What is vibration training?
Vibration training is a holistic training method based on something called Vibrating plates is performed and with the help of high-frequency mechanical vibrations, the muscles either relax or stimulate. In the context of Russian aerospace research, vibration training against muscle and bone loss during prolonged stays in weightlessness was tested with good success. Has been for about 20 years Whole body vibration training used with increasing frequency in various areas such as physical and sports therapy, rehabilitation and competitive sports.
What for vibration training?
Motor skills, such as strength, speed, and coordination balance are of great importance for general physical fitness in order to be able to cope with everyday and professional stresses.
Vibration training is an optimal supplementary training to other sport-specific forms of training to improve strength, speed, coordination and balance to build up. Vibration training can be used in rehabilitation in popular sports as well as in competitive sports. It has been used to improve performance and to support healing success Sports injuries proven. With the help of vibration training, athletes can get back on track faster after an injury and return to their original form of performance sooner.
In the context of rehabilitation, vibration training is mainly used for pain relief, for Strength building, used to treat symptoms of paralysis and to relax muscle tension.
The Vibration training is particularly suitable for people who have very little time available for physical activity in their everyday life.
Endurance-oriented sports that improve general fitness, cardiovascular risks (e.g. Heart attack) and extend the lifetime.
In our society with an increased age structure, vibration training is becoming increasingly important.
In old age there are components of movement such as:
- skill
- force
- flexibility
- Responsiveness
and - balance
more important than that Endurance. Consequently, the athletic focus of older people should be in particular on endurance performance in addition to training Improvement of muscle performance lie. An intact muscle performance in seniors offers the prerequisite for long-term independence, a reduction in the risk of falling and good protection against the need for care. Therefore, in exercise therapy, think about which forms of training can best improve the muscle performance of seniors. Vibration training offers a component of physical activity in old age in order to achieve muscle strength as well as coordination, muscle relaxation and improved balance.
