Countless research studies have consistently demonstrated the great benefits achieved from using Whole Body Vibration equipment, and more continue research further proving these benefits continue to be published regularly.

Whole Body Vibration equipment enables users to train the various skeletal muscles and trigger other body reactions. The effects are beneficial for use in sports, fitness, aesthetics, rehabilitation, health prolongation and medical therapies, just to name a few. 

Several hundred peer-reviewed papers have been published on the positive effects of WBV, and the number of research studies conducted and published is constantly increasing as the industry and technology develop further.  

Effects described in these studies include: 

• muscle strength and toning

• cellulite reduction

• improved bone density

• heightened secretion of hormones associated with exercise (Seratonin & HGH)

• depressed response of hormones associated with stress (Cortisol)

• weight loss

• detoxification and lymph movement

• improved neuromuscular response

• greater balance & stability, and

• heightened quality of life 

In order to have any effect on the body over the long term, it is vital that the body systems experience fatigue or some sort of light stress. As in other forms of training, when the body is overloaded repeatedly and regularly, the principle of supercompensation applies. This principle is the cause of the body adapting and responding to loading, resulting in a performance increase.  This effect has been proven several times in scientific research for both young and elderly subjects.

From research into the structural effects of vibration stimulus it can be deduced that the increases in strength resulting from WBV can definitely be compared to the results attained through conventional methods of training. Although, there are indications that better results may be achieved with WBV, especially in the area of explosive power, fast twitch reflex, and high repetition stamina.

Another important difference between conventional training methods and WBV is that there is only a minimum of loading. No additional weights are necessary, which ensures that there is very little loading to passive structures such as bones, ligaments and joints. That is why WBV is highly suited to people that are difficult to train due to old age, illness, disorders, weight or injury. On the other hand, it is also highly suitable for professional athletes and other physically active individuals who want to stimulate and strengthen their muscles without overloading joints and the rest of the physical system to achieve a new peak in physical fitness.

Other than its influence on the muscles, use of Whole Body Vibration equipment can also have a positive effect on bone mineral density. Vibrations cause compression and remodeling of the bone tissue which activates the production and delivery of osteoblasts (bone building cells), while reducing the activity of osteoclasts (cells that break bone down). Repeated stimulation of this system, combined with the increased pull on the bones by the muscles, will increase bone mineral density over time. It's also likely that improved circulation and the related bone perfusion due to a better supply of nutrients, which are also more able to penetrate the bone tissue, are contributing factors.

In preventing falls and the bone fractures that often result from them, enhancing bone mineral density is not the only important issue. Increased muscle power, postural control and balance are also factors worthy of consideration. Studies involving elderly subjects have shown that all of these issues can be improved using Whole Body Vibration.

Numerous studies have also demonstrated the ability of Whole Body Vibration in reduction of weight and cellulite.  The increase in physical activity stimulates a rise in caloric consumption of the body in very much the same way as regular cardiovascular exercise.  For most users the big upside is the shortened amount of time needed to achieve these results (just 10 minutes a day) in combination with the ease of exercising on a WBV device.  Increases in the movement of lymph fluid as a direct result of WBV also play an integral role in the reduction of weight along with the benefits of detoxification.  

Today, the applications for WBV continue to be researched and explored as the industry continues to evolve.  Currently NASA, The Russian Space Institute, and the European Space Agency are experimenting with various types of vibration systems in an effort to further develop the technology and gain the ultimate benefits from vibration stimulus.  

If applied properly and utilized for the right reasons with each individual, whole body vibration equipment really can produce the phenomenal results touted by the market.  

The other major component is being sure to use a quality device to expose your body to the vibration stimulus.  If you try to spend less and get a cheaper machine, that's all you'll end up accomplishing, getting a cheaper machine.  

You will positively miss out on the full range of benefits of WBV because the cheaper machines are not strong enough to produce the full scale results that the legitimate devices can.

It may be a little more investment upfront, but the return in the long run is so much greater, the only way it makes sense to buy a device is to buy a good quality one that will maximize your investment and results, thus getting you the greatest return for your money spent and effort put forth.

Space Trek

Most people can only dream of seeing the earth from space; and reaching the summit of Mount Everest (8,848 metres) is a formidable challenge that fewer than 3,000 people have ever achieved. In May 2009, American astronaut, Scott Parazynski became the first human to have done both.

In 2008, NASA astronaut Scott Parazynski embarked on his first expedition from Everest Base Camp, trekking towards the summit. He was forced to turn back on that occasion, but this year he returned for a second try. On May 20th, with the support of his NASA trek team at Everest Base Camp below, he reached the summit at around four in the morning, in time to see the sunrise on the curved horizon.

The Views He's Seen

Scott has had a remarkable life so far. His education spanned four continents, attending schools in Senegal, Lebanon, Iran and Greece, as well as the U.S. In 1989, he completed his doctorate at Stanford Medical School and then continued to study and practise medicine. With NASA, Scott had the enviable experience of seeing the world from a different and rare perspective, taking space walks while in orbit around the earth. These were part of his five NASA space shuttle missions where he worked on the Russian Mir Space Station and helped construct the International Space Station. This meant he spent hours floating in zero gravity with the blue planet spinning beneath him.

Astronauts and Everest Records

Scott Parazynski is not the only astronaut to crave further adventure after returning from space, and his association with the world of mountaineering is not unique. The Apollo 11 astronaut, Neil Armstrong, teamed up with Sir Edmund Hillary in 1985 to help Hillary set another record. It was more than thirty years after Hillary and Tenzing Norgay had returned safely to Everest Base Camp from the summit, becoming the first team to successfully reach the top. Armstrong flew Hillary to the South Pole in a small plane, helping Hillary become the first person to have stood on both poles and to have stood on Everest's peak.

Twenty four years later, as part of his acclimatisation preparations for the Everest ascent, Scott and his NASA team approached the mountain via the classic Everest Base Camp Trek route. He then took a number of training runs up the mountain to get his body used to the exertion and thin air. Once he was ready, he headed for the summit with a lump of rock from the moon in hand, which had been collected during Neil Armstrong's Apollo 11 moon landing.

Photographing the Top of the World

As part of Scott's second and successful Everest trek, he carried a special, high-quality robotic camera to capture panoramic images of the mountain. Called a GigaPan Epic, it is mounted on a tripod and left to scan for a while, collecting a 360 degree image of the view which is then stored on a computer. The results are wide strip of an image that you can zoom into and pan across, with an image that sharpens and refocuses as you interact with it. It's an interesting preview of what is waiting for trekkers at the culmination of the Everest Base Camp Trek.

The picture shows the many yellow and orange tents scattered among heaps of rock and boulders at the base camp. The fractured ice of the Khumbu Icefall is visible, as is the base of the Nuptse, an adjoining mountain. You can see the Khumbu valley leading up the mountain through which the NASA trek team approached on their Everest Base Camp Trek.

Scott took the camera up Everest to Camp IV. At 7,920 metres, it is believed to be the highest photo of its kind ever taken. However, the photos of Scott at the peak were more conventional: flags of sponsors and charities being held up for the camera, jackets adorned with memorial badges of space missions, and Scott with frosted eyebrows and a pink smiling face.
