Disclaimer: The Evolution™ is not
intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease. The benefits listed
herein this web site are based on independent studies which
reference years of research into (WBV) whole body vibration therapy
and training and those studies are independent of the Evolution™
technology and have not been evaluated by the FDA.
Degenerative
disease conditions, accelerated aging and
all diminished capacities ultimately can be
attributed to insufficient cellular
stimulation. As the living cell struggles
with poor nutrition, low oxygen levels,
environmental toxins and stagnation of
lymphatic fluids, disease conditions develop
which accelerate aging and shorten lifespan.
Solution – whole-body vibration
therapy!
Whole-body vibration therapy provides the
first safe, effective way to excite human
cells. This new patented technology
accelerates the body's natural healing
response, increases cellular oxygen uptake,
enhances cellular nutrient uptake,
stimulates cellular fluid movement and
facilitates cellular waste removal. As a
result, the new cells are more resilient,
vibrant, and function together more
cohesively as a healthier, longer lasting
body.
MS
/ ALS: Patients with Multiple
Sclerosis and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
are unable to train because the nerves are
no longer capable of controlling the muscles
properly. Evolution Vibration activates the
muscles directly without relying on the
nervous system. Patients tend to feel
better, have more energy to cope with
everyday activities, experience less pain
and are less dependent on others.
Pelvic
Instability: This condition usually
results from softening of the connective
tissue during pregnancy. Evolution
Vibration Therapy quickly brings the
hormonal system into balance, enabling
connective tissue to recover its strength
and firmness.
Excess
Body Fat: Evolution Vibration
Therapy works several ways to dissolve
excess body fat; it increases metabolism
which burns calories more rapidly; increases
blood circulation and lymphatic drainage
thereby removing toxins faster. Human Growth
Hormone secretion increases dramatically
(460%). Excess body fat melts away
effortlessly. People who use the Evolution
Vibration Trainer for 10 minutes, three
times a week, lose significantly more fat
than those who engage in aerobic activity
for one hour three times a week!
Cellulite: Those lumpy fatty
deposits that form an unattractive dimpling
effect around the thighs and other parts
simply melt away under Evolution Vibration
Therapy.
Stress:
Modern life is stressful, causing the
release of toxic stress hormones such as
cortisol and epinephrine, which throw the
immune system out of balance and destroy
brain cells by the millions. Sonic Vibration
Therapy increases human growth hormone and
serotonin (the "happiness, relaxation
and well-being hormone") secretion,
lowers cortisol and epinephrine secretion
31%, and enhances circulation, all of which
counteract the effects of stress on the body
and spirit.
Vibration
Therapy :: What
started out in the Russian space training
programs to combat the effects of the
gravity-free environment encountered by
astronauts in outer space has evolved into a
very effective human growth hormone (HGH)
releasing machine. Sonic whole body
vibration training encourage the release of
key wellness, recovery and rehabilitation
hormones such as serotonin, human
growth hormone and testosterone.
Evolution®
Vibration Therapy
Evolution® consists of
a sonic (sound) vibrating platform that the
user stands on or performs exercises on
which stimulates bones, muscles, blood
vessels and cells in a manner that promotes
their rapid development and circulation.
Exercise causes the body to tire; rest
allows the body to recover. By repeating
this process, the body adjusts to the level
of effort, resulting in an increase in
physical performance. This phenomenon,
called super-compensation, similarly occurs
when training on the Evolution® platform.
However, compared with traditional training
methods, greater results are achieved and
hormonal production is increased in much
less time when training on the Evolution®.
You will see the results
of increased flexibility each time you do a
SWBV work-out. Touch your toes before your
session, and again after the session.
You’ll be amazed. And, by the end of the
session you wont even be sweating or feel
fatigued. What you will feel is less stress
and more energy!

