HyperVibe Performance

The fundamental principle of whole body vibration training is to create a response from the mechanical movement of a vibrating platform.  When a user places their weight on the platform, their own body weight acts as resistance to the forces caused by the vibrating platform. Once a vibration threshold is reached, this action induces a reflex which causes involuntary muscle contractions. These contractions target not only our primary muscles, but also involuntary muscles such as the pelvic floor.

Of course, HyperVibe machines are not only designed for working out, but also have numerous therapeutic uses also. At low speeds, the gentle rocking action of the platform improves your balance and stability. Rather than induce involuntary muscle reflexes, at lower speeds a user is forced to use their muscles voluntarily to counter act the rocking action of the platform. At speeds slightly higher, the soothing vibrations can be excellent for massage, circulation and injury rehabilitation.

Benefits of vibration training

Today there is both scientific and anecdotal evidence that vibration exercise can…

• Improve muscle strength and power – increase jump height, limb strength, and functional capacity
• Increase flexibility – Improves range of motion in muscles and joints giving better mobility, reducing stiffness and tightness
• Increase muscle tone – Increase muscle mass giving better definition, shape, and appearance
• Increase co-ordination – Stronger muscles use fewer fibers for the same task and therefore are easier to control
• Improve balance – Improve proprioception and core stability
• Relax muscles – The massage effect helps you to unwind, recover & relax
• Improve bone density – Muscle pulling on bone builds bone, weight-bearing exercise builds denser, stronger bones
• Increase circulation – Stretching & exercise increases blood flow to your muscles
