Gravity Resistance Training (GRT)
There is a wide spread myth about Whole Body
Vibration originating in Russia during the 70’s and used
for the health of their cosmonauts and the
performance of their Olympic athletes. The reality is
that modern Whole-Body Vibration began in Germany
during
the mid-nineties. The pioneering machines
were very powerful
and designed to increase the
gravitational forces acting on a user
by applying rapid
pulses of vertical force under the users’ feet,
triggering a range of responses and benefits. Over
the years as more manufacturers started to release less
powerful Whole-Body
Vibration platforms, the original
concept became somewhat lost.
Gravity Resistance Training refers to the actual training
principle
by which users of a Whole-Body Vibration
platform experience tremendous benefit to their
muscles, bones, and bodies. What sets apart a GRT
machine from a regular vibration machine, is its
ability
to produce high levels of gravity (acceleration), just like
the
pioneering technology from Germany. In simple
terms, this means that the platform’s upward vertical
force can simulate more than 10 times the strength of
Earth’s gravity.
While manufacturers of low powered machines
attempt to use
smoke and mirrors, we at Hypervibe
focus on the reality of Whole Body Vibration
technology and what sets it apart from other
approaches to health and fitness. We focus on its
ability to provide true Gravity Resistance!
After all, is Gravity not the force we fight against every
day in our lives. Is not our failure to fight gravity
