	NFL® Great Jerry Rice Signs as Spokesperson for Compex® NEW BRIGHTON, Minn. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- July 14, 2003 -- Compex today announced that future football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice will serve as spokesperson for the Compex Sport USA – the first FDA approved device of its kind to be marketed over the counter directly to U.S. consumers. The 40-year-old wide receiver credits the cutting-edge device with improving the size and shape of his left quadricep muscle, which had experienced some atrophication after he underwent knee reconstruction for a knee injury in 1997 and did not completely respond to conventional exercise. Rice was so impressed with the results that he took the unusual step of approaching Compex about serving as spokesperson, rather than the other way around. "For two years after my surgery I tried every kind of exercise imaginable, but my left quad still remained smaller and weaker than my right quad," says Rice, a 13-time pro-bowl selection who played 16 seasons with the San Francisco 49ers before going to the Oakland Raiders in 2001. "Then I started using Compex Sport for 20 minutes a day, and within just a couple of weeks I noticed a huge difference. Today, my left quad is as strong as my right - and I am back on the football field ready for the coming season."

Compex today announced that future football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice will serve as spokesperson for the Compex Sport USA – the first FDA approved device of its kind to be marketed over the counter directly to U.S. consumers.

	Hermann Maier back on the Top Level of the World With his sensational victory in the World Cup Super-G race in Kitzbühel the "Herminator" reports back to the top level in an impressive way. For Hermann Maier it was "sheer madness". After the severe accident with his motor-cycle he is now back again on the skis that are so important to him. And this in such a stability which is obviously astonishing his competitors as well as himself. Especially in Kitzbühel. Especially on the notorious "Streif" he celebrated his 42nd victory in a World Cup where he was "overwhelmed" and "totally exhausted" thereafter. He owes his recovery and his comeback to his tremendous will-power, his ambition, an optimal medical treatment and last not least his training with the Compex muscle stimulators. The programmes of the Compex EMS devices (inter alia he was training with the Sport 400) helped him to regain his lost muscle strength during the enforced training break. "For many years I am using the last-generation Compex muscle stimulators for my training, and this innovative technology was never of so much value to me as in the last bitter months!" Especially in the first weeks when no strain on his leg was allowed he could build up his leg muscles in a precise and careful way – an invaluable advantage for the subsequent entry into his physical preparation and ski training. "It's not insignificantly due to my Sport 400 that I could now get qualified at the last minute for the World Championship in St. Moritz!" A statement that naturally makes the Compex management proud of having participated in this real miracle, and that encourages them in their permanent research work, continuing to provide both top level and leisure athletes with innovative muscle stimulators.
