What is Vibration Training?
Vibration training has been around since the 1960s. The actual technical term that physiologists use to explain cyclical vibrations that are used to better the state of human joints by improving their flexibility relatively fast is Rhythmic Neuromuscular Stimulation, or RNS. The technology to provide RNS was developed by scientists who were working on prevention of constantly increasing osteoporosis problems. RNS was a great success when first employed to train astronauts. Those who received the training managed to stay out in space up to 4 times as long as those who havent. Results obtained from astronaut training made this technology well-known worldwide. In space it was used to help overcome the effect of micro-gravity, and on the ground it was adapted to help train higher level athletes.
