Vibration training requires the use of specially designed machines that vibrate at specific frequencies (normally between 30 and 50Hz). The most popular type of vibration machines are ‘platform-based’, which allow the user to perform a variety of exercises while standing, or placing their hands on the vibrating plate to perform upper body exercises, such as triceps dips. Other items of vibration equipment include handheld training poles, dumbbells and breathing devices.

Physiology of vibration training

Although there remains uncertainty about the precise magnitude of the benefits of vibration training, there’s no doubt that it does produce profound physiological effects in the body:

• Vibration training can recruit nearly 100% of a muscle’s fibres. This contrasts with the 40%-60% recruitment normally associated with other resistance training activities. Vibration training achieves these high recruitment levels by creating an almost continuous stretch/reflex in muscles. This is known as a tonic stretch/reflex and means that while undergoing vibration training, muscles are contracting at incredibly high frequencies, which also subjects them to considerable forces. These vibrational forces are believed to be highly advantageous for the enhancement of fast-twitch muscle fibre (more later);
• Vibration training stimulates muscular blood flow, which can speed up recovery from workouts and rehabilitation from injury. Increased blood flow will bring restorative nutrients to muscles cells and clear out damaged tissue faster;
• The tonic stretch/reflex produced by vibration training can interact with the muscle’s own contraction frequencies. Fast-twitch muscle for example, contracts (twitches) at a rate of 30-70 times a second when stimulated by, for example, heavy load weight training and speed training. By duplicating these frequencies with vibration training, these fibres can be worked even harder – ie greater fibre recruitment – without the need for a huge ‘mental’ input from the athlete.

Recent research into vibration training

An increasing body of research exists on the merits of vibration training for both athletes and the recreational fitness trainer. The former has looked at the effects of this training method on increasing power, strength and flexibility, while the latter has examined whether vibration training can be as effective as resistance and even CV training methods for improving body composition.

A team of Italian researchers considered the effects of whole-body vibration training on various measures in female competitive athletes(1). Whole-body vibration requires the athlete to stand on the vibration machine plate for designated time spans and/or perform reps of designated exercises, with or without added resistance.

The athletes were split between a vibration group (13 athletes) who trained three times a week for eight weeks and a control group (11 athletes). At the end of this period they were tested on: countermovement jump, leg extension strength, horizontal leg press, and flexibility (sit and reach test). The researchers discovered that the vibration group displayed a significant improvement in leg extension strength, countermovement jump performance and flexibility. There were no significant changes in the tested abilities of the controls. The team qualified their findings by indicating that the optimal frequency, amplitude (movement of the vibration platform), and G-forces need to be identified when using vibration training in order to maximise its effects.

Researchers from the Universities of Aberdeen and North Dakota discovered that a 30Hz protocol with 10mm amplitude and 60 seconds on/60 seconds off of vibration training exercise elicited the most significant muscle fibre recruitment in the vastus lateralis (thigh muscle) as measured by EMG(2). Higher frequencies did not elicit a significantly superior response. The athletes – in this case elite female volleyball players – stood on the platform in a squat position, with their knees at a 100-degree angle.

A team from Belgium considered whole-body vibration on knee extension strength and speed of movement and countermovement jump performance in older women aged 58-74 over a 24-week period(3). Interestingly, this particular study included a resistance training group as well as a control group.

Both the vibration group and the resistance group trained three times a week. The former performed unloaded static and dynamic knee extension exercises on a vibration platform, while the latter trained their quadriceps (knee extensors) by performing dynamic leg press and leg extension exercises, increasing from low (20 repetitions maximum – RM)) to high (8RM) resistance. The control group did not participate in any training.

Tests were performed before training commenced, at 12 weeks and at the end of the study. Leg extension strength was measured isometrically and dynamically, as was speed of movement of knee extension using an external resistance equivalent to 1%, 20%, 40%, and 60% of isometric maximum. Countermovement jump performance was determined using a contact mat, which measured jump height and force generation.

The results showed that isometric and dynamic knee extensor strength increased significantly in the vibration group and the resistance group after 24 weeks of training. Crucially, the training effects were not significantly different between the groups. Speed of movement of knee extension significantly increased at low resistance (1% or 20% of isometric maximum) in the vibration group only.

