For 20 years now, Kilian Jornet has been using the Compex electrostimulators, a choice he made in 2006 during his recovery from a knee injury. Since then, this technology has become a stable part of the athlete’s routine, accompanying him in different phases of his preparation: from post-training recovery to muscle activation before competitions, and even strength training.
Today Compex officially announces its partnership with Kilian Jornet on the occasion of the launch of Ultimate, the new generation of electrostimulators from the brand.
“The first time I used Compex was a long time ago. I had suffered an injury in 2006 and even then I used a Compex muscle electrostimulator for recovery. From that moment on, I continued to use it in different situations: during rehabilitation, after training, before competitions, and more recently, even in strength training.”
It is precisely this continuous use that makes the partnership between Compex and Kilian particularly significant: not a collaboration built on paper, but the natural evolution of a relationship born from an independent choice that has accompanied the athlete’s 20-year career.
For Kilian, electrostimulation represents a support within a performance vision that integrates training, recovery, nutrition, sleep, and listening to the body. “With Compex muscle electrostimulation, what I find particularly interesting is the possibility of improving neuromuscular capacity and muscle functionality in faster times.”
With the new Ultimate range, Compex takes this experience to a further level, through lighter, more intuitive devices that can be customized via an app, designed to adapt to the daily needs of athletes and active individuals.
“The new Ultimate is lighter. You can take it anywhere. It is more adaptable to your needs and much easier to use”, says Kilian, emphasizing the possibility of integrating the technology into different phases of preparation, even while traveling or during strength training.
The new integrated function in Strava allows the user to receive, directly from the new app connected to Ultimate, the most suitable recovery program for the activity performed. At the same time, it allows for a simple and effective integration of Compex into the training routine, supporting the achievement of personal goals. The partnership thus summarizes a shared vision of performance: a journey of consistency, curiosity, and progression, where each phase — from training to recovery — contributes to building the next performance.
With Ultimate, Compex continues to develop solutions designed to accompany athletes on their journey, season after season. Kilian, closely followed by a team of Italian and Swiss professionals, will further develop Ultimate and provide important updates through his daily use.
