THE THEORY

Whole body vibration theory was originated from the concept of human body movement under earth gravity.

The movement of individual organs of human body is always influenced by earth's gravity. Earth gravity works in vertical directions. Therefore it is natural and more effective for the human body to exercise in a vertical direction. Running vertically causes all the body organs such as brain, chest, abdomen and muscles to contract and relax repeatedly.

Up and down vertical movements stimulate the growth plates, improve blood vessel circulation, activate lymph system and help eliminate cellulite. Vertical movements also cause the muscle fibers to contract and relax repeatedly enhancing muscle strength.

Because of easiness in operation, the Evolution™ can be used by anyone regardless of age or sex. In particular, athletes, overweight people who experience difficulty exercising over extended periods of time, office workers with inadequate levels of physical activity, people who cannot find the time to exercise, and patients requiring rehabilitative therapy stand to benefit most from this novel comprehensive exercise system.

The Evolution™ is designed and produced for personal and commercial use, such as; for homes, spas, gyms, health clubs, health practitioners, physical therapist, assisted living and senior centers,

The Evolution™ is reliable, safe, easy to use, portable and affordable.

The Evolution™ uses a range of low and high frequencies already proven to create positive results. The Evolution™ delivers low impact vertical vibrations through a flat platform, gently into your body. The Evolution™ provides users a maximum 1G of resistance. This amount of resistance is considered low-magnitude, safe and beneficial in an exercise and therapeutic environment.

It is important to realize that whole body vibration is not the machine. Whole body vibration is a technology that, when applied in a controlled product, like the Evolution™, can have a beneficial impact on our bodies.

Whole body vibration is the influence of speed/frequency/Hertz delivered into muscles, causing them to involuntarily contract and expand. This rapid cellular movement increases the resistance against the next and then the next, contraction and expansion. This increase in resistance is measured in magnitude/amplitude/force of gravity.

For example, when the machine is set at 8 Hertz, your muscles are contracting and expanding 8 times a second, pushing against up to 1G of gravity. This could be thought of as taking steps 3 at a time or lifting 1/3 of your body weight... 3 times a second. This is enough resistance to build and tone muscle and to increase bone density and protect bone health.

Amazingly, whole body vibration exercise simultaneously increases muscle flexibility, is low-impact on joints and it feels good.

THE HISTORY OF WHOLE BODY VIBRATION

Whole body vibration (WBV) technology was developed and refined by the Russian and American space programs to meet the exercise needs of astronauts. Living in zero gravity gives bones and muscles the message that they are not needed. They have nothing to push against. The result is a loss of muscle mass and bone density during space flights. Space researchers created various exercise contraptions attempting to imitate gravity, and found that whole body vibration technology does mimic gravity. Low frequency vibrations with low magnitude force provide enough gravity resistance to protect and build muscle and bone strength.

Space scientists shared their results with medical scientists, and research began anew to explore other successful applications of whole body vibration technology. Medical whole body vibration machines appeared in hospitals and rehabilitation gyms. Clinical studies revealed shorter recovery times for joint and muscle injuries. Whole body vibration simultaneously toned muscle and improved flexibility.

Women with osteoporosis, using whole body vibration machines for exercise, built muscle strength and bone faster than with traditional weight-bearing exercise. Researchers also found whole body vibration programs easier to stay with than conventional exercise regimes. These and other results are presented in this Web site. . . and they are clinically proven.

The scientists who did the early research made their own vibrating platforms. They researched the safety and usefulness of different vibration speeds. Scientists established a range of vibrations per second, or Hertz, that safely produces healthy results.

Prototype medical-use whole body vibration machines were built, and scientists investigated the effect of safe, low-speed vibration on conditions such as ankle and knee joint injuries. Today, using vibration therapy, scientists are documenting positive changes in bone density, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, emphysema, stroke recovery and varicose veins.

Whole body vibration wellness machines attracted the attention of sports medicine professionals. The focus of study on whole body vibration exercise expanded into athletic performance. Athletes training with whole body vibration became stronger with more balance, speed, and endurance, and experienced swifter recovery from fatigue. Commercial public-use machines appeared in gyms and training centers. Global manufacturers entered the consumer market, educating people around the world about the advantages of low-frequency, low-magnitude whole body vibration resistance exercise.
