Body Cult Vibration Plate

These Body Cult Vibration Plates are vibration devices designed to increase the effectiveness of a workout. It is comprised of a large plate that the exerciser stands on, a tower, and a handle. When turned on, the plate vibrates, which sends waves of energy through the body.
The device capitalizes on the bodya s natural response to vibration. By simply adding vibration to the workout, the muscles contract an extra 25 to 50 times per second, making the workout much more effective. In fact, simply standing in an active pose, such as with the knees bent, while the Vibration Plate is on increase calorie burn tremendously.
The Body Cult vibration plate uses a dual motion pivoting system. This dual motion system encompasses an up and down pivoting system and a secondary front and back pivot that causes the platform to move in a multi-dimensional sequence. The vibration platea s multi-dimensional movement increases the already strong benefits associated with Whole Body Vibration in terms of balance improvement and stabilization.

Whole Body Vibration Background
Vibration technology was developed in the 1960a s for Russian cosmonauts trying to prevent muscle atrophy and loss of bone density in space. Use of the technology spread to elite sports training, physical rehabilitation, and more recently general exercise.
Whole Body Vibration causes muscles to activate without the brain being actively involved in the muscle contraction.
