There are many reasons why people from all over the world make Hypervibe their chosen Whole Body Vibration platform, but fundamentally, Hypervibe owners choose Hypervibe because they are smarter buyers.
Hypervibe owners understand that no matter what features a machine might claim to have, there are only a few that really matter.
When compared with other brands, Hypervibe wins every time when the following 2 key points are considered.
G force is the fundamental principle of how Whole Body Vibration works. It determines the amount of load placed onto your muscles and bones when using a vibration plate, and subsequently how much stronger they become.
As has been demonstrated through extensive 3rd party engineering companies, as a general rule, the more money you spend on a product, the more G force you get.
Despite this, there are some suppliers of cheaply made, lower G force machines that employ one of more of the following strategies to convince you to purchase their product:
At Hypervibe we are proud of the value we provide by being the most powerful machine for the money. If you can find a competitor’s product that provides more G force per dollar spent, we’ll gladly refund your money!
Many pivotal vibration machines on the market operate at a maximum frequency of approximately 15 vibrations per second (15Hz). This means that despite producing the same pivotal motion as Hypervibe, the vibration is limited to low and mid range frequencies, and therefore are not able to produce frequency which is optimal for high frequency benefits.
Lineal type machines can produce vibration at high frequencies, but can’t produce the low or mid range frequencies. Therefore lineal type machines are not capable of producing frequency which is optimal for low and mid range frequency benefits.
Additionally, since the pelvis engages in a pivotal motion when walking, this movement is replicated through pivotal vibration and results in a more natural motion with greater muscle activation. Additionally, the rotation of the pelvis absorbs forces, and significantly minimizes unwanted vibration to the head. A comparative study by NASA researchers showed up to 187% more vibration transmitted to the head on a lineal type machine versus a pivotal type.
Hypervibe vibration machines produce a safe, comfortable, full frequency spectrum vibration.
When a dual mode machine is operating in pivotal mode, it has a maximum frequency of approximately 15 vibrations per second (15Hz). This means that while they produce the preferred pivotal motion, the vibration is limited to low and mid range frequencies, and therefore are not able to produce frequency which is optimal for high frequency benefits. Research shows that optimal frequencies for muscle activation are higher.
When a dual mode machine is operating in spiral/circular (sometimes referred to as 3D or tri-planar) mode, it vibrates mostly in the horizontal direction, not vertical. Scientific research using horizontal vibration has failed to demonstrate any benefit, while there are more than 1000 studies demonstrating benefits using vertical vibration.
The results of this study suggest that trainers and therapists should advise their clients to exercise on WBV platforms that induce vibrations mainly in the vertical plane such as side alternating (pivotal) or vertical synchronous (lineal) platforms.
