Research & Benefits

Vibration Training has been proven to do many things.

  • Improve strength, balance and flexibility in untrained women
  • Decrease cellulite + Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
  • Improve strength, balance and flexibility in geriatrics
  • Increase bone density
  • Increase Basal Metabolic Rate

Please read the studies below on our platform (when it was called the Powerplate) that show all the positive benefits the VibroGym can induce:

Muscle Activity, Strenght and Power

The use of whole-body vibration as a warm-up procedure should be considered for coaches, and for strength and conditioning coaches in particular.'

Prue Cormie, Russell S. Deane, N. Travis Triplett, And Jeffrey M. Mcbride

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

The VibroGym can help reduce DOMS

The role of vibratory massage on treating delayed onset muscle soreness

Pietzsch FJG. University of Brighton (2004)

'The findings within this study suggest that vibratory massage may also be a useful rehabilitation intervention for those individuals who suffer from delayed onset muscle soreness. This would have implications upon employment of masseurs and open a debate to determine their necessity. In turn this may make the role of masseurs redundant and reduce on-going rehabilitation costs.'

Geriatrics

The VibroGym can help improve strength, balance and flexibility in geriatrics in 6 weeks\

The feasibility of whole body vibration in institutionalised elderly persons and its influence on muscle performance, balance and mobility: a randomised controlled trial

Bautmans I., Van H ees E., Lemper J., Mets T. (2005)

'We can conclude that 6 weeks static WBV exercises are feasible in elderly with limited functional dependency, and might be beneficial for balance and mobility.'

Bone Density

The VibroGym can increase bone density in 6 months

Effect of 6-month whole body vibration training on hip density, muscle strength, and postural control in postmenopausal women: A randomised controlled pilot study

Verschueren SMP., Roelants M., Delecluse C., Swimmen S., Vanderschueren D., Boonen S. (2004)

'In healthy postmenopausal women, a 24-week whole body vibration program is feasible and able to modify muscle strength, balance, and hip bone density which are well-recognized risk factors for hip fracture.'

EMG Activity

The VibroGym stimulates more muscle fibres than traditional training

Whole-body-vibration-induced increase in leg muscle activity during different squat exercises

Roelants M., Verschueren SMP., Delacluse C., Levin O., Stijnen V.

'This study gave a better insight in the responsiveness of the neuromuscular system during WBV. This information will help professionals involved in the health, fitness, and therapeutic sectors to determine the potential of WBV programs in revalidation and training.'

Basal Metabolic Rate

The VibroGym can increase BMR with little exercise and massage in 6 weeks

Metabolic Study (2003)

The difference which really jumped out in the out comes was the vibration group experienced an 18% increase in resting metabolism while the control group showed a 2% decline.

Strength

The Vibrogym increases leg strength in young women

Whole-body-vibration-induced increase in leg muscle activity during different squat exercises

Roelants M., Verschueren SMP., Delecluse C., Levin O., Stijnen V. (2006)

‘WBV and the reflexive muscle contraction it provokes, has the potential to induce strength gain in knee extensors of previously untrained females to the same extent as resistance training at moderate intensity. It was clearly shown that strength increases after WBV training are not attributable to a placebo effect.’

The Vibrogym increases leg strength in older women

Strength increase after whole-body vibration compared with resistance training

Delecluse C., Roelants M., Verschueren SMP. (2003)

'In conclusion, muscle strength and speed of movement of knee extensors and counter-movement jump performance increased significantly in older women after 24 weeks of WBV training.'

The Vibrogym increases leg strength with weights for soccer players

Electromyographic reponce during whole-body-vibrations of different frequencies with progressive external loads

Moras G., Tous J., Munoz CJ., Padulles JM., Vallejo L.

In conclusion, WBV at 30 H z transmitted through a vibration platform in half squat position without any additional load significantly increased the normalised EMGrms activity of all muscle portions studied compared with the nonvibrating condition of the same position.

Cellulite

The VibroGym decreased cellulite in 24 weeks by 25%

Fighting cellulite

Sanaderm Health Clinic - Germany (2004)

Rehabilitation

Recovering from an ACL injury

Power-Plate stimulates recovery after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture.

J.D. Bastian, W. Franz

Research shows using the VibroGym expedites recovery of muscle performance after ACL rupture. Combination with conventional physiotherapy, exercises on the VibroGym lead to improved muscular power, enhanced proprioceptive abilities and stabilization of the art. genus. As a result, this special kind of therapy can be used for stabilizing joints and preventing additional trauma. VibroGym therapy is significant for anyone wanting to recover as quickly as possible from this kind of surgery in order to get back to normal daily activities such as work and sports.

Health

Exercise and FibroMyalgia

Ohio State - Fibromyalgia.pdf

Michael Danko, BS, Vu Le, BS, Carol Todd, & Dr. George Waylonis, MD

Patients who completed the program showed more improvements than those who did not. In a post-program survey, ten of the twelve patients who completed the program showed interest in continuinsuch a program, even if it means paying for the machine usage. the most noticeable improvements made by the completed group were:included decreased pain in the last 48 hours (particularly after the training sessions), decreased number of workdays missed in the last seven days, increased days felt good decreased anxiousness and depression.
