Whole Body Vibration Training

"We have been using VibroGym at Essendon Football Club for 12 months. In that time I have observed the great results our players have achieved in increasing levels of mobility. This observation was confirmed in a joint study we conducted with Ben Hinton of Edith Cowan University, WA."

"Going forward, I believe that the VibroGym may have a role to play in preparing players for certain surgical procedures along with incorporating the machine’s use in rehabilitation and post training/competition recovery. VibroGym has certainly been a worthwhile addition to our training regimen."

John Quinn, High Performance Manager, Essendon Football Club

Vibration training has been around for many decades but until recently has received very little public attention.

Originally used by the Russian space agency to combat the effects of zero gravity on the musculoskeletal systems of its cosmonauts, whole body vibration training has now been adopted by many of the worlds top sporting teams and health care practitioners, due in part to the reduced training time needed to achieve significant benefits (20 minutes) but more importantly to the overwhelmingly positive research being compiled at leading Universities and Medical Institutions world wide.

Between 1998 and 2006 more than 15 peer reviewed research papers examining the performance enhancement potential of vibration training have been published.

Some of the researched benefits include;

• Improved metabolism (which is enhanced fat loss)
• Improved balance
• Increased flexibilty
• Reduction in stress hormones
• Reduced cellulite (up to 25%)
• Increased strength and muscular power
• Rehabilitation benefits (ACL knee Injury)
• Increased bone density
