Whole-body Vibration - Wbv

Whole-body vibration may be as effective as regular exercise

A less strenuous form of exercise known as whole-body vibration (WBV) can mimic the muscle and bone health benefits of regular exercise in mice, according to a new study. WBV consists of a person sitting, standing or lying on a machine with a vibrating platform. When the machine vibrates, it transmits energy to the body, and muscles contract and relax multiple times during each second. Ref. Source 3v.

Wbv Vibration Whole-body

That is a interesting concept. I wonder if it will really work and people can just lay down on a platform and get 'exercise'? I think that you would need to do more but I am not a expert here. It would be fun to try it out I think.
