HISTORY, BENEFITS & APPLICATIONS
Whole body vibration was developed by the Russian space program to meet the exercise needs of
their Cosmonauts. The Cosmonauts were experiencing a zero gravity environment in space and their
muscles and bone deteriorated when they were used much less. Researchers found that Whole Body
Vibration technology, exerted forces on the cosmonauts many times that of gravity, and was used to
rehabilitate their muscle and bone density.
Medical scientists and researchers then began to explore other successful applications of whole body
vibration technology. Whole Body Vibration machines began to appear in hospitals and various
medical clinics. Clinical studies revealed shorter recovery times for joint and muscle injuries, and
other studies found whole body vibration improved flexibility and stability.
Whole Body Vibration has also expanded into the fitness industry. Athletes training with whole body
vibration have documented an increase in strength, balance, speed, and endurance, and
experienced swifter recovery from fatigue.
Today there is both scientific and anecdotal evidence that vibration
exercise
can…
Improve muscle strength and power
Increase joint motion
Increase muscle tone & muscle mass
Increase flexibility & co-ordination
Improve circulation
(exercise increases blood flow)
Strengthen pelvic floor muscles and improve pelvic floor function
Improve balance & decrease risk of falling
Improve core stability
A
ccelerate weight loss
(in conjunction with a healthy diet and lifestyle)
Increase tendon strength
I
mproved bone density (via muscle pulling on bone)
Increased jump height ability
