HOW IT WORKS?
The Platform produces a vibration through which energy is transferred from the platform to the body. By standing on the Platform you will notice how your body automatically adjusts to the vibrations. This mechanical stimulus produces a stretch reflex which, depending on the selected frequency, results in muscles vigorously contracting 25 to 50 times per second.
Exercise causes the body to tire; rest allows the body to recover. By repeating this process, the body adjusts to the level of effort, resulting in an increase in physical performance. This phenomenon, called super-compensation, similarly occurs when training on the Platform. However, compared with traditional training methods, greater results are achieved and hormonal production is increased in much less time.
Each set is performed no longer than 30, 45, or 60 seconds in length, and training sessions on the Platform need to be performed no more than 3 to 4 times per week with each session lasting about 10 minutes of actual time on the Platform.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
This list of contraindications is not absolute. If one of the conditions listed below applies to you we strongly advise that you consult with your physician before using the WBV:
• Pregnancy
• Acute thrombosis
• Serious cardiovascular disease
• Pacemaker
• Recent wounds from an operation or surgery
• Hip and knee implants
• Acute hernia, discopathy, spondylolysis
• Severe diabetes
• Epilepsy
• Recent infections
• Severe migraine
• Tumors
• Recently placed IUD's, metal pins, or plates
Research is still being conducted on the effects of vibration on certain medical conditions. This list may soon be reduced. Practical experience indicates that there are a number of cases where it is beneficial to integrate Whole body vibration training into ones treatment. This should always be done under the supervision of a doctor, physician or trained professional.
