WBV is the unlimited Workout/Sports Machine to enhance, become stronger and maximise performance.

Whether you're an elite athlete or just keen to be fit and mobile, the WBV-3000 exercise program can be tailored to your specific needs and exercise goals with its range of 30 different settings.

Fitness

"I have watched this type of training explode onto the fitness and rehab scene".

"The results of training like this are pretty spectacular and explain why it is so popular in Europe". (Steve Schieme 2009)

Pre & Post Exercise

"Positive effects can be used to enhance muscle stretching, and warm up prior to physical activity to prevent injuries. WBV training is widely used post surgery and injured athletes to fast track the recovery process by stimulating the nerves and muscles to increase strength, performance and power of the muscles and joints (Cochrane et al, 2004). A study by Cochrane & Stannard (1998) revealed that power and flexibility increases after acute WBV exposure and that WBVT may accelerate the warm up effect. A study also revealed that WBV can assist in improving strength and bone density (Cochrane & Stannard et al, 1998).

Neuromuscular Health

"WBVT is a treatment method that uses low to moderate vibration stimulus to improve neuromuscular health. The WBV platform provides mechanical oscillations from 3 to 40 hertz and “stimulates the body’s natural stretch reflex causing muscle contractions. The stretch reflex is controlled by stretch receptors called muscle spindles that are located in skeletal muscles... with WBV this reflex action is continually stimulated, so a muscle continues to contract and relax until the vibration stops" (Vella, 2005).

Sports

Studies show Whole Body Vibration training in-creases vertical jump and flexibility. Research also reveals that WBV training increases speed and power through a significant increase in the proportion of type I and a decrease in type IIb fibres. Often referred to as an increase in fast twitch fibres. (British journal of sports medicine 2005. 39; 860-865.)

Muscle Contraction

".........the WBV stimulates the body's natural stretch reflex and causes muscle contractions...... The stretch reflex is controlled by stretch recep-tors called muscle spindles that are located in skeletal muscles..... with WBV this reflex action is continually stimulated, so a muscle continues to contract and relax until the vibration stops"

Training & Recovery

I have been using the WBV-3000 for the past twelve months. Over this time the ‘Wobbler’ has become an integral part of my training and recovery routine. I am able to recover much faster after training and games.

The WBV has been extremely beneficial in helping my long-term lower back tightness and pain. My Hobart Chargers teammates are quickly becoming fans of the ‘Wobbler’ too !
