How Whole Body Vibration training works?

Lisa demonstrated on how to do training on the FLABéLOS.

The Science Behind It’s Success

The concept is based on Newton’s Law of gravitation. As the plates on the FLABéLOS move up and down at different speeds, your body naturally tries to stabilise. These changes in amplitude and speed increase the impact on the muscles and create more involuntary muscle contractions.

The continuous alternating tilting movement results in muscle contractions and generates vibration impulses to your muscles. These impulses travel to the spinal cord along the nerves which control the muscles for balancing. The amount of head shake during exercise is minimised as most of the movement is absorbed in the pelvis.

How FLABéLOS Works?

The FLABéLOS machine is a new training tool – Through research and clever technology, vibration training has been proven to improve and benefit the body in many ways. The Soviets used WBV (Whole Body Vibration) training in the early 1970’s for their professional and Olympic athletes. However today, decades later, not only is it available to you but the technology is even more advanced, creating even more proven benefits.

The OTO FLABéLOS is really easy to use. Simply stand on the machine, put your feet apart then select your desired programme level. The alternating tilting movement of the platform works continuously through a sequence of vibration levels during a 10 minute session. The OTO FLABéLOS employs a ‘pivotal’ system that oscillates just like the action of a seesaw. This sends out a fast sequence of vibrations specifically designed to trigger and stimulate muscle walls. The further apart you position your feet (or hands) the greater the force transmitted through your body.
