What makes your machine superior to comparable models?
The key indications when comparing models is the size and weight of the vibration plate. Cheaper inferior models generally have a smaller plate and motors, Build, quality and reliability are also questionable with inferior products.
Can Vibration Training help to stimulate bone strength and help prevent Osteoporosis?
Research has indicated that bone strength has increased after using Vibration Training and this might be a useful therapeutic way of preventing osteoporosis.
Are there any benefits if I am already fit?
Yes, Whole Body Vibration exercise stimulates resistance training due to the combination of speed and rapid muscle movement increasing the force of gravity your body is pushing against. Bone mass can also be both maintained and repaired serving to strengthen the human frame no matter the users fitness level.
Do you need to assemble the machines?
The machines are shipped with protective packaging. The parts connect simply and in a matter of minutes. Screws, tools and instructions are included and you can also contact us by telephone if necessary.
Where can the machines be installed?
The machine is heavy and we recommend installing it on a solid floor or on a rubber pad near to an electrical power point.
What is the Warranty period?
The machines are sold with a 5 year full replacement warranty.
Are there any age limits for vibration training?
So long as there is trained supervision, children as young as 14 can do vibration training as young people can also benefit from vibration training. As for the other end of the scale, we have had people up to 75 years old training easily with enormous benefits to conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Due to the nature of the machine, the elderly can activate their muscles in a simple, safe way without extra strain on the joints and ligaments.
Will vibration training cause me to lose weight?
Yes. This was validated in a study presented in May 2009 at the European Congress on Obesity. This study can be read at our Research page. The principle of energy balance is such that the calories consumed during a day would have to be less than those expended to start a reduction in fat stores. Vibration training has a large influence on many of the processes involved with losing weight though so you will most likely lose fat stores while training this way. This will however depend on how fit you already are - the more fatty tissue you have in the body, the more you will lose. Training on the our machines has been shown to increase metabolism, which means you will burn more calories while exercising and the hormones produced with vibration training also have a significant influence on reducing fatty tissue. However, as with any training modality you will have to control your calorie intake to see any changes. It is important to note that the reduction in fat stores will not necessarily be reflected with a loss of body weight. The increases in bone density obtained with vibration training may cause an increase in weight. Furthermore as muscle tissue is heavier than fatty tissue, the increases in muscle stores that occurs with Vibration training will also cause you to put weight on, although your body tone will visibly improve.
Will I sweat during the vibration training workout?
Any exercise or physical effort performed to cause a training effect will cause an increase in body temperature and metabolism. So if you normally sweat whilst working out you will sweat during your vibration training workout.
How long will the vibration training effects last after I stop using it?
Due to the principle of reversibility, the effects of vibration training would diminish with time, if you were to stop doing it. This is the same with any type of training. If any muscle tissue in the body is not being used, the body will begin to break it down. The rate of this decline is dependent on many other factors though and is greatly individual.
Are there any side effects from vibration training?
Some people complain of headaches after training. If this is the case, providing you have been training correctly, then your headaches will be caused by lack of fluid intake before training. Almost 70% of the population is suffering from dehydration and as our bodies consist of over 50% water, fluid balance is vital. Vibration training causes activation of the lymphatic system, which results in a loss of body fluids so we advise to drink about 500ml of a glucose drink, half an hour before training.
Are there any long-term effects of vibration training?
In the many years of research into vibration training conducted so far, no negative effects have been found with use of Whole Body Vibration trainers, when used according to our advice and instructions. Just ensure that the machine is used safely and responsibly and you consult a medical professional if you have any of the contra-indications.
My doctor/specialist has never heard of the Whole Body Vibration Exercise, what should I do?
Vibration training and its applications are becoming more widely known internationally. This is not only in the health and beauty world but also in the medical sector.
Can vibrations be harmful?
The human body is perfectly built to absorb the vibrations that we may encounter in everyday life. However, in the increasingly mechanical world we live in, certain occupations (helicopter pilots, truck drivers, pneumatic drilling) cause workers to absorb high levels of vibrations on a daily basis. This has been shown to elicit many physical complaints, mainly in the spine and joints. The Massagers however have many fundamental differences to these cases. While exercising on the machine the muscles are actively absorbing the vibrations, not the joints and whereas the population above are exposed to the vibrations for many hours every day, the training time on the whole body vibration platform is far shorter. (Whole Body Vibration training usually is not done for more than 20 minutes a day, because the research indicates that no further benefits are obtained beyond that.)
