I can’t think of day that has gone past without someone calling me to ask if the vibration training really works.

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) has gained popularity over the last few years especially under the trade name of Power Plate, as it is sometimes referred to.

Originally developed more than 40 years ago, the Vibration Training system has recently come into its own and has found a place in commercial health clubs, personal training studios, Spas and private homes.

The technology trains both the nervous system and the muscles by stimulating an “automatic stretch reflex” in the muscles. It therefore trains the nervous system as well as the muscles.

How does Power Plate work?

In ordinary exercise movements such as free weights, multi gyms and home gym exercises, one is able to contract approximately 50% of the associated muscle fibres. It is thought that the Vibration Machines can stimulate more than 90% of the muscles fibres. This makes it very effective for posture, balance and core stabilisers.

Numerous studies have shown statistically significant benefits in using the WBV system both alone and to augment existing training programs.

Some advantages and benefits of the WBV system are:

  1. Improved balance
  2. Improve joint stability
  3. Alleviation of symptoms of diabetes
  4. Strength increase in athletes as well as previous sedentary people.
  5. Improvement in cardio vascular fitness.
  6. Increased flexibility
  7. Assistance in the symptomatic treatment of fibromyalgia.
  8. Delaying some of the systems associated with osteoporosis
  9. Improvement of circulation, especially in stroke patients and people suffering from motor neuron difficulties.
  10. Increase in Human Growth Hormone and Testosterone and reduction in Cortisol. (European Journal of Applied Physiology: 2000).

 

Is Power Plate better than normal Gym Equipment and Treadmills?

When we talk about gym equipment we are normally referring to multi gyms, free weights, commercial gym equipment and gym machines.

When we talk about cardio equipment we are normally referring to treadmills, exercise bikes, steppers, rowing machines and elliptical trainers.

In my experience and the experience of many other exercise professionals the reality is that cross training or training with a number of different types of modalities is best.

Use the Power Plate as an add on or supplementary exercise if you are able to perform other exercises. If for some reason, (due to illness or injury) you cant exercise in a conventional way then the Power Plate certainly offers many benefits of regular exercise.

Don’t spend more than you should on quality gym equipment.  Do you feel that you need to see more information?
