FITNESS CATEGORY

Today there are more fitness enthusiasts than ever before, and their number is rising.
Apart from some rare individuals who have real competitive targets, the vast majority have only one aim: to restore their
body to peak physical condition or maintain it at that level. Cardio training therefore alternates with more specific exercises
to develop or maintain a good quality musculature. With this in mind, the sought-after aims may differ according to who is
doing the training: increasing muscle volume to achieve an imposing stature (body-building) or better muscle endurance to
improve physical comfort during sustained efforts. Combined with a voluntary physical activity (aerobic exercises in the fitness
facility, footing, cycling, swimming, etc.), which becomes more pleasant and therefore more effective, the programmes of the
Fitness category enable users to obtain a toned and harmonious figure.
The treatments of the Fitness category are intended to make healthy muscles work, they are not suitable for atrophied muscles that have
suffered from any kind of pathological process. For such muscles, it is necessary to use the programmes of the Rehabilitation category.
