What is Whole Body Vibration?

• WBV was originally developed for the Russian
  Cosmonauts ( in the 1960s) in space so that
  their muscles and bone mass wouldn't deteriorate
  at zero gravity conditions -
• AND IT WORKED! They were able to live in space
  for twice the amount of time without suffering
  the serious health effects of weightlessness (420
  days versus 210 days!)

How does WBV actually work?

• To make it simple, WBV stimulates the bodys
  natural stretch reflex and causes muscle
  contractions in much the same way that a doctors
  tapping below a patients patella with a reflex
  hammer elicits a knee-jerk response.

4

• The stretch reflex is controlled by stretch
  receptors called muscle spindles that are located
  in skeletal muscle. Muscle spindles are usually
  activated when a muscle is under a static stretch
  or is quickly stretched or overstretched, causing
  a reflex contraction of the muscle.
• With WBV, this reflex action is continually
  stimulated, so a muscle continues to contract and
  relax until the vibration stops. In addition,
  studies have reported that activation of one
  muscle spindle will cause a reflex contraction
  and relaxation in many adjacent muscles.

5

• The human body is designed to absorb forces in a
  vertical direction.
• Shearing or horizontal forces are not as absorbed
  and often result in injury to muscles, ligaments
  and joint capsules.

Most sporting, work and motor vehicles related
injuries are due to large horizontal forces on an
area of the body that breaks the threshold of
the structure that is being stressed (bone,
ligament, tendon).

Benefits of WBV

• Vibration training is a new, convenient, easy to
  use, powerful valuable way of successfully
  combating the effects of aging, weight gain,
  degeneration and toxicity on our body.

7
A wide range of benefits

• Health
• Wellness
• Fitness
• Beauty
• Anti-Aging

8
Health

• Increases Human Growth Hormone (HGH)
• Reduces Lower Back Pain
• Reduces Strain on Joints, Ligaments, and Tendons
• Increased circulation of blood improvement of
  cardiovascular system
• Increased lymph drainage detoxification of
  systems
• Speeds recovery from surgery or trauma
• Positive effects on PD and MS symptoms
• Fights Osteoporosis

9
Wellness

• Increases and Oxygenates Blood Flow in All
  Skeletal Tissues (up to 150) dermal tissues
• Increases "FEEL GOOD" Hormones (Endorphin,
  Serotonin, Neurotrophin)
• Reduces Stress and Effects of Stress
• Reduces Arthritic Pain
• Increases Energy

10
Beauty

• Increases Collagen (Smoother Skin)
• Radiant skin (improved blood circulation)
• Helps Reduce Cellulite promotes smoother skin
  (Flatten out Adipose Globules)
• Tightens Facial Muscles
• Accelerates Weight Loss
• Localized Fat Burning
• Lymph Drainage
• Leaner Muscles (accelerate metabolism rate)
• Reduce Varicose Veins

11
Fitness

• WBV recruits 100 of muscular fibers whereas a
  traditional workout only uses about 40
• Increases Muscle White Fiber (Explosiveness)
• Increases physical strength, dexterity and
  endurance
• Decreases Recovery Time
• Improves flexibility
• Removes Lactic Acid from Muscles
• Accelerates Weight Loss

12
Anti-Aging

• Increases Range of Motion
• Improves balance and coordination
• Fights the effect of Osteoporosis (loss of muscle
  and Bone density)
• Relieves post-menopausal symptoms

13
Training on a WBV platform

• WBV training in conjunction with conventional
  muscle exercise can increase maximum muscle
  strength by over 30 and reduce the period of
  training required by 85 and time spent
  exercising by over 50.
• Unlike conventional muscle training methods
  involving lifting of weights, little additional
  load is imposed on joints, ligaments, and tendons
  in WBV exercise, and consequently the risk of
  exercise-induced injury is reduced to a
  negligible level.

14
Examples of exercises to perform on a WBV platform
Shoulders
Calves
Pec Triceps
Biceps
Quadriceps
Gluteï
15
CONTRAINDICATIONS

• Include serious cardiovascular conditions,
  pacemakers, pregnancy, recent surgery, epilepsy,
  severe diabetes, acute hernia or the presence of
  metal implants that may loosen. Also patients
  with discopathy, spondylolysis, recent
  infections, active tumors, painful herniated
  disks and recently placed IUDs metal pins or
  plates should avoid WBV therapy.

16
Scientifically proven effects

• Positive effects of WBV have been demonstrated in
  many scientific studies carried by independent
  laboratories, universities and scientists.

17
WBV Bone Density

• A study carried on 70 women (aged 58-74) has
  demonstrated that training 3 times a week on the
  WBV platform for 24 weeks significantly improved
  bone density, meaning rejuvenating bones!

18
Hormonal concentration after 10 min wbv

• Both Testosterone and Growth Hormone (HGH)
  production increases. They stimulate protein
  synthesis and help build up muscle tissue. They
  also play a part in elevating the bloods oxygen
  transportation capacity. People will be able to
  train longer in a comfort zone!!
• Growth hormone has a direct effect on virtually
  all the cells in the body.Major effects include
  controlling the bones growth and growth of softer
  tissues like muscles, stimulating lipolysis in
  fat cells, causing a reduction in body fat
  levels.
• High production of HGH also leads to more rapid
  healing of fatigued or injured cells and allows
  faster recovery.
• Stress hormone, Cortisol, is also lowered
  significantly, resulting in the user feeling good
  and relaxed after a session on the DKN platform.

19
WBV and maximal strength

• This graph shows the gain in maximal strength
  attained by professional and casual athletes
  after training 2/3 times a week for a period of 6
  weeks on a Whole body vibration platform.
  Strength is considerably improved after the
  vibration training for the 6 exercises tested
  the results are even higher for the professional
