PCT No. PCT/FR94/00571 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 14, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 14, 1995 PCT Filed May 13, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/26326 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 24, 1994A method for dynamically training a skeletal muscle (1) to be used for a biomechanical heart involves wrapping the skeletal muscle (1) around a deformable training device (2) which can contract, resistance to contraction being provided, and recover its initial form. The skeletal muscle (1) is stimulated by periodic electrical impulses. In a first stage, the skeletal muscle (1) is stimulated by electrical impulses at a frequency increasing with time, and in a second stage the contraction resistance of the deformable training device (2) is increased progressively, the first and second stages possibly overlapping slightly. A biomechanical heart operated by a skeletal muscle (1) having undergone the dynamic training is also disclosed.
