The basic issue:
In order to test the efficiency of COME, the perineometric electromyogram levels of 68 women were analyzed. One session consisted of a total amount of 18 phases in which the test subjects were asked to contract and then release the relevant pelvic floor musculature for 10 seconds over 65% of the previously determined individual maximum level. The average contraction and relaxation phases were used to calculate material which was charted accordingly.

Participants in the study were divided into two homogenous groups of 34 women each, so that the average tension (AT) of the pelvic floor musculature strength of both groups at the beginning of the study was essentially the same (without COME: 8.78 mVolt; with COME: 8.70 mVolt). The women in both groups were instructed to apply tension isometrically for 4 seconds and then completely relax for 8 seconds for a total amount of 30 times. In the time period of six weeks, they were supposed to begin with one training session a day, and then from the second week on until the end of the study increase the training sessions to two a day. One group was to do this using COME; the other without, using the traditional method. No exercise was to take place during menstruation.

The result:
After six weeks a perineometric control measurement was taken. Over 75% of the test subjects in both groups indicated that they mostly only did one exercise session a day of 30 contractions. The AT of the “without COME” group increased during this time period to 10.87 mVolt (23%), the AT of the “COME” group to 14.32 mVolt (64%).
