What Are the Benefits of a Vibration Plate?
A vibration plate is a stationary machine which consists of a platform on which the exerciser sits or stands to perform un-weighted strength or flexibility moves. The theory behind the plate is that the vibrations of the machine cause your muscles to contract reflexively. You control the intensity of the vibrations by choosing the number of vibrations per second—the frequency—and the depth of the vibration—the amplitude. Whole body vibration training offers numerous benefits, especially when used as a complement to other fitness efforts.
