Scientific Support
So many articles and researches have been published about Vibration Platforms and its effects on the human body we could fill in hundreds of websites publishing them.
As a matter of fact, a simple Google search brings over 266,000 results. We have compiled the most interesting and applicable results below (these are extracts of hundreds of researches performed by the most respected and trusted Scientific organizations in the world):
- On Muscle Activity, Strength and Power
"The result of this study was that an increased jump height can be recorded immediately after the vibration treatment compared to the sham (no vibration) treatment. Although not significant, subjects' peak force, jump height and peak power decreased less after vibration compared to sham immediately, 5 minutes and 15 minutes post treatment. This means that subjects performed at a higher level after the vibration treatment".
"Vibration training increased postural stability and proprioceptive function...."
".....study with older people suggest that whole body vibration does not affect bone resorption but lead to an increase in bone formation"
- Effects of vibration training on cellulite
"In the most important parameter (the degree of cellulite) an average reduction of 25,68 percent was achieved in the Vibration Training grou. Reviewing the results of this research we consider Vibration Training an effective method to clearly diminish the degree of severity of cellulite without any negative side effects."
- A Unique Training Tool For Anti-Aging
"The positive impact of WBV on mobility in older individuals has been demonstrated in a number of studies. They reported significant increases in a timed up-and-go test, and in the balance score of the Tinetti gait test. Whole Body Vibration can positively affect mobility, balance and proprioception, thereby improving quality of life and reducing the risk of injury in older persons"
"Bone mineral density: Reductions in bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women and very old men increase the likelihood of serious injury and death following a fall. Vibration training provides a unique stimulus for increasing BMD..."
WBV is an effective training tool to increase strength, power, mobility, balance, bone density and sarcopenic obesity. Additionally, there are strong finding in younger individuals indicating that flexibility, cardiovascular health and metabolic syndrome may also be improved"
