Practical Application of Vibration
Scott Hopson
- Introduction
- Passive and active application
- Big myths
- Active warm ups – mobility, switching the body on
- Lower frequency and amplitude
- Passive, massage, myofascial release
- Flexibility
- Active – lunging, etc…
- Dynamic movement preparation
- 30-50 x / second
- Finding the balance between stimulation and fatigue
- Laying on it directly
- Initiating GTO response
- Autogenic inhibition
- Pain-free release
- Stimulating localized blood flow
- Life is vibration
- How to gauge variable for different needs
- Finding the natural ranges
- Dis-Ease
- Amplitude + Frequency = Magnitude
- Gravity
- Moving into Active – standing up
- Vibration seeks active muscles
- Stability and coordination
- Corrective exercise reps required to undo faulty patterning
- Accelerating movement pattern re-programming
- From static to dynamic
- Single plane to multi-plane
- Goal – perform all movement patterns with vibration
- A-Z ranges
- Vibration strength training
- Volume and skill
- Increase frequency up to 40 hertz -> decrease volume
- Amplitude to increase workload
- Mass and acceleration
- Detecting overtraining
- High neurological training
- Mental emotional drain
- Allow phases to progress
- Begin statically
- Static in multiplane -> dynamic
- Integrated tool
- Recovery is limiting factor in performance
- Vibration as a recovery tool
- Conclusion
