Note: before March 2004, the Vibrogym was known as Powerplate, and research mentioning Powerplate was performed on the VibroGym platform. The product now marketed as Powerplate is a different product and no longer features the high quality Dutch engineering and construction of the VibroGym.

Strength Increases With Less Training Time Compared To A Comprehensive Weight Program, 2006
The Vibrogym increases leg strength in young women
Roelants M., Verschueren SMP., Delecluse C., Levin O., Stijnen V. (2006) 
Whole-body-vibration-induced increase in leg muscle activity during different squat exercises
‘WBV and the reflexive muscle contraction it provokes, has the potential to induce strength gain in knee extensors of previously untrained females to the same extent as resistance training at moderate intensity. It was clearly shown that strength increases after WBV training are not attributable to a placebo effect.’

Strength Increases With Less Training Time Compared To A Comprehensive Weight Program, 2003
The Vibrogym increases leg strength in older women
Delecluse C., Roelants M., Verschueren SMP. (2003) 
Strength increase after whole-body vibration compared with resistance training
'In conclusion, muscle strength and speed of movement of knee extensors and counter-movement jump performance increased significantly in older women after 24 weeks of WBV training.'

Enhanced Strength Increases Combining VibroGym & Weights
The Vibrogym increases leg strength with weights for soccer players
Moras G., Tous J., Munoz CJ., Padulles JM., Vallejo L. 
Electromyographic reponce during whole-body-vibrations of different frequencies with progressive external loads
In conclusion, WBV at 30 Hz transmitted through a vibration platform in half squat position without any additional load significantly increased the normalised EMGrms activity of all muscle portions studied compared with the nonvibrating condition of the same position.

Reduction In Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
The VibroGym can help reduce Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) and speed the recovery of muscle power after intense exercise. 

Pietzsch FJG. University of Brighton (2004) 
The role of vibratory massage on treating delayed onset muscle soreness

'The findings within this study suggest that vibratory massage may also be a useful rehabilitation intervention for those individuals who suffer from delayed onset muscle soreness. This would have implications upon employment of masseurs and open a debate to determine their necessity. In turn this may make the role of masseurs redundant and reduce on-going rehabilitation costs.'

EMG Activity
The VibroGym stimulates higher levels of muscle fibre activation than conventional training

Roelants M., Verschueren SMP., Delacluse C., Levin O., Stijnen V. 
Whole-body-vibration-induced increase in leg muscle activity during different squat exercises
'This study gave a better insight in the responsiveness of the neuromuscular system during WBV. This information will help professionals involved in the health, fitness, and therapeutic sectors to determine the potential of WBV programs in revalidation and training.'

VibroGym Is A Safe Form Of Exercise For Osteoporosis Prone Groups
The VibroGym improved a number of key measures of fitness for post-menopausal over 6 months

Verschueren SMP., Roelants M., Delecluse C., Swimmen S., Vanderschueren D., Boonen S. (2004)
Effect of 6-month whole body vibration training on hip density, muscle strength, and postural control in postmenopausal women: A randomised controlled pilot study

'In healthy postmenopausal women, a 24-week whole body vibration program is feasible and able to modify muscle strength, balance, and hip bone density which are well-recognized risk factors for hip fracture.'

Geriatrics
The VibroGym can help improve strength, balance and flexibility in geriatrics in 6 weeks
Bautmans I., Van Hees E., Lemper J., Mets T. (2005)
The feasibility of whole body vibration in institutionalised elderly persons and its influence on muscle performance, balance and mobility: a randomised controlled trial
'We can conclude that 6 weeks static WBV exercises are feasible in elderly with limited functional dependency, and might be beneficial for balance and mobility.'

Muscle Activity, Strength, and Power

'The use of whole-body vibration as a warm-up procedure should be considered for coaches, and for strength and conditioning coaches in particular.' (hyperlink to file)

Basal Metabolic Rate Case Study
The VibroGym can increase BMR with little exercise and massage in 6 weeks
Metabolic Study (2003)
The difference which really jumped out in the out comes was the vibration group experienced an 18% increase in resting metabolism while the control group showed a 2% decline.

Cellulite Reduction Case Study
The VibroGym decreased cellulite in 24 weeks by 25% with VibroGym. With the addition of cardio training reduction improved to 32%.

Rebuilding Strength After An ACL injury
VibroGym (previously known as Powerplate) stimulates recovery after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. (hyperlink to file) (pdf doc)

Power-Plate (previously known as Powerplate) stimulates recovery after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. (hyperlink to file) (pdf doc)
Lutrina Klinik, Department of Knee Surgery, Kaiserslautern, Germany.

Research shows using the VibroGym expedites recovery of muscle performance after ACL rupture. Combination with conventional physiotherapy, exercises on the VibroGym lead to improved muscular power, enhanced proprioceptive abilities and stabilization of the art. genus. As a result, this special kind of therapy can be used for stabilizing joints and preventing additional trauma. VibroGym therapy is significant for anyone wanting to recover as quickly as possible from this kind of surgery in order to get back to normal daily activities such as work and sports.
