How does a vibration plate work? The FitVibe vibration plates operate under the principle of Controlled Whole Body Vibration or cWBV. cWBV. In cWBV, 3-dimensional mechanical vibrations, with the main vector in vertical direction, are transmitted to the body through a vibration plate. With the FitVibe, the frequency of that vibration can be adjusted from 20 to as much as 60 Hz (20 – 60 movements per second). The mechanical stimulus produces a stretch reflex in the muscles. This means that the muscles react to the vibration by contracting and relaxing automatically. Although this may vary from person to person, frequencies of about 30 Hz and higher cause very intense and highly effective muscle contractions. Frequencies in the lower range are used mainly for relaxing by stimulating the blood circulation.
When shouldn’t I use a vibration plate? Anyone who is allowed to do sports can use the FitVibe. But FitVibe’s main advantage is its low threshold, which means that elderly, handicapped or rehabilitating persons can use FitVibe as well. Still there are a number of absolute and relative restrictions.
FitVibe is a low impact but highly effective training device, which means that it can be used by most people. It is good for muscles, blood circulation, the skeletal and the nervous system. In addition, it will make you feel better because of the hormonal effects. But beware, FitVibe is not a medicine! Its effects can be compared to sports. It is a device that allows you to train your body, even when your body cannot make a substantial effort. FitVibe is in fact training you! If you have a specific condition, and you wonder whether FitVibe might help, consult you physical therapist or your specialist. back to top From what age can I train on a FitVibe… and until what age? FitVibe is used by people between roughly 7 and 77 years old. The user’s position on the vibration plate is the most important factor. You have to be able to assume the correct
positions to absorb the
vibrations. This means that you
have to be able to follow the complete the exercise program, even if it is only at a low frequency. back to top
If I want a “total body work-out” can I do it in one session? Indeed you can! On the “select muscle group” screen on the display, you can select a work -out that treats your entire body. Just select the requested training level and you’re off! back to top I am already in good shape. Can I start at a higher level? We recommend that even a trained person takes it slow during the first session. Get to know the machine and the right positions and allow your body to get used to the sensation. It’s more intensive that you think. But if you’re in good shape, don’t hesitate to advance a bit faster!
How often can I train on FitVibe? There is no real limit, apart from common sense. A vibration plate is a serious machine, so use it wisely. As a guideline, using FitVibe once a week is fun, twice is maintenance, thrice is building up! back to top
Does FitVibe help against osteoporosis? Yes! Bone density depends on 4 factors: genetics, nutrition, vertical stress, and hormones.
Fitvibe increases stress on the
bones and releases key hormones.
The device therefore has osteoporosis is a disease. A BMD below 70mg/ml constitutes an absolute counter indication. back to topDoes FitVibe help against cellulite? Yes! FitVibe increases the subcutaneous micro-circulation. In addition, a person training on FitVibe will burn more body fat and improve muscle tone. The skin is in effect pulled back to make the skin look smoother.
Does FitVibe increase my flexibility, my agility? For general muscle flexibility, performing one stretch for each muscle group on FitVibe will be enough to maintain your current muscle length. Holding each position for 30 seconds up to 90 seconds is enough. For this purpose you best choose moderate frequencies.
what your
body tells you, if a position
feels uncomfortable in a joint
area, or is causing
The exercises that I do with the straps, are they effective? Obviously most exercises using the straps are harder to do. It is vital that you keep the straps tight and that you do not move during the exercise. In addition it is advised to increase FitVibe’s amplitude in order to obtain the best results.
When performing exercises on FitVibe, are there any differences compared to traditional strength training? Scientific research has shown that training on a FitVibe has similar effects as traditional power training. In fact, the positive effects come even faster. And vibration plate training certainly is more efficient. In a conventional training session, only 40% of the muscle fibers are exercised; with Controlled Whole Body Vibration or cWBV training that percentage nears the 100% mark. And it is not only the muscle tissue that reacts. Application of WBV
also has a positive effect on tendon tissue, bone tissue, the nervous system and hormonal the heart somewhat, it is advised to combine FitVibe with cardio training.
If I quit training after a number of intensive training weeks, how long will the effects last? Like in all sports, a person with a better basic fitness level will enjoy the effects of training for a longer time. As a guideline, using fitvibe once a week is beneficial, twice is maintenance, three times is ideal. So the best solution is to keep doing the vibe!
Can I replace my entire fitness program with a FitVibe program?
stamina is only gained in
combination with cardio
training. The best is to start
of with a for your cooling down exercises! back to top
