Vibratory Platforms


The vibratory platforms are a sport material which can be seen in many fitness centres. They are used with different goals like improving fitness, performance and a state of a disease. Regarding with its use, it is necessary to know the mechanism what works. This is simple, the platform vibrates thanks of the waves sent by the software. Also, these waves are produced with a frequency, which can be shaped for increasing or decreasing the intensity of the exercise.
This type of material has a wide range of characteristics:
  • Be not much expensive
  • Difficult transport
  • Made with materials like plastic, rubber, aluminium and iron
  • Some of them has a support which you can stay balanced
  • Use them for different body’s parts

Like ergometers you can buy them on shops and online. Besides, you have a wide range of these with cheaper and more expensive prices. Nevertheless, their prices many times are in relation with their power or frequencies, which they can offer. So, if you want one of them you have to know what use is going to give. Next, you have different URLs of various vibratory platforms.

























Regarding with their use, the most studied phenomenon is in relation with physical activity and health. It has been demonstrated that the use of vibratory platforms is useful for improving the state of people with osteoporosis. Besides, postmenopausal women can avoid the loss of muscular strength with this type of exercise. Now, you can see different videos about how use the vibratory platform.
