensity, almost past endurance
during the contraction.
NEMS 10/11 • Explosive strength - upper limbs and trunk (10), lower limbs (11).
Explosive strength programs increase the explosive power and speed of the muscle mass, with
extremely short, strengthening contractions and very long active recovery times to allow the muscle to
regain strength. Program duration: 24 minutes. It is usually best to complete a three-week basic
strength cycle (fitness 6/7) before using this program. Then continue with three weeks of explosive
strength twice a week. During the contraction, the intensity must be the highest that can be endured in
order to obtain maximum muscle exertion whilst involving the greatest number of fibres.
NEMS 12 • Deep capillarization.
This program significantly increases arterial flow in the area treated. Prolonged use of this program
develops the intramuscular capillary network of fast-twitch fibres. The effect obtained is an increase
in the capacity of fast-twitch fibres to withstand strain over extended periods of time.
For an athlete with good resistance, the capillarization program is very useful for recovery after
intense aerobic work, before anaerobic work and when training is not possible (due to bad weather or
an injury). Program duration: 30 minutes. Recommended stimulation intensity: medium. Position of
electrodes: see photos 01 to 20 in the manual of positions in relation to the area that you wish to
stimulate.
NEMS 13 • Muscle recovery.
Can be used for all sports, after competitions or the most demanding training sessions, in particular
after long and intense exertion. To be used immediately after exertion. Helps drainage and winding
down, improving muscle oxygenation and helping to discharge synthetic substances produced during
exertion. Program duration: 25 minutes. Stimulation intensity: medium-low, increased during the last 5
minutes.
Position of electrodes: see photos 01 to 20 in the manual of positions in relation to the area that you
wish to stimulate.
NEMS 14 • Agonist / Antagonist.
The electronic stimulator produces contractions alternated between 2 channels: during the first 4
minutes of warm-up the 2 channels work simultaneously, during the central work phase (15 minutes)
muscle contractions are alternated between Channel 1 (agonist muscles) and Channel 2 (antagonist
muscles). The program is designed to restore muscle tone to the quadriceps and its antagonist the leg
biceps, or the biceps brachii and the triceps. The work aims at developing strength. With this
program, muscle relaxation is obtained by simultaneous stimulation from both channels during the
last 5 minutes. Program duration: 24 minutes.
Stimulation intensity during the contraction: enough to produce good muscle contraction + voluntary
contraction to reduce the sense of discomfort and reach higher intensities. Intensity must be increased
gradually treatment by treatment, without overstraining the muscles. Suspend training for a few days
in the event of fatigue and proceed with the “Fitness 19” program.
NEMS 15/16 • 15/16 • Sequential tonic contractions - upper limbs and trunk (15), lower limbs
(16).
This program increases microcirculation within and around the muscle fibres treated creating
rhythmic contractions, fostering better drainage and toning. It can also be applied to older people to
