During the 1980s, in the midst of the ongoing electronic revolution, Compex focused on satisfying the requirements of the medical and scientifi c communities. The resulting close ties developed over time have allowed Compex’s innovative technology to be combined with an increasingly deeper knowledge of physiology. The result was the creation of electrostimulation, offering effectiveness, comfort and safety.

Today, electrotherapy is an integral part of rehabilitation protocols, recognized by both the medical world and the world of sports.

How does it work?The principle of electrostimulation is very simple: it reproduces precisely the processes that occur when our brain orders our muscles

to contract. When we decide to contract a muscle, our brain sends a signal in the form of an electric current that travels at high speed along the nerve fi bres. Once it has reached its destination, the signal excites the motor nerve which transmits the information to the area immediately around the muscle and triggers the muscle contraction.

With electrostimulation, excitation occurs directly on the motor nerve using electrical pulses that are perfectly adapted to guarantee effectiveness, safety and comfort of use. In fact, muscles cannot tell the difference between a voluntary contraction (triggered by the brain) and an electrically induced contraction: the work carried out is exactly the same. It’s natural!

The fi elds of application are vast and little knownDid you know that with electrostimulation you can:• Ease lower back pain• Alleviate neck pain• Recover faster and better after exertion• Improve stamina and endurance• Gain strength and speed• Work on continuity • Increase your muscle volume• Improve blood circulation• Prevent ankle sprains• Strengthen your abdominal muscles

Using electricity to trigger a mechanical muscle response by stimulating the nervous system is a simple principle that has stood the test of time. Over the years, the effects have been improved by increasing the accuracy in controlling this electric current. Compex® has played a major part in this development.

And all this:• Without osteotendinous strain on the joints• Without mental fatigue• Without cardiac stress

What makes us different: comfort, effi ciency and safety!Compex stimulators differ in the types of programmes they offer, their accessories, their functions, etc. but they all meet the same comfort, effi ciency and safety requirements.

Why?To ensure effective muscular work, it is important to stimulate a maximum number of muscle fi bres. Using a higher stimulation level means a greater number of muscle fi bres will be working. And by providing a comfortable stimulation process, the user will fi nd it easier to increase the stimulation levels, thereby increasing the number of muscle fi bres working. Consequently, the results are enhanced.

How?The key is in controlling the current. Our stimulators are equipped with a constant current generator. This device generates a fully controlled electrical pulse, regardless of the specifi c features and variations in the tissues’ electrical resistance (skin or hair for example). This biphasic current eliminates any risk of burning and allows the device to be used safely in proximity to osteosynthesis equipment or any other metal implants.

As is often the case whenever a technological innovation spreads to a wide-ranging market, the real possibilities offered by electrostimulation are sometimes diverted... Remember that electrostimulation is to be used as a complement to physical exercise, and under no circumstances does it replace it.

The thorough approach and scientifi c diligence that rule all stages of the Compex product development process give this leading brand unchallenged supremacy in the fi eld.

HOW I TRAINED FOR “MY” NEW YORK MARATHON

Paul is 38. He’s been running for 10 years. However, the New York Marathon was still on his target list. Paul explains how he prepared for this legendary event.

The biggest marathon in the world requires serious training!“The New York Marathon is a mythical event. I'd already run 9

marathons and 2 “Marathons des Sables” (Sand Marathons), but whenever anyone said, “What about New York?” I had to say “Not

yet”... So I decided to do it with my running club. If you want to take part on your own it’s really diffi cult and you end up being part of a lottery because there are so many people wanting to do it. Two million spectators lining the route and over 315 million television viewers across the world! That is frankly impressive.

My aim was to do it in 3 hours. I developed my own training schedule over 9 weeks. During the fi rst two weeks, I mostly worked on my speed in track sessions, fi ve days a week doing interval training: 800m at full speed followed by 400m jogging. Ten times in a row! One of these 5 sessions lasted over 3 hours to prepare my body for that famous marathon “wall”.

I used two devices as support: a heart rate monitor to check my heart rate and my Compex with its “recovery” function, which I used after each major run. I also used my stimulator on other occasions: when I felt a weakness in my ankle, I didn’t want to take any risks, and so replaced one training session with an hour of muscle training using my Compex.

Over the next four weeks, I worked on endurance with longer, slower track sessions. During this phase, I also made myself do a cross-country run of over 3 hours, completed by a Capillarization programme, still with the aim of getting me through the legendary “wall”. This precaution proved to be worthwhile because on D-day the weak spell only lasted 4 or 5 minutes and then my body took over and took off again!

