VIBRATING PLATE Vibrations of a certain amplitude and a suitable frequency can induce an extension of the muscle fibres. When positioned on the base plate, the natural reaction of the body is to “contract its muscles”. This “vibrating toning reflex” provokes a stretching reflex that causes a contraction of the muscle fibres, leading to a strengthening of the muscles and an increase in strength. Frequencies lying between 20 and 40 vibrations per second make training more efficient. The whole muscle system is stimulated and the blood flow is improved.

EFFECTS ON THE ORGANISM

• Increase in muscular strength and endurance

• Increase in mobility due to muscular decontraction

• Less risk of muscular injury

• Increased blood flow and irrigation
