Proform PF WELLNESS Vibration Board. The History of Whole Body Vibration: During the 1970's the Russian space programme developed the technology to aid the recovery of their cosmonauts. Thanks to Vibration Technology, the Russian astronauts were in space for 420 days compared with the Americans who were in space for only 120 days. Also known as ""biomechanical stimulation"" (BMS), the Whole Body Vibration helped astronauts to avoid both muscular wasting and osteoporosis. One decade later the international sports science community began to take a closer interest in this training intervention. Nowadays ""Vibration"" stands for the biggest revolution the fitness market has ever had. How Does the Proform PF Wellness Vibration Board Work? The Body Plate is a machine for training and for therapy with the neuromusculoskeletal system. It is composed of a compensator that creates multi dimension oscillations. This process causes anaerobic contractions that correspond to the normal reaction of a human being's body, walking or running. During the training, the muscles relax and contract at the same frequency as the platform. A workout of just 10 minutes effects the same results as one hour traditional training, with 30 - 50 hertz (Hz) per seconds. At 30Hz the muscles contract and relax 900 times during a 30 second session - no other product on the market is able to offer this! You can perform static or dynamic movements including standing, sitting, kneeling, lying and placing your hands on the platform. Almost any exercise can be done on the vibration platform, from a typical gym workout to passively sitting on a chair and resting your feet. What are the benefits?
