How does the vibration platform cause the muscles to contract automatically and intensely?
Each muscle can perceive and record the smallest change in its own length through receptors. The vertical vibrations trigger a muscular stretch which is perceived by the receptors, resulting in a reflex contraction in the specific muscle, and causing the antagonist muscle, the opposite one, to relax.
Your body reacts to the force generated by acceleration and not by additional mass. This force is far stronger than traditional stimulation caused by training, quite simply because the stimulation is repeated between 30 and 40 times. |
What are the effects of the Best Plate on osteoarthritis?
The main advantage of the Best Plate for people with osteoarthritis is that the exercises do not cause any trauma. This is not always the case for traditional muscle training exercises, especially when it comes to lifting weights. People suffering from osteoarthritis should always train on the Best Plate under medical supervision and build up the exercises slowly and gradually. An example: you could start by doing a light calf exercise for 30 seconds. Wait 24 hours and do the same exercise twice with a good rest period between each of them. |