And then there’s sleep. You need a lot of sleep, but after intensive training late in the day, it’s not easy to drift off. As I was working at the same time,

SPORT

I didn’t have much choice. The most diffi cult thing is to plan everything so that you’re in top shape on D-day.

Coming back to my “self-designed” training, the last three weeks I simply jogged three or four times a week to maintain my fi tness. I felt good and often wanted to “cut loose”, but the most important thing in this pre-race phase is to be revitalized, to regain your strength… It’s almost like resting.

This was when I most appreciated the Oxygenation and Massage functions of my Compex. I felt as light as a feather! I also used it regularly, fi ve times a week, to strengthen my muscles without getting tired. And that’s great!

At last, the big day arrived. A beautiful autumn sun shone on the Verrazano Bridge where the

race starts. And after the traditional American National Anthem, the starting gun was fi red at 10.10 am. There were about 40,000 of us ready for the dash! Coming out of Brooklyn and in Central Park, it was absolutely crazy. Never since have I experienced such an atmosphere.A short run through the Bronx, where I had a bit of a weak spell before we headed back into Manhattan. And then, the last few kilometres in Central Park to the applause of an amazing crowd... I fi nished in 3 hours 12 minutes.

But the most important preparation for a marathon is in your head! For fi ve months I had been putting stickers of the New York Marathon in my bathroom, my offi ce, my car and even over my bed! I thought about it all the time. I can tell you that when you become totally absorbed in an upcoming race, you get there, even if it’s hard.”

TOM “The weather is irrelevant, I just need to go out and ride. And every year, when March comes, I start riding and building up the miles. To me, it has truly become a passion, and I defi nitely ride to release the stress and relax. It is vital for my balance. Naturally, among friends, we set goals, time each outing, compete with each other and try to improve our overall performance! I’ve realized that my COMPEX PERFORMANCE helps me make regular progress. I’ve used it mostly to gain in power so I can tackle slopes faster. Personally, I’ve chosen the mi-SENSOR option, which makes working sessions easier and more effective. But the best of all is that after each outing I can enjoy a recovery session: essential if I want to be in shape for the next ride. That’s how I’ve managed to improve and at the same time fulfi ll my passion!”

ELSA “It all started with a bet and now I run 2 to 3 times a week. The truth is, if you don’t practice regularly, you can’t really imagine how addicted you can become to sports. To help me go from occasional jogger to a more regular and advanced runner, I decided to use electrostimulation. The COMPEX ENERGY was exactly what I needed. It gives me that extra little bit of motivation, to help me go further, to help me prepare better and recover faster, to make my running session a pleasurable experience and not a painful one!”

“For professional cyclists, quick recovery and avoiding injuries are crucial! That’s why my fellow mates from the

Columbia HTC team and I use our Compex daily.

Speeding up the recovery phase allows me to be in top form, both for the next training session or the next race.

Obviously, stage races are extremely demanding, that’s why proper recovery is the key to success – that’s

what makes the difference. After an intensive day of racing or after harsh training, my Compex helps me get back in shape

in no time, whether I’m on the move or in my hotel room.

My Compex helps me recover faster and helps me train more ef� ciently!”

EMMA “I’d love to exercise more and on a more regular basis, but I don’t seem to fi nd the time to do it! New Year’s resolutions don’t always last, and then, the effects of my lack of physical activity show up in the cruellest way, namely, on my abs and dress size. So, as a complement to the fi tness course I am taking, I’ve chosen to work with the COMPEX FIT: it’s the simplest solution I’ve found to maintain my fi gure and be in shape. I love it: I can take it anywhere; I turn it on and immediately have access to the goal I am working on. Right now, I am at session 7 of 18 of the “Tone your arm muscles” programme. The pace is given by the stimulator, just like a coach – 3 times a week – it’s really motivating, and I feel certain of what I am doing.”

“IF YOU RESPECT YOUR BODY, YOU GAIN SELF RESPECT”My job is fairly intense and doesn’t leave me enough time for exercise! When you spend 1 or 2 days a week sitting in meetings with your legs crossed, your circulation really starts to suffer.

My COMPEX VITALITY eases that feeling of heaviness in the legs and also acts as a preventive device. It’s so easy to use and precise. I generally do a 15 minute session twice a week, choosing a vascular programme (to alleviate discomfort in the legs, or using the lymphatic drainage option). These sessions really do me a world of good!
