Vibration training might seem to be a new concept, but the Russian professor Nazarov had already investigated this technology back in the 1970s. As a former top gymnast, Nazarov had seen the results of vibration training close at hand. Vibration training was used by Olympic trainers in Russia who were looking for the best form of training. Russian athletes subsequently dominated the Olympic Games during that decade. Following the huge success of the Russian athletes, the Russian Space programme also initiated research, investigating vibration technology and the negative effects of weightlessness on muscles and bones (osteoporosis).
Despite Nazaro's good results, politics and language prevented recognition of the Russian's work by the West. Vibration technology was rediscovered in the West at the end of the 1980s. It was the Italian sport physiologist, Carmelo Bosco, who conducted extensive research into the vibration method. He is one of the leading scientists who studied the effects of vibration technology on the human body, particularly on the muscles, nervous system and hormones.
Whole Body Vibration is a form of training which uses reflexes. The Ultim8 Vibration Plate generates mechanical energy (vibrations) which are transferred to the body. This high frequency vibration causes a myotatic reflex or a stretch reflex in the muscle being trained. The muscles involuntarily contract. A good example of a stretch reflex is a reflex tested by the doctor when he gently taps a reflex hammer under the knee. The muscles in the upper leg involuntarily contract 100% automatically.
The Ultim8 Vibration Plate stimulates the muscle's stretch reflex. With conventional power training, only 40-45% of the muscle tissue contracts. During a workout on the Ultim8 Vibration Plate, the muscle tissues contract for 90-100%.
During the training, the muscle tissues contract at the set frequency. Each vibration causes a contraction. Due to the high number of consecutive contractions, the contraction is experienced as one long contraction.
A full work-out on the Ultim8 Vibration Plate takes 10 minutes. A 10 minute work-out on the Ultim8 Vibration Plate equals 1 hour in the gym and you burn up to 350 calories.
The Body vibrations have many other positive effects which include:-
Increased muscle strength
Improved circulation
Improved hormonal emission
Increased collagen
Improvement of basic metabolism
Improved flexibility
Increased bone density
Saves time
Improved coordination
Improved fitness
Faster muscle recovery by production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
Attacks cellulite
Lymph drainage (fluid drainage)
Fat combustion
No more adhesions
Higher pain threshold and pain relief
Improves suppleness of muscles
Improved general health
Lowering of the stress hormone cortisol
Increasing the happy hormone serotonin
Less pressure on joints, ligaments and tendons
Increase in testosterone
Strengthening of the connective tissue
Training with less effort
Improved sense of balance
Fewer varicose veins
An Ultim8 Vibration Plate Training Is a pain free trainingwith many benefits, involving little effort or sacrifice .
