How Vibration Plates Works

The popularity of vibration training can be explained by its simplicity. Vibration training takes exercises which are both familiar and uncomplicated and dramatically increases the results that they can deliver through the application of rapid vibrations.

The benefits of performing common exercises such as press-ups, sit-ups or squats are therefore increased simply by performing them on a JTX Fitness Vibration Plate rather than on the floor. It is the simplicity and ease with which these machines improve results and reduce training times that explains their incredible popularity.

Vibration training enables users to lose weight and tone up without the need to increase the loads suffered by joints and muscles through the application of additional weight. By removing the need for extra weight vibration training reduces negative impacts on the body. It is therefore described as a low impact method of training which is ideal for people of all ages and abilities.

In order to successfully lose weight, improve strength, core stability or power it is necessary to apply either mass or acceleration to the body. Most exercise training techniques apply additional mass to the body while exercising. The mass is supplied in the form of weights and it is for this reasons that gyms are dominated by weight training machines and free weights.

JTX Fitness vibration plates apply acceleration to the body in the form of rapid vibrations which occur up to 45 times per second. The body's response to these vibrations is to involuntarily contract the muscles in an attempt to re-stabilise itself and it is this response which generates the many benefits described below.

The benefits of vibration training have been promoted by both fitness professionals and medical academics. The results which can be achieved have been verified through extensive independent research by the academic community and the positive experiences seen by fitness trainers and professionals.

JTX Fitness vibration plates help users lose weight, decrease cellulite, tone and increase muscles strength and flexibility, improve their circulation and bone mineral density and reduce their recovery time from injury and pain.

It is perhaps not surprising then that vibration training has become the new "buzz word" of the health and fitness sector.
