"Like weighted vests, a vibration plate on its own isn't going to miraculously make you lose weight - but this piece of equipment does have some benefits that can be extremely helpful, especially when combined with regular exercise. What is a vibration plate? A vibration plate is a vibrating platform (some have different levels) that you stand on, although some users may do squats or other simple exercises while on one. "Vibration plates make your muscles move quickly, which can help them feel more active,""
"As the plate vibrates, your muscles are constantly contracting and relaxing, with vibrations often happening as frequently as 20 to 60 times per second, says physical therapist John Gallucci Jr., CEO of JAG Physical Therapy. "The amount of energy your body burns depends on the frequency and intensity of vibrations." What do vibration plates actually do? While they look silly and sound like a gimmick, these plates do pack some benefits, according to Gallucci, such as improved muscle strength and enhanced circulation"
Vibration plates are vibrating platforms that produce rapid oscillations, often 20 to 60 times per second, causing muscles to contract and relax repeatedly. Rapid contractions can increase muscle activation, support balance and flexibility, and help users feel more energized after workouts. Calorie burn from vibration plates depends on vibration frequency and intensity, so they are not a standalone weight-loss solution. Benefits become more meaningful when vibration plate use is combined with regular exercise. Reported advantages include improved muscle strength and enhanced circulation, making vibration plates a useful adjunct for certain fitness and rehabilitation goals.
