A new scientific study presented at the European Congress on Obesity, found that overweight or obese people who regularly used vibrating equipment with a calorie restricted diet were much more successful at long term weight-loss and losing the fat around their abdomen compared to those who combined dieting with a more conventional fitness routine.
"These machines are increasingly found in gyms across the industrialized world and have gathered a devoted following in many places, but there has not been any studies proving that they help people lose weight. Our study, the first to investigate the effects of vibration in obese people, indicates it's a very promising approach. It looks like these machines could be a useful addition to a weight control package," said the study's leader, Dirk Vissers, a physiotherapist at the Artesis University College and the University of Antwerp in Belgium.
The researchers divided the study group into four groups.
DIET GROUP: One group was prescribed an individually calculated calorie restricted diet. Dietician visits were scheduled every 2 weeks for the first 90 days and every 30 days for the second 90 days. The dieters were instructed not to undertake any exercise for the duration of the 6 month........

Introduction
In traditional strength and power training the load on the muscles is determined by the weight lifted. A specific frequency and amplitude of vibration is chosen and the movement of the plate loads the limbs. The vibrations stimulate a reflex contraction within the muscle which leads to a high level of muscle activation and exertion. The superior muscle-activation that the Vibration Machine stimulates compared to conventional training, means that less time is required to work muscle groups completely.
A piece of gym equipment that works you out sounds pretty great, especially after a long working day. And though Whole-Body Vibration Exercise machines may come close to fulfilling the ideal of effortless exercise it does take a little work. Resembling a cross between a doctor’s scale and a stair climber, the equipment is essentially a vibrating platform. When you stand on the vibrating plate your muscles react to the movement, contracting and releasing as they would during a regular exercise routine.
Instead of you moving, the platform moves for you. The body reacts (muscles contract and release) up to 30 times per second. That accelerated movement means you get the benefits of a 60-minute workout in just ten minutes. Typically you stand on the machine for 10 minutes, 3 to 5 times a week. That’s the industry standard because that’s all you need. Those who are looking to sculpt and strengthen often perform a sequence of strength training exercises (squats, pushups, lunges, etc) while standing on the.......

Welcome to our community that focuses on Vibration Exercise Fitness news, information, education, comparisons,research and videos.
Vibration exercise training accelerates the bodys natural healing response, increases cellular oxygen circulation, enhances cellular nutrient intake, stimulates cellular fluid movement and increases cellular waste removal. The resulting benefits are that the new cells are more resilient, vibrant, and function together more cohesively as a healthier, longer lasting body. Vibration Training fitness technology is safe for most adults of all ages and fitness levels.
