What Is It?
In Whole Body Vibration, mechanical vibrations
are transmitted to the body through a vibration plate. With the
fitvibe® the frequency of that vibration can be adjusted from
20 to as much as 60 Hz (20 - 60 vibrations per second). The mechanical
stimulus produces a stretch reflex of muscles which depends on
the set frequency and which causes involuntary muscle contractions.
This means that the muscles react to the vibration by contracting
and relaxing automatically. With frequencies of 30 Hz and higher,
the tensing of the muscles is very intense and highly effective.
With lower frequencies, there is an optimal relaxation effect
of muscles.
In a conventional training session, only 40% of the muscle fibers
are exercised; with Whole Body Vibration training that percentage
reaches the 100% mark. And it's not only the muscle tissue that
reacts. Application of Whole Body Vibration also has a positive
effect on tendon tissue, bone tissue, the nervous system and hormonal
balances.
