F.C. Como Women and Compex together to innovate players' athletic training

Como, 1st April 2025 - Training professional athletes demands an increasingly personalised approach that takes into account the physiological and biomechanical specificities of the female body. For this reason, the sports club F.C. Como Women has chosen Compex as a technology partner.

Modern women's football requires increasingly high athletic standards due to the rise in matches and greater playing intensity: "From a muscular point of view, it's essential to have good general strength to prevent injuries and explosive strength in the lower limbs to enhance performance," emphasised Mario Familari, Head of Performance Department at F.C. Como Women – "and in this context, using Compex technology provides strategic support to optimise the physical preparation of the athletes." In the field of sport-applied electrostimulation, Compex has been the brand that practitioners turn to for over 30 years when integrating into athletes' training plans. "Choosing Compex was natural: it has long been considered the benchmark in the field of electrostimulators - added Familari – and I have personally been using Compex devices since 1997."

Electrostimulation offers numerous benefits for female footballers. Dr. Sara Bonizzato, medical officer of the club, highlights that "Regular and targeted use of electrostimulators helps to compensate for potential muscular imbalances, improve post-match recovery and prevent biomechanical gesture-related injuries." Specifically for women's sport, specific indications have emerged from field experience: "Women, compared to men, are more prone to anterior cruciate ligament injuries: electrostimulation can be a fundamental support in strengthening knee stabiliser muscles and improving joint stability."

Within the scope of the partnership, the F.C. Como Women team have access to a range of high-performing Compex devices to support the players both in athletic preparation and recovery. The players utilise the SP 4.0 electrostimulator, an essential tool for post-match recovery, also used during the journey back from matches to facilitate muscle relaxation. Moreover, the SP 8.0 WOD Edition version will enable even more specific athletic preparation thanks to Muscle Intelligence technology, capable of adapting stimulation to the muscular needs of the individual athlete. The equipment also includes the Fixx Mini with ergonomic extensions, Ion, and Molecule, ideal devices for mobility sessions and pre-match warm-ups.

"Our mission is to support athletes of every level with cutting-edge technologies for physical preparation, recovery, and injury prevention - stated Marco Ravasio, Sales and Marketing Manager at Compex – and we are proud to collaborate with F.C. Como Women and to provide innovative tools that can make a difference in their performance and well-being."

A partnership that marks a significant step forward in the athletic training of F.C. Como Women players, providing them with innovative tools to face the competitive season with confidence and competitiveness.
