VIBRATION TRAINING AT A GLANCE
Advantages of vibration training
Calm and high-frequency vibrations and oscillations, combined with a range
of exercises, stimulate the muscular tissue and reduce fat accumulation. In
addition, the elasticity of the muscles will be increased, the body shaped and
the general well-being positively influenced.
Possible contraindications
Your practitioner and the Physiotherapist Berlin point out that the training
on the vibration plate is not suitable when the following diagnoses have been
made:
•
Acute thrombosis
•
Cardiac and brain pacemakers
•
High degree of osteoporosis
•
Untreated hypertension
•
Severe diabetes
•
Pregnancy
FREQUENCY RANGES AND
TRAINING EFFECTS
Low frequencies (approx. 1 - 12 Hz)
Low frequencies between 5 and 12 Hz are used for the mobilisation. At low
frequencies, the movement of the training platform is not fast enough to cause
stretch reflexes. Due to the intended compensation of the rocking movement,
low frequencies are therefore particularly used for the mobilisation and are
expressed by a clearly increased movement of the hip.
Positive effects:
•
Relaxation of muscles, „cool-down".
•
Improvement of proprioception / balance
•
Agility
•
Equilibrium training
