What is Vibration Training?

Vibration training has been around since the 1960’s. The actual technical term that physiologists use to explain “cyclical vibrations� that are used to better the state of human joints by improving their flexibility relatively fast is Rhythmic Neuromuscular Stimulation, or RNS.

The technology to provide RNS was developed by scientists who were working on prevention of constantly increasing osteoporosis problems. RNS was a great success when first employed to train astronauts. Those who received the training managed to stay out in space up to 4 times as long as those who haven’t. Results obtained from astronaut training made this technology well-known worldwide. In space it was used to help overcome the effect of micro-gravity, and on the ground it was adapted to help train higher level athletes.

Muscle Strengthening

What helps one move is the formation of our bones. The system responsible for all our muscles is the central nervous system. Vibration provides pulses which make every one of your muscles respond in a certain way to a selected frequency.

Say you choose the setting of the vibration plate that pulses at 40Hz. This means that your muscles will be forced to contract about 40 times in each second, or, in other words, 2400 times each minute! These incredibly fast movements allow your body to spend enormous amounts of heat and energy.
We all know that burning energy helps with weight loss. This fitness program also helps to increase your muscle strength and provide a clear definition for your muscles, as well as improve your overall athletic capabilities.

Increased Blood Circulation and Improves Flexibility

When muscles are trained through vibration exercise, they do not only get stronger, but also improve their flexibility and increase their mobility.

When you use vibration exercises, the muscle tissues in your body warm up and thus increase circulation of blood. This ensures that the muscles get more flexible. When your muscles receive highly oxygenated blood, the time one requires to stretch to obtain a certain level of flexibility is drastically decreased.

Having a high level of oxygen in your blood is beneficial in more than one way. It also helps detoxify your body in a very efficient way. All the negative substances that accumulate in your body and cause it to ache are more easily removed. In terms of flexibility, it means that the pain will occur at a later time when stretching, helping achieve much better results.

Boost Hormonal Profile

Our brain is constantly at work, recording and storing electrical impulses that reflect the information obtained through our daily experiences.

When we exercise, the brain receives a message, telling it to provide us with a higher level of hormones. When your brain produces a higher amount of hormones, your muscles, tired from exercise, get restored and strengthened once you stop the workout and let your body relax.

Training through vibration exercise makes your brain boost the hormone level in your body by intensifying the signals that are obtained by the central nervous system. .
