WHOLE BODY VIBRATION/OSCILLATION TRAINING creates a fast twitch muscle response to the involuntary muscle contractions created by the vibration, and another simultaneous muscle response to the continuous instability that is being forced upon the body by the vertically shifting plane. This muscle response is called Tonic Reflex Vibration (TVR).This design allows the body to work more directly against gravity, essentially allowing you to use your own body weight to work out with, while limiting side-ways stresses to the joints. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as ‘Hyper Gravity’ or ‘Increased Gravity’. The movement exerted onto and into your body by the vertical oscillation will help to optimize muscle performance in regards to strength, power, flexibility, and tone while improving reflex strength and balance.We have coined this type of training ‘PLISOMETRICS’. The SPORT VIBE 1000 also features adjustable Isometric Tension Straps for increasing the spectrum of upper and lower body workouts; and with its ‘Whisper Quiet’ engineering you’ll barely hear it operating. With an operating range of 5 Hz. – 30 Hz. administered through 8 manual and 7 auto programs, and a 1 mm fixed amplitude, the SPORT VIBE 1000 boasts a maximum weight capacity of 990 lbs. which is unmatched by any machine of comparable in size. This huge weight capacity allows for heavy weight lifting while on the machine for ‘PLISO WEIGHTED VIBRATION TRAINING’, and the broad frequency range is perfect for training, relaxing and rehabilitating. ‘Don’t Just Compete, Destroy your Competition’ when you train, relax and rehabilitate with the SPORT VIBE 1000.
