Applications
FitShake, FitShakeDLX and FitShake3.0 in sport can be used as a means of support or alternative to traditional, for heating or cooling down, or as a means of recovery during training. The stress produced by mechanical oscillations can increase the muscle contraction up to 30% with the effects of strength training and capacity-enhancing reactive elastic. The positive effects that can be obtained concern in particular the explosive force, maximum force, power, speed, flexibility and endurance. The exposure to this method also leads to stimulation of certain hormones from recent studies it was observed, in reply just 10 minutes of oscillation, a significant increase in both growth hormone (somatotropin) and testosterone, the raising that is parallel to the increase in muscle power. Famous are the tests performed by Dr. Bosco and his colleagues on some professional volleyball players who have shown an increase in the power of the extensor muscles of the legs after a session of 10 minutes. In a subsequent experiment, we have seen in well-trained athletes, an increase of muscle power during performance of jumps, after 10 days of treatment, applied for 10 minutes a day. It should be noted that even professional athletes derive great benefit from the use of floating platform, not just as moisturizing as well as to improve its performance without the risk of accidents (very high risk when you reach certain load levels). With regard to fitness, there is increased resistance to stress effort, greater ability to recover and strengthen the elasticity of the legs. In physiotherapy, the platforms can be used to solve the physical problems due, for example, for a prolonged period of inactivity following an accident or medical operations. Through the use and the ability of gradation (increments of 1 single step in a range between 1 and 20), you can create procedures for the rehabilitation and functional recovery, both under the aspect of joint mobility which trophism muscle. In general we can say that the floating platform can be used to help solve various problems, including:
Clinical studies of patients with peripheral nerve injuries and joint contractures, have demonstrated the effectiveness of treatment, pulling together the classic methods. Recent experiments have shown a remarkable improvement of the flexibility of the spine and the flexor muscles of the legs after treatment. This method, unequivocally, has proved to be far more effective than traditional methods such as ballistic, passive smoking, the static and PNF, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation.
At the aesthetic level, the platforms can be used to enhance the metabolic activity of the individual. Thanks to sessions on floating paltforms it is reported an increased metabolism (which would increase the basal metabolic rate), with increased fat burning and a consequent reduction in fat layers underneath. To emphasize, therefore, the improvement in aesthetics and well-being that this method can give, activates circulation and spraying more cells, the floating platform helps block the formation mechanism of cellulite, making the tendency to accumulation in capacity disposal of fat and muscle training trophism. Oscillations FitShake, FitShakeDLX and FitShake3.0 therefore, have an important effect lymphatic, seen in a visible reduction of cellulite and adhesions, and a strengthening of the connective tissue that allows you to have a skin softer and smoother. In terms of psycho-physical oscillations of the platform acts as a release in the body in a natural way of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which improves the mood and give a feeling of general well-being of all similar to that which occurs at the end of a sporting activity. Were also seen increases coordination, body balance and reflexes, because the oscillations act directly on proprioception (a mechanism that regulates the balance and the perception of motion).
In fitness for seniors, the platforms can be used to prevent osteoporosis. Although the studies addressed the application of the oscillation method for reducing the incidence of such problems are difficult to find in international documents, it can be noted that this new training methodology has unequivocal signs effective. These claims are substantiated by the fact that the apparent improvement in muscle function induced by the administration of this treatment, produces highly effective stress on the biological functions of the bones on which they occur. Recent studies suggest that this method could replace the pharmacological intervention to treat and prevent osteoporosis and other studies have found a significant increase in bone density in patients undergoing oscillation. This factor, coupled with increased muscle strength and balance are keys to improving the life of any elderly person (consider, for example, at lower risk of falls that may cause the increase of the balance). |
