Winter wellness weekends in Malta is a post from: Vibrating Exercise Machines

Haarlem (NL)/ Dusseldorf (GER), 21 November – Within the framework of this year’s medical fair MEDICA, the international manufacturer of vibration machines, VibroGym® International, held a seminar among experts on “responsible training with vibration platforms in practice”.
Practitioners, physiotherapists and sports scientists swapped their knowledge with independent experts such as Prof. Dr. Klaus Baum (Cologne), Dr. Med. Gernot Felmet (Villingen-Schwenningen) and qualified sports scientist Jens Freese (Cologne).

50 participants had been invited and signed up to this exclusive private seminar on Dusseldorf’s exhibition site. In the seminar, latest study results were showcased that had been achieved from therapy for diabetics
and MS patients, whose symptoms could be considerably alleviated through training with medical certified vibration platforms. Freese presented a specific “prevention concept”, which has been developed by the German Coach Academy (German abbreviation: DTA) and for which health insurance can be accounted. Celebrity coach Arno Schmitt (Munich) showed the participants exercises adequate for three issue-areas in the field of prevention and rehabilitation: possibilities to allay symptoms MS patients suffer from, exercises that, for instance, effectively strengthen muscles after a knee operation as well as examples on how to use VibroTraining® within the scope of postnatal exercises after pregnancy.

MEDICA 2008: Responsible training practices with vibration platforms is a post from: Vibrating Exercise Machines

Cologne, 18 November 2008 – As manufacturer of the “Original Plate”, VibroGym® convinces with their high-quality products worldwide. VibroGym® is the first company to produce training machines with a vertical vibration platform, while fulfilling highest standards regarding safety and performance aspects. Having obtained the most detailed medical certification worldwide according to the EG directive 93/42/EEC, VibroGym® heralded the start of a new era for vibration platforms in 2007 and has been extending its leading position in 2008.

Manufactured in Europe, all training machines meet highest  requirements both regarding technique and design. The company VibroGym® International emerged from the Dutch company LATAM BV, which fabricated the first commercial vertical vibration platform in 1999. Inventing the original VibroGym® traces back to results obtained in Russian space programs, where sports physicians examined astronauts, who suffered from musclereduction as a result of being in the state of weightlessness. They tried to compensate this reduction by stimulating their muscles with electronic impulses, and thereby proved that
vertical vibration, used in the right frequency, has a positive effect on human fitness. On the basis of these research results, Dr. Vladimir T. Nazarov invented the “Whole Body Vibration” concept. Being one
of the most qualified biochemists and sports scientists in the world, he used to advise and counsel world and Olympic champions in gymnastics for many years. Today’s VibroTraining® has been developed to a
great extent with his guidance.

When training on a VibroGym®, vibrations are being transferred to your body, so that your body will be slightly brought out of balance in a controlled way. Your body will automatically try to rebalance, which
leads to an involuntary contraction that activates your body balance system. Training with the “original plate” therefore not only effects specific muscle groups, but the entire muscular system while optimising
the muscle’ interaction. Scientific studies prove that training results improve considerably.

“Training with VibroGym® is a natural thing. If you take a cheetah, you’ll see that he uses the principles of vibration in order to activate his metabolism and to accelerate regenerative processes. By “pre-activating” his muscles through vibration, he’s able to start running and speeding up within seconds. The VibroGym® reconstructs these natural vibrations and thereby increases the efficiency of all exercises” says Daniel Schäfer, General Manager of VibroGym® Deutschland and sports scientist.
