## Indications for use
The ARP POV Sport is intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The ARP POV Sport is not intended to be used in conjunction with therapy or treatment of medical diseases or medical conditions of any kind. The AR-P POV Sport is not designed for use on injured or ailing muscles and its use on such muscles is contraindicated. The POV Sport's electrical impulses allow triggering action potential on motoneurones of motornerves (excitations). These excitations of motoneurones are transmitted to the muscle fibers via the motor endplate where they generate mechanical muscle fiber responses that correspond to muscle work. Depending on the parameters of the electrical impulses (pulse frequency, duration of contraction, duration of rest, total session duration), different types of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated muscles. The various types of muscle work that the POV Sport can impose on the stimulated muscles are able to improve or facilitate muscle performance. The ARP POV Sport is considered a technique of muscle training.
