Health Benefits of Whole Body Vibration Plate Exercise Machines RSS

”Our preliminary findings suggest that WBVT may be both a feasible and effective method for preventing weight gain among inactive undergraduate students.” Medysky et al., “WHOLE-BODY VIBRATION TRAINING TO PREVENT WEIGHT GAIN IN COLLEGE STUDENTS.” “Our study is the first to show that whole-body vibration may be just as effective as exercise at combatting some of the negative consequences of obesity and diabetes.” Newman, “Can Whole-Body Vibration Stave off Obesity and Diabetes?” “Overall, the vibration plate group lost the highest percentage of weight with an average loss of 11% of their body weight in the first six months and maintained...

“It was hypothesized that there would be a significant increase in vertical jump height following warming up on the VibePiate versus the other warm-up modalities. This hypothesis was supported in regard to the 15 and 20 minute time points. Vertical jump height was significantly higher following exposure to WBV versus the other warm up modalities with the exception of the immediate time point, at which there were no significant differences between WBV and the treadmill. This suggests that for an athlete competing in any type of sport that would require explosive vertical jumps, warming up with WBV would be most...

Varicose veins are veins that have become enlarged and twisted, commonly on the leg, but also potentially found elsewhere on the body. A valve leakage of the blood vessels cause these large, bulging, and painful varicose veins to occur. It turns out that Whole Body Vibration can not only stimulate circulation but also helps with the production of collagen, which, along with karatin, helps promote improved skin strength and elasticity. Collagen also acts as the primary component for connected tissues and strengthens blood vessels, which can in turn prevent varicose veins from occurring. How to Use Whole Body Vibration to...

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, otherwise known as TMD — and sometimes improperly called TMJ after the temporomandibular joint in the jaw that lets you move your jaw up and down and side to side — is a disorder that inflicts many people in the world today.

According to WebMD, injury to your jaw, the joint, or the muscles of your head and neck can lead to TMD. Grinding or clenching your teeth, movement of the soft cushion or disc between...

“Bosco et al. reported that acute bouts of WBV (10 one-minute bouts, 26 Hz, one-minute rest) significantly decreased cortisol concentrations compared to baseline” Chen, Zhaojing; Sharma-Ghimire, Pragya; Ye, Xin; Kim, Daeyeol; Bemben, Michael; and Bemben, Debra A. (2015) “Acute Effects of Whole-Body Vibration and Resistance Exercise on Cortisol Levels in Young Men,” International Journal of Exercise Science: Vol. 8 : Iss. 1. Available at: http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/ijes/vol8/iss1/3 “While it is vital to health for the adrenals to secret more cortisol in response to stress, it is also very important that bodily functions and cortisol levels return to normal following a stressful event....
