How Power Vibe Whole Body Vibration (WBV) Technology Works
The Power Vibe vibration plates operate under the principle of controlled Whole Body Vibration or WBV. In WBV, mechanical vibrations in a vertical direction are transmitted to the body through a vibration plate. With Power Vibe, the frequency of that vibration can be adjusted from 20 Hz to as much as 50 Hz (20 - 50 movements per second). The mechanical stimulus produces a stretch reflex in 100% of the muscles.
This means that the muscles react to the vibration by contracting and relaxing automatically (like when your doctor hits your patella (knee) with a little hammer).
Although this may vary from person to person, frequencies of about 30 Hz and higher cause very intense and highly effective yet comfortable muscle contractions. Frequencies in the lower range are used mainly for relaxing by stimulating the blood circulation.
Power Vibe combines quality and user-friendliness and features with sound training advice per muscle group, thanks to the built-in Personal Coach. No more waiting for your fitness instructor, no more desperately scanning an exercise poster! The personal Coach allows you to choose from a selected range of training sessions per muscle group. The easy-to-use interface guides you through the program, with all exercises clearly visible on the display. Set your own goals and achieve them in a fun and safe way!