If I have arthritis, can I do vibration training?
By doing vibration training regularly it is possible to increase flexibility, muscle strength and co-ordination. Persons with serious complaints who are taking anti-inflammatory and pain killing medication should begin sessions 2 to 3 days apart and gradually build to sessions every other day. They should also gradually increase their intensity. Remember, if taking anti-inflammatory drugs and sedatives for arthritic conditions in conjunction with vibration, the medications may suppress the natural warning signals of over-taxation that the body gives off.
Any form of exercise that avoids excessive strain on the afflicted joints is recommendable. However, you should pay attention to certain aspects, such as not overextending the joints, and preventing sudden, unexpected shocks and strain. Because of the nature of the exercises performed on the vibrating platforms of the this has proved to be an extremely suitable form of training.
WBV training can lead to the reduction of complaints, as well as to a decrease in the amount of needed painkillers. Whole body vibration “wakes up” the cartilage to maintain its function. Cartilage is a like a sponge squeezed dry under pressure, and like a double action pump then fills itself with synovial fluid. In this way the cartilage is provided with necessary nutrients. Muscles, ligature and tendons have an important function in absorbing shocks and in providing stability in the joint, and they are trained by exercising on the Vibrations machines as well.
Can varicose veins be prevented or treated by vibration training?
Blood from the lower limbs is pumped back to the heart using valves in the blood vessels, which stops the blood returning to the lower extremities. Varicose veins are caused when these valves leak. As vibration training causes a huge increase in circulation it can improve the return of blood from the lower limbs if used on a regular basis, especially when performing exercises dynamically. It should be noted that we advise you to massage around varicose veins manually before doing massage exercises.
I have diabetes. Will vibration training be helpful?
Yes,. Studies have found that fasting glucose concentrations remain unchanged after whole body vibration training. The findings indicate that vibration exercise is an effective and relatively fast tool to enhance glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients.
I have heard that regeneration hormones are produced with vibration training. Can these be harmful?
There is no harmful effect of the regeneration hormones produced at all. Regeneration hormones are produced by the body to help recovery after exercise. They are increased after any type of exertion but not high enough to negatively effect the natural production. In fact, there is a huge benefit to be had from the higher levels of the hormone as they allow our body to repair more easily and more quickly. That means that the Whole Body Vibration Massager can cause a large training effect without causing the need for a large recovery time.
Is it normal for my legs to itch during and after training?
Itching is due to the large increase in circulation caused while training. This is completely normal. However, in rare cases erythemia may occur which is a severe reddening of the skin - usually on the legs. It is normally just a temporary phenomenon but if it persists we advise against continuing with your vibration training.
It is recommended to drink 500ml of a glucose drink half an hour before training. Why?
Many people do not drink enough water on a daily basis, which can cause temporary headaches when training intensively. Also, vibration training causes the blood glucose level to drop rapidly and as we are in a nation with bad eating habits, blood glucose levels are often low before exercise begins. If levels were to drop too much, it may lead to hypoglycaemia. This is why it is strongly advised to drink a glucose drink before training. It should be noted though that this is the case with any type of intensive training - not just an occurrence related to vibration training.
Why do the vibration training programmes begin with so few exercises and only increase the intensity gradually?
The high intensity of stimulus provided by machine causes huge adaptations in the early stages of vibration training, and only a few exercises are needed to do this. However, as the body adapts to a stimulus it begins to cope with the training without difficulty, which means you will have to train longer and harder to produce similar results. This is why you add more exercises and increase the intensities after using the machine for some time, so your body is constantly challenged to adapt.
Are there specific exercises for the stomach, thighs, buttocks and lower back?
Many of our vibration training exercises are ideal for working the above areas. These are illustrated in the manual.
What are the massage exercises used for?
The massage enhances circulation considerably, which can be seen by the slight redness on the skin and felt by a tingly, warm sensation. This in turn increases lymphatic drainage and reinforces collagen, which together with the increases Human Growth Hormone production, contributes significantly to combating cellulite. You can use the massage exercises as part of your warm-up programme prior to a workout to warm up your muscles and you can use massage after your workout to help remove training's waste products. |
