Specific applications
Preparing the thighs prior to a week
skiing for a sedentary person
S easonal physical activity, such as skiing,
even if practised as a leisure activity, will
subject the organism of sedentary subjects
to unusual stresses. The thigh muscles
(quadriceps) are the muscles that are most
used, and these play an essential role in
protecting the knee joints. It is for this
reason that the pleasure of the first few
days' skiing is frequently spoilt by severe
muscle sores, and even knee trauma,
which can sometimes be serious.
The Compex Muscle starter
building programs offer ideal muscular
preparation for the thigh muscles. You
can then go skiing without fear of over-
doing things, with enhanced pleasure and
safety.

Fitness
Shaping and developing the shoulders for
an active person
M ost voluntary physical activities, such as
jogging or cycling, do not make intensive
use of the shoulder muscles. That is why
it is particularly beneficial to offset this
under-utilisation by combining Compex
sessions with your voluntary training
program. The
imposes a very large quantity of work
specifically on muscles of the upper body,
bringing about an increase in volume and
harmonious development of the shoulders.
As opposed to voluntary exercises carried
and Muscle
out with heavy weights, that are liable to
damage joints and tendons, stimulation
with the Compex causes few, if any, strains
to joints and tendons.
