Bio-mechanical parameters include amplitude, frequency, magnitude and duration. Such stimulus safely and effectively replicates exercise of musculoskeletal structures. Research on WBV began in the 1960’s to enhance the performance of Soviet athletes and studies continued in Israel. Through the years, research continued throughout the world, including Italy, Germany and the USA. Although whole body vibration technology has been around for decades, it is only in the past few years that the technology has become available for medical, sports science and aesthetic purposes, rather than just for astronauts and professional athletes. Whole body vibration training (WBVT) has been shown to produce obvious, metabolic responses similar to other forms of exercise. Studies seem to indicate that WBVT may represent a mild form of exercise for the cardiovascular system. This is very beneficial for elderly people when other solutions are not possible. Cardiovascular risk for this exercise with the elderly was considered “negligible.” Other reported benefits include reduced lower back pain and significantly less chronic pain. It is, therefore, a viable alternative for those who cannot run or lift weights. Conditions treated in Europe with WBV include: Strength and power training for athletes Ligamentous knee injuries and repairs Acute back problems Osteoporosis Neuromuscular disorders Obesity (via hormonal effects) PVD/Diabetes (to improve circulation) Incontinence (via muscle strengthening) Postural stability WBVT has been shown to deeply enhance strength, performance and power capabilities, even in well-trained individuals. Other long term benefits of WBV include increased muscular growth, increased testosterone, improved bone density and strength, motor control, balance, relief of chronic pain and increased blood circulation. TurboSonic Trainers are a viable alternative for the sedentary, injured or elderly, as no effort is involved and there is no complicated technique to master. Certain individuals seem to benefit even more from WBVT. For example, unilateral, chronic stroke patients are shown to improve postural stability and heart transplant patients can use WBVT with no adverse effects. WBVT is also a non-pharmacological intervention for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis. When used properly in the prevention and treatment of medical conditions and rehabilitation, “WBV can be used as an effective exercise intervention for reducing the actions of the ageing processes of skeletal muscles.” A.
