Whole Body Vibration Exercise Technology
The revolutionary technology of
Whole Body Vibration (WBV)is being used by professional sports teams,
universities, health care practitioners, rehabilitation clinics, fitness
centres and elite athletes in a variety of applications. Vibration
exercise training is looking to be the next big thing in fitness. A
gaggle of celebrities and models - such as Madonna, Jessica Alba,
Claudia Schiffer and Heidi Klum have been known to be users. Ever since
Madonna admitted to using it sales have skyrocketed around the globe.
It
is claimed that this technology allows you to burn fat and cellulite,
increases Human Growth Hormone, increases muscle strength, increase
metabolism, increase bone density, and improve flexibility.
Vibration Exercise technology
originated in the Soviet Space Program, which pioneered the technology
now applied in the fields of health and fitness. Russian scientists
discovered that cosmonauts that spent extended amounts of time in space
experienced significant loss in bone density and muscle tissue due to
the lack of gravity. Russian researchers were led to experiment with
Vibration Exercise technology, finding that by using this equipment
they could not only stop the loss, but amazingly increase bone density
and strengthen muscle tissue.
Using
Vibration Exercise technology the Russians were able to set a record of
more than 420 days in outer space in 1994/1995. American astronauts,
training on conventional fitness equipment, were forced to return after
just 120 days due to bone and muscle degeneration.
It
wasn’t until after the fall of the Iron Curtain, that Vibration
Exercise technology found its way to other countries. Today NASA fully
embraces Vibration Exercise technology with much success.
How Does It Work?
Vibration Platform Exercise
Therapy is a passive exercise whereby vibrations of various frequencies
travel throughout the body eliciting a contraction reaction on the
muscles. These contractions work the muscles on a cellular level, thus
burning fat more efficiently and not producing any impact on your
joints or injuring the muscles. This makes the Vibro-magic equally
suitable for elderly individuals and super athletes alike.
The workouts are quick and
simple, only 11 minutes a session. This is equivalent to 40-50 minutes
in the gym lifting weights. The Vibration Platform is a great method of
toning and strengthening your body throughout your weight loss program.
As Proven in over 30 Scientific studies, Whole Body Vibration, 
when used regularly has been shown to:
-
Decrease appearance of cellulite
-
Accelerate weight loss and reduction of body fat
-
Increase bone density, reduce muscles wasting
-
Increase muscle and tendon strength
-
Improve balance
-
Increase the production of some natural hormones
-
Increase circulation
-
Improves function and strength of pelvic floor
-
Enhance explosive strength
-
Increase flexibility, mobility, coordination, and range of motion & improve balance
-
Increase blood circulation and glucose metabolism at a cellular level
-
Improve cellular oxygen and nutrient delivery which slows the ageing process
-
Stimulates lymph drainage and oxygenation, as well as improving collagen production
-
Increase Basal Metabolic Rate (daily calorie burn)  -
Assists pain management and reduce different types of pain, eg. Lower back
-
Speed training recovery
-
Improve of muscle strength and performance
-
Reduce effects of stress, increases natural release of endorphins
-
Increase absorption of supplements
-
Reduces arterial-plaque "Arteriosclerosis"
-
Enhances conventional training results, reduces training time
Consider the facts:
Research claims that...
WEIGHT LOSS
“...the
same benefits in 15 min. as a 1 hour gym workout....And Madonna isn’t
the only one to jump on the bandwagon, purchasing the machine for home
use...Celebs such as Claudia Shiffer, Natalie Imbruglia,...and
Donatella Versace are all fans.”
Sunshine Coast Weekender Magazine
SPORT - FITNESS
“...WBV,
and the reflexive muscle contraction it provokes, has the potential to
induce strength gain in knee extensors of previously untrained females
to the same extent as resistance training at moderate intensity.”
Exercise Physiology and Biomechanics Laboratory, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium*
”Flexibility
expressed through doing leg splits improved by 14.5cm (using WBV)
compared to 4.1cm with conventional stretching… Exercise physiologists
worldwide have been shocked and thrilled by their research
results...Brisbane Lions have their own WBV machine... Manager of
Sports Science at the NSW Institute of Sport said...‘WBV has very
exciting implications for speed- power development.’ ”
The Daily Telegraph 21 October 2006 p75*
HEALTH
“Effect
of 6-month whole body vibration training on hip density, muscle
strength, and postural control in postmenopausal women...Vibration
training improved isometric and dynamic muscle strength (+15% and +
16%) respectively...and also significantly increased BMD of the hip.”
Laboratory of Motor Control, Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven, Belgium.*
“The
effects of random whole-body-vibration on motor symptoms in Parkinson's
disease....tremor and rigidity scores were improved by 25% and 24%,
respectively”
