• Introduction
• Exercise intervention
• Vibrating platform
• Unconscious Spinal reflexes in kinetic chain
• Unconscious muscle action
• Background of vibration
• Balance between overloading and overtraining
• Efforts to consciously control
• Consciously working with the body to tap into the unconscious wisdom of the body
• Scientific research
• Strength and power improvements in athletes
• Postural balance and stability in special populations/elderly
• Bone mineral density in post menopausal women
• Anabolic outcomes – training effects without stress effects
• Passive and active applications
• Mobility, flexibility, stability and coordination
• 25-50 x / sec, multiple planes
• Dynamic isometrics
• Exercise Variables – frequency, amplitude, magnitude (g-force)
• F = M x A
• Opposing research
• Adding gravity to the body
• Mechanoreceptors
• Switching off pain
• Keys of conscious use
• Conclusion