These findings led the researchers to conclude that vibration training is, ‘…a suitable training method and is as efficient as conventional resistance training when improving knee extension strength and speed of movement and countermovement jump performance in older women.’ Crucially they also argued that it was the vibration and not the performance of unloaded exercises on the vibration machine that resulted in enhanced physical performance.

Vibration training combined with aerobic exercise

Another interesting piece of research by the same researchers compared the effects of whole-body vibration training for fitness purposes on untrained women(4). What makes this research particularly intriguing is the fact that aerobic training was also included in the design.

Forty-eight untrained young women were divided into a whole-body vibration group who performed unloaded static and dynamic exercises on a vibration platform, a fitness group who followed a conventional cardiovascular and resistance training programme, and a non-exercising control group. Both exercising groups trained three times a week and the researchers measured body composition (using underwater weighing and skinfold measurements) as well as isometric and isokinetic knee extensor strength.

Over the 24-week programme there were no significant changes in weight, percentage body fat, nor in skinfold thickness in any of the exercise groups. However, fat-free mass increased significantly in the whole-body vibration group only. This indicates an increase in muscle mass, probably because of the vibration training’s ability to recruit more muscle fibres, in particular the fast-twitch type.

This group also benefited from a significant strength increase, as did the fitness group and the researchers concluded that, ‘The gain in strength [for the vibration training protocol] is comparable to the strength increase following a standard fitness training programme consisting of cardiovascular and resistance training.’
Vibration and speed

There’s no denying that evidence exists that vibration training can increase strength (isometric and isokinetic) and improve lean muscle mass, in both trained and untrained subjects.

Summary

It seems from the research quoted that whole-body vibration training can enhance (or at least match) performance in sport and fitness activities achieved by ‘normal’ training methods. Although more research in this area is required to investigate the precise correlation between vibration training and specific sports performance, athletes with access to vibration training machines may find it worthwhile experimenting with this training method in their routines in the meantime.

The concept of vibration training was originally developed by Russian scientists as part of their space programme and in particular, the desire to keep their cosmonauts in space in the best physical condition as possible for the longest period of time. The USSR (as it was then) actually held numerous endurance records in this respect.

Vibration training requires the use of specially designed machines that vibrate at specific frequencies (normally between 30 and 50Hz). The most popular type of vibration machines are ‘platform-based’, which allow the user to perform a variety of exercises while standing, or placing their hands on the vibrating plate to perform upper body exercises, such as triceps dips.

Vibration and speed

There’s no denying that evidence exists that vibration training can increase strength (isometric and isokinetic) and improve lean muscle mass, in both trained and untrained subjects. But what about more specific sports performance measures? Can vibration training enhance speed, for example?
Another team of researchers from Belgium set about discovering whether whole-body vibration training could enhance sprint performance(5). Twenty experienced sprinters (13 male, seven female, aged 17-30 years old) were randomly assigned to a whole-body vibration group, or a control group.

Over a five-week training period, the vibration group sprinters performed whole-body vibration workouts three times a week in addition to their normal training, while the control group trained as normal. The vibration programme consisted of unloaded static and dynamic leg exercises on a vibration platform using frequencies and amplitudes of 35-40Hz and 1.7-2.5mm respectively. The researchers tested pre and post-isometric and isokinetic knee extensor and flexor strength and vertical jump performance. Importantly, actual sprint performance was also measured.

The results showed that isometric and dynamic knee extensor and knee flexor strength were not significantly different between the vibration training and control groups. Moreover, in terms of improved sprint performance, the researchers found that getaway out of the blocks, acceleration and top-speed running were all unaffected by either training protocol. However, as other research indicates that vibration training can bring about improvements in strength and power in both athletes and the relatively untrained, it could be that five weeks of intervention was not enough time for the vibration training to work. It could also be that at the time of the study, the sprinters were not ready to move into their ‘maximum speed’ training phase, which could affect their ability to generate increased speed.

Summary

It seems from the research quoted that whole-body vibration training can enhance (or at least match) performance in sport and fitness activities achieved by ‘normal’ training methods. However, there are contradictions as displayed by the ability of vibration training to potentiate, for example countermovement jump performance, but not sprint performance. Although more research in this area is required to investigate the precise correlation between vibration training and specific sports performance, athletes with access to vibration training machines may find it worthwhile experimenting with this training method in their routines in the meantime.

