What makes whole body vibration exercise different from conventional training?
Whole Body Vibration has the competitive advantage over conventional training due to its ability to provide a more effective and efficient exercise without the constraints associated with regular training, such as joint stress, lengthy repetitions and time commitments. Research has shown similar strength gains to conventional resistance training at a fraction of the time. Fifteen minutes of Vibration exercise produces similar results to 1 hour in conventional training. In addition, there is less stress on the joints, ligaments and tendons with Vibration training when compared to regular resistance training. Therefore, Whole Body Vibration provides an effective solution to those that may benefit from weight training, but are unable to engage in 5. What is the science behind this type of exercise? The science behind Vibration exercise follows several different principles: The Stretch Reflex: The movement of the vibration plate with an amplitude of 4 mm simulates the body’s natural ‘stret
