• The stresses produced by the vibrations raise the muscle contraction about up to 30%.
• The muscular features which are stimulated by the vibrant activity cause a muscle strengthening with positive
results upon explosive strength, power, endurance and flexibility.
• In addition it stimulates the hormones production (and specifically testosterone, growth hormone LHG) and
reduction of cortisol (stress hormone), along with the natural production of serotonin and dopamine and
histamine, which, further to reduce muscle pains, cause the same soft sensation of a running or a long walk.
• Reduction of muscle tension.
• Reduction of processes of osseous porosity
• Reduction of muscle atrophy and hypotonic
• Lymphatic drainage and anti-cellulites effect (blood reaches capillaries up to fifty times per second.)
• The use of V.P. avoids hard movements and possible trauma caused by traditional physical activity.
• Slimming effect (reduction of body fat) especially matched with diet control
• V.P. produces greater benefits if combined with other exercises (natural or reproduced: cardio and strength
fitness equipments, bike, walk, running, etc.)
BENEFITS AND GOALS
THE ORIGINE OF VIBRATION PLATE
In the past the vibrations transmitted to human body by a mechanical equipment were studied exclusively only by
Industrial Medicine.
In the sixties they were used in aerospace field because appropriate to prevent and resolve problems of osseous
exfoliation of the astronauts during their more and more long voyages with no gravity.
Thanks to a great Italian scientist Carmelo Bosco, who, towards the end of last century, studying the application of
vibrations in sport activity, created a Vibration Plate, nowadays still used by NASA and several Sporting
Organizations, National and International Federations, whose vibrations could integrate the traditional methods of
training.
Consequently, even fitness could enjoys benefits of this new equipment W.B.V. (Whole Body Vibration): transmission
of vibrations to human body by a vibrant platform, determining a mechanical stimulation obtained by vertical
sinus oscillations repeated at regular intervals over time.
The V.P. produces, in amplified way, the natural vibrations impressed on walk and running to human body by the
impact of the heel on the ground.
Human Body reacts to these vibrations thanks to reflex mechanisms that cause intense muscle contractions
(automatic or by reflex) up to 100%.
