Vibration training can be used in addition to the regular power training, or as a safe alternative to power training, on the other hand, it can be used as a warming-up, to prepare for power training or in combination with technique training and/or speed training.
A problem area in top sport is training the explosive power, such as jumping power or throwing power. Use is often made of 'brutal' training intensities and high 'peak' loads. This could be with heavy power loads of hundreds of kilos of weights, plyometric loads or drop-jumps. These unfortunately often result in injuries. Some examples are foot injuries, Achilles' tendon injuries, knee injuries (jumpers knee) or back complaints.
The muscles become stronger after many years of training, but not the passive movement apparatus, like tendons, ligaments, joints and bones. Certainly for athletes who have reached the limits of their physical limits, it is extremely difficult to find effective and safe training methods.
Vibration training allows the muscles to work very hard without overloading on the ligaments, tendons, joints and vertebra. This is not only to the benefit of top athletes, but also for young athletes, who are not able to take on strength training because of growing problems e.g. Osgood-Schlatter or M. Scheuermann, both disorders in bone growth that often appear in the teen years.
VIBRATION-TRAINING CAN BE USED IN A NUMBER OF WAYS
Supplementary to the normal power-training (for example: Monday/Wednesday/Friday power-training; Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday- vibration-training).
An alternative for power-training, when there is injury or rehabilitation (for example: instead of power-training on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, replace with vibration-training on Mon/Wed/Fr .
In preparation for power-training (for example: Monday/Wednesday/Friday first vibration-training, and afterwards power-training).
In preparation for other types of training, such as technique-training or speed-training,
In preparation for competitions, as a warming-up; during track and field events, we often see the sprinters jumping or hopping up and down before they take up their positions in the starting blocks.
Cooling-down after training and contests, because of the positive effect on the blood circulation and the hormones, which helps the sportsman/woman to recover faster.
TRAINING EFFECTS
Vibration training with the NEMES BOSCO SYSTEM has a great number of positive effects on the sportsman/woman athlete:
-
explosive strength
-
maximum strenght
-
power
-
speed
-
agility and flexibility
-
circulation
-
recovery
-
motor learning.

Moreover, it avoids injuries and can be used as therapy when injuries do occur. An additional advantage with the NEMES BOSCO SYSTEM is that there is no question of mental or metabolic load . There is no central fatigue in the nervous system.
There is also hardly any (if at all) metabolites like lactic acid, to be found in the muscle after vibration-training. For this reason, vibration-training can be perfectly combined with other types of training.
This advanced training system enables athletes to get the best results from their training; an increase in power, a positive influence on the hormonal system and a break through the force and speed barriers!
The effects of 10 minutes vibration-training can be compared with 150 leg-presses or squats, using a weight which is three times the body-weight, twice a week for 5 weeks in succession!
ADVANTAGES
-
they can train at a intensity within the limits of their physical ability
-
the training is more effective, in less time, which helps to break through the speed barriers
-
it is a safe way to do high intensity pressure training, at an intensive level
-
it is easy to combine with other types of training
-
there is a there is a there is also reduced load on the passive movement apparatus when compared with other more conventional maximum power-training or plyometric training (drop jumps, jumping, bounding)
-
an excellent way to stimulate the hormonal system
-
very little mental stress for the athlete; there is no special technique or effort needed
