What Is Whole Body Vibration Training?
|
Whole Body Vibration Aside from its potential for muscle and bone growth, some of the research into whole-body vibration indicates successful clinical uses too. The research looks promising for helping patients with decreased bone mass or osteoporosis increase their bone density.
Problems with balance and intramuscular pain may also be improved with whole-body vibration therapy. Studies also have also indicated that Whole-body vibration therapy may have an effect on decreases body fat and regulating key hormones in our bodies.

We are constantly in pursuit of increasing physical and mental performance in the least amount of time. Often you end up spending many hours per week (if you can find these hours) to lift weights, take classes such as Zumba, etc. Then there's the recovery period, which often does not occur because you are too busy or now too sore to function properly.
Is this working? Are you exactly where you want to be physically? What if you could increase muscle, increase bone density, encourage lymphatic drainage and elevate your mood without spending countless hours that you do not have each week? Whole body vibration training is a platform that vibrates at a specific frequency to activate your hormonal, cardiovascular, lymphatic, and nervous systems simultaneously. While you can pick one up cheap on Amazon, it has been found that the most effective frequency is a constant 30 Hz. Therefore, adjustable speeds is not necessarily beneficial. What is the purpose of flashy bells and whistles if they offer no benefit? |

How does whole body vibration training work?
As you sit or stand on the vibrating platform, your muscles will contract and relax many dozens of times each second. This requires far more energy than standing on solid ground as your muscles are contracting and relaxing in order to remain upright. As a result, the results you achieve will occur far faster. When your muscles contract and relax, increased oxygen and nutrients are pushed into the tissues of your body. This assists in increased flexibility, blood flow, reduced muscle soreness and decreased stress levels (cortisol). Whole body vibration training increases both circulatory and lymphatic flow that can replace hours of walking and be far more beneficial as a result. Vibration plate sessions should never exceed 15 minutes and the practitioner you work with will be able to ensure the session is done properly. The amount of improved core function on the vibration plate can be extraordinary!!! The list of benefits of vibration plate training are scientifically backed and include: less time in the gym giving you more time to crush life, Increase your strength, decreased fat loss in less time, hormonal balance, increased lymphatic drainage, increased bone density, increased flexibility, improved digestion, increased joint stability, improved circulation, decreased pain, improved balance, elevated mood and anti-aging. Be more efficient with your time and spend less time training conventionally (and without a plan or inept trainer at the gym). Achieving a dynamic workout doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. You can achieve the results of an hour plus at the gym or in about 15-minutes on a vibration plate or ARX Fit (both found exclusively at Functionised Integrative Therapeutics). Uniquely designed vibrations work up to 95% of your muscle fibers despite your position on the plate. |

This degree of muscle engagement translates to a high-intensity workout. This means increased health and fitness in far less time.
Coach Jim Goetz personally utilizes the vibration plate at Functionised Integrative Therapeutics once per week for 15 minutes. "I have three young children and a business to run. Seeing individuals with pain and disease, coaching world class athletes and traveling and a "honey do list" a mile long, finding time for my own health much less competing in elite Spartan Races, USA Power Lifting competitions and Cross Fit competition is difficult. However, I know that it is proven utilizing the vibration plate at Functionised not only increases efficiency but takes my mind and body to levels never thought achievable. I also use this with world class athletes to improve their athletic ability as well as individuals who have no time for their health to improve all health markers". Research comparing whole body vibration training (technology) to your regular gym conventional training; the vibration plate produces higher strength levels within six weeks. It does so through its use of gravity – added acceleration in the force equation – and the reflexive muscle contraction it provokes. Whole body vibration training (technology) constantly puts your muscles under load and increases the neural demand |

Elite athletes who used vibration training in their program increased their leg press by a significant amount of average velocity, force, and power. While this is what athletes are supposed to do, through repetition without increasing intensity or changing things up, the rate of muscle growth often plateaus. The neural effect of vibration training is what made the difference and is what makes it ideal for maximizing your muscle potential. The enhanced power capacity means you may go beyond your genetic potential. If Olympic athletes use vibration training to win gold, why would you not utilize it to achieve greatness daily?
Aside from improving muscle neural potential, vibration training is extremely efficient in shrinking visceral fat and to lose weight.
A European weight loss study showed the group using vibration training lost 11% of their body weight. They were able to then maintain 10.5% of that loss. The control group who did conventional exercise only lost 7%. This is a significant different in time, efficiency and success. This weight loss effect was caused by the metabolic alterations and effects of hormone balancing.
When you do conventional exercise (running, lifting, etc), you put an excessive strain on your adrenal glands, causing increased stress and inflammation. Cortisol levels can actually spike as far as 20 hours post conventional exercise. This will decrease energy and negatively affect your recovery.
Other hormonal changes are that whole body vibration training increases free testosterone (7%) and growth hormone (460%) and a decrease in cortisol (27%) as well as the reduction of plasma glucose.
Not only does vibration training improve human performance but it is also an anti-aging tool.

It has been shown that whole body vibration training is hugely beneficial for the geriatric population. As vibration training has been shown to improve balance and muscle tone, it also improves quality of life and ability to walk and balance and improves motor capacity in the elderly.
Whole body vibration training also reduced the proliferative response of TCD4+, (T-cell depleted bone marrow). This means vibration training at Functionised Integrative Therapeutics may reverse osteoarthritis.
From elite professional and Olympic athletes exceeding their potential to the busy individual seeking better blood flow and bone density and muscle tone to the elderly wanting to improve balance and motor capacity, whole body vibration training is no longer a secret. It is essential. When you combine this with the ARX Fit, you will be far more efficient, productive and happy.