If, like me, you are sitting at your desk experiencing back pain (I went to the chiropractor last week but things haven’t settled down yet) and are desperately trying to find a comfortable position, the following facts may at least help you feel like you are not alone……far from it!

Smokers Can Cause Back Pain!

Many smokers are not aware of the associated risks they are creating by participating in this habit. Smokers are over 2.5 times more likely to develop a back complaint as non-smokers, and recovery rates from back pain are correspondingly slower. Smoking causes back pain through significant degeneration of the intervertebral discs, a lack of oxygen in the blood supply, which dramatically affects the healing process, and causes an increased risk of fractures to the hips, wrists and spine.

Why Do We Get Back Pain?

In most cases it is very difficult to identify a single cause for back pain. In about 85% of back pain cases, no clear pathology can be identified. In other words, the causes of back pain are mostly unknown…….but there are a variety of  factors which we know contribute to back pain:
accidents or past lifting incidents that have caused acute back pain, smoking and obesity, plus
physical factors such as heavy physical work, frequent bending, twisting, lifting, pulling and pushing, repetitive work and static postures. There are other more subtle causes, like sitting in a bad chair at the office all day……..or having weak pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. They probably say that 85% of cases have no clear pathology because it can be a mix of a number of causes that has led to your back problems.

What Happens If I Ignore It?

Up to 7% of people with acute back pain will develop chronic back pain. These chronic patients have considerable discomfort and account for approximately 80% of the social and health care costs.

What Does Back Pain Cost ?

The National Health Service spends more than £1 billion per year on back pain related costs.  In the private healthcare sector £565 million is spent on back pain every year.

Nearly 5 million working days were lost as a result of back pain in 2003-04. This means that on any one day 1% of the working population are on sickness leave due to a back problem. Back pain is the number 2 reason for long term sickness in much of the UK. In manual labour jobs, back pain is the number one reason.

What Should I do If I Have Back Pain?

First things first, if your back is playing up, seek some medical advice just to make sure you know what you are dealing with.

One of the best things you can do while experiencing back pain is to keep moving and exercising. The days of being advised to take bed rest are all in the past. In fact bed rest will simply make the pain worse. Why? Simply that the lack of movement weakens the muscles even further. Add a poor mattress on top of that and you can see bed rest just making things worse.

It may seem counter intuitive, after all you’re in pain. Regardless, just keep exercising – even if it is just going for a walk. Find a way to give yourself some relief as well, like using a Flexibak Back Support Cradle.

If, like me, when your back plays up you find it difficult to find a position that is comfortable (either standing, sitting or lying down), the Flexibak comes into its own. Despite (or perhaps because of) its wooden construction, the Flexibak is often the only bit of respite I have when enduring a back episode. As it was designed by an Osteopath, it cradles the lower back, maintaining the curve of the spine while gently decompressing and mobilising the lumber area.

It all seems to work really well when my lower back is screaming at me. I have been on my Flexibak a lot over the last few weeks……it’s the only thing that has given me any relief.

If low back pain is your problem, Flexibak has to be worth a try, especially when nothing else seems to work!

“ As one of the trainers on ITV1s The Biggest Loser my role on the show is to help the contestants lose a vast amount of weight as quickly, effectively and safely as possible.”

“What has worked for me on the show is constant changes in my methods of training so that the contestants are always having to adapt and do not get into plateau situation that could inevitably mean less weight loss and eventual elimination. 

Ive used Flexi-Bars and the XCOs on both of my seasons as a trainer on The Biggest Loser and what they have given me is the ability to both exercise and educate the contestants with immediate feedback on their performance. 

Using the Flexibar helps them to understand about the use and importance of their core muscles and the XCOs have been amazing in the early stages of the show as I have used them when power walking and resistance training to great effect. 

In short, I will be continuing to use the Flexibars and XCOs for the forseeable future as the benefits of both have helped Kevin Sage (Biggest Loser Winner 2009), Wil Graham (Biggest Loser Winner 2011) and many others lose significant amounts of weight and learn about functional training.

PS  I’ll need Flexibars for my new PT studio (top secret) in Richmond – opening Autumn 2011….”