Muscles
The effect of vibration results in what
scientific literature calls 'Tonic Vibration
Reflex' or 'TVR'. That is a repeated myotatic
reflex or stretch reflex. This means that the
vibrated muscle has to work very hard, while the
subject or player using Evolution® does
nothing other than balance on the platform. The
effect per pulsation is like that of the knee
jerk reflex. This muscle activity can be
measured by use of electromyography (EMG). For
example, in a one repetition maximum effort, the
muscle(s) involved are activated 100%
voluntarily. However with vibration training on
Evolution® the muscles work at 200 to 300% of
this IRM activation. This is an ideal way to
train, especially when the muscle does not
function properly, for example with weakened
muscles in the elderly, or after injuries.
Hormones
Research
shows that after vibration training (just one
session!), there is a high excretion of
Testosterone and Growth Hormone. There is also a
drop in the stress hormone cortisol. This
combination has favorable effects on muscle
protein synthesis.
Effect of vibration training on Hormones:
- Testosterone:
+ 7%
- Human
Growth Hormone: + 460%
- Cortisol:
- 32%
(Source: Bosco et al
2000)
Increases
in Testosterone and Growth Hormone are important
in the functioning of both body and mind. Many
complaints of the elderly can be traced to a
decrease in these hormones. It is essentially
these hormones, together with the female hormone
estrogen, which are used to combat geriatric
complaints so that it is possible to still enjoy
life and vitality even when one has reached old
age.
Bones
Bone
decalcification (osteoporosis) is one of the
biggest health problems especially in the
elderly and women population. Many elderly
people break their bones more easily when they
fall because of bone decalcification; the hip is
the most notorious in this respect. The onset of
osteoporosis is partly due to a lack of
movement, which causes muscles to gradually
weaken, the circulation to diminish and the
bones to be inadequately used. In addition, as a
result of the ageing process, the body produces
less hormones such as testosterone, estrogen and
growth hormone. Yet it is exactly these hormones
which play such an important role in the
maintenance of strong bones.
The
advice usually given to sufferers of this
disease is to take more exercise, but that is
difficult when muscles are weak, particularly in
the legs. Evolution® offers a good alternative
to vigorous impact exercise: through vibration
the muscles automatically become stronger and
regain their tone. The circulation improves
because the blood vessels in the legs are wide
open due to the vibration. At the same time, the
pulsation gives a direct stimulus to bone
tissue, which in turn stimulates the production
of new bone tissue.
Scientific
research shows that vibration training can help
against osteoporosis. Recent findings show that
even after only one vibration treatment, there
is an increase in the hormone testosterone and
growth hormone, which are so essential for
strong bones.
Neurotransmitters
Parkinson's
disease is an example of a deficiency in
dopamine, which is the reason that L-Dopa is
given as medicine. It is also recognized that
serotonin plays a role in our mood, or frame of
mind. A shortage of serotonin in the brain can
lead to depression, which is the reason that
Prozac is given as a medicine in order to
increase the serotonin content in the brain.
From research, it appears that vibration
training also influences the neurotransmitters
and the way in which they work. Vibration
training increases the serotonin content in the
brain, which could possibly explain why one
feels so well after vibration training.
Blood
Vessels
The
effect of vibration training on the blood
vessels is clear to see and to feel. After
training, one often sees that the skin of the
lower leg is colored pink. This is a sign that
the blood vessels in that area are wide open. It
also explains the feeling which many describe
as: coming home after a snowball fight with your
bare hands, and then putting your hands in a
bucket of warm water. A tingling feeling which
indicates that your blood vessels are wide open.
In Germany, the effect of vibration training is
used as therapy for a disturbed peripheral
circulation, particularly in the lower legs,
such as in chronic venous insufficiency.
Nervous System
The
effect on the muscles is reflexively activated
via the nervous system. With vibration training,
it seems as if pulsations awaken the nerve
tract, which could explain the positive effects
of vibration training in partial paralysis. In
fact, good results have been reported in the
experimental treatment of, for example, MS
patients.
Cartilage
It
is already recognized that intermittent pressure
stimulates optimal functioning of the cartilage.
This cause the synovial fluid, or synovia, to be
repeatedly pumped between the cartilage, just
like a sponge which is constantly squeezed under
water. This intermittent pressure maintains and
improves cartilage function.
