The complicated explained
Vibration Plate – How it Works
The idea behind vibration plates is to hold a position/ balance on the vibrating plate. This helps to recruit muscles to stabilise the body to help improve balance, and also muscle tone. It also helps to increase blood flow, as the muscles act in a ‘pumping’ action, therefore helping to get rid of unwanted substances in the muscles and helping to ease symptoms such as cellulite and also aid a faster recovery period from injuries.
Vibration Plate – Frequency The frequency of the vibration plate as discussed in ‘The Basics’ section, is how fast the vibration plate vibrates. Ideally choose a vibration plate between 20Hz to 50Hz, and those new to vibration plates should use the lower frequency to start off with.
Vibration Plate – Amplitude Again, as discussed in ‘The Basics’ section, amplitude is the distance the platform moves from its highest and lowest points. For orbital vibration plates a distance between 1mm to 4mm is advised. For see-saw vibration plates anything from 8mm to 12mm is suitable.
Vibration Plate – Plate Dimension The dimension of the platform plate is dependent on your budget but also size. A larger platform plate size is going to allow you to perform more exercises on the vibration plate allowing you to optimise your workout routine to the max.
