Saviez-vous que l'entraînement par accélération permet de 'stimuler' jusqu'`97% des fibres musculaires comparativement à 30-35% pour un entraînement de type traditionnel?

Perte de poids Une étude scientifique menée par Dirk Vissers (pays bas) a été publiée au congrès Mondial de l’obésité à Amsterdam. L’objectif de cette étude est la comparaison de 3 méthodes de perte de poids chez les adultes obèses ou en surpoids. 79 personnes en surpoids ont été réparties aléatoirement en 4 groupes differents : Le premier groupe a uniquement suivi un régime (groupe REGIME) ... Le second groupe a suivi un régime et un programme de fitness (cardio et poids pendant environ une heure) (groupe FITNESS) Le troisième groupe a suivi un régime et un programme d’exercices sur Power Plate (d’une durée de 12 minutes en moyenne) (groupe POWER PLATE) Le 4e groupe a conservé son mode de vie traditionnel sans régime ni effort. (Groupe TEMOIN) L’étude a été décomposée en 2 étapes : 6 mois d’efforts puis 6 mois sans rien faire et ce pour les 4 groupes (sauf groupe témoin). See more

Vibration exercises: A new and natural way to lower your blood pressure By Kathleen Blanchard G+ 2014-03-26 22:48... Vibrating your body on a machine could be a natural way to lower blood pressure, suggests new research. Side effects and cost of medications, exercise limitations for some people and other considerations make natural interventions to improve health appealing. According to new findings, whole body vibration improves the health of the blood vessels, making them more elastic. For their study, researchers investigated the effect of Power Plate advanced whole body vibration equipment on postmenopausal women's blood vessel health. Vibration exercise produces rapid muscle contraction and boosts the effect of exercises performed on the machines. What that means is using whole body vibration for exercise is easier for anyone with limitations. Compared to other types of exercise that make the heart stronger and increase endurance, vibration plate machines were found to restore elasticity to the blood vessels the same way as prescription medications. Arturo Figueroa, M.D., PhD, an associate professor at Florida State University, published the finding in the most recent issue of Journal of Human Hypertension that suggests the machines could reduce the chances of stroke and heart attack. Vibration also improves oxygenation to the body's tissue and boosts blood flow. In 2011, vibration exercises were shown by Figueroa and his team to decrease arterial stiffness that can lead to "hardening of the arteries" that is atherosclerosis. Advertisement Women in the newest study either had high blood pressure or what is known as "prehypertension" - blood pressure that is higher than normal but has not yet reached parameters requiring treatment. When blood pressure increases more strain is put on the heart. Lack of elasticity in the blood vessels obstructs blood flow and can lead to clot formation and stroke from high blood pressure. If you're looking for a natural way to lower your blood pressure check out your local gym or consider purchasing a vibration plate exercise machine.
