6.1.2 Reinforcement – P2
The Empi Phoenix Reinforcement program imposes a high and instantaneous power working level on muscle fibers. These
contractions are separated by long periods of rest. The result is an average medium power working level (+ 20 minutes). This
program is intended to increase the maximum strength of muscle isometric contraction. This program targets the muscle
fibers that are typically afflicted with immediate atrophy after injury or/and surgery.
P2 begins with a two-minute Warm-Up phase, which will count down on the screen.
The Warm-Up phase will cause your muscles to twitch but not contract. Set the device intensity to a comfortable level during
Warm-Up. Once the Work phase begins, the intensity will automatically decrease by half. You can then adjust the intensity to
provide a comfortable but strong muscle contraction. The program finishes with a Cool-Down phase similar to the Warm-Up
phase.
