What is Electrical Muscle Stimulation?
http://www.med-fit.co.uk
What is it?
A Compex is a neuromuscular electrical stimulator. As the name suggests, it is involved with stimulating nerves and skeletal muscle. The Compex stimulates only motor neurons. These neurons innervate or will stimulate skeletal muscle fibers. What you will notice is the contraction of the muscle.

How does it work?
Pads are placed on the skin at each end of the skeletal muscle to be stimulated. There are four channels with lead wires. Each wire is connected to two pads. Very small amounts of current runs from one pad to the next and completes a circuit using the muscle tissue as a conduit. Call free on 0800 121 4626
What can it do?
A Compex comes pre-programmed to deliver three types of programs: warm up, strength building, and recovery programs. Here is what the various programs are designed to do: Pre-warm up: Increases blood flow to the muscle increasing the temperature of the muscle. All the reactions associated with a muscular contraction will occur at a faster rate. The muscle will more easily change shape.
How To Use A Electrical Muscle Stimulation To Build Power and VO2max
Increasing VO2max (the maximum amount of oxygen one’s muscles can use when exercising intensely) is best improved when not just training aerobically. The higher an athlete’s VO2max, the greater the potential to maintain a fast pace for long periods of time.
