By taking your time to work through these blog articles you are gaining some appreciation for the mechanics, motors and modes of vibration that determine how much Acceleration a platform can produce and therefore how much energy can be transferred to your body; preferably without sending too much vibration to your head.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, research has shown time and again it\u2019s the Acceleration (measured in G\u2019s) you exercise with that determines how much work your muscles do and how much energy you burn.<\/p>\n

If that is the case, why aren\u2019t all vibration machines \u2018High G-force\u2019 machines?<\/p>\n

Cost<\/strong>
\nWhen it comes to the engineering of vibration machines, producing more G\u2019s requires:
\n\u2605 Better engineering ie. costlier engineers
\n\u2605 Costlier components
\n\u2605 More time in development
\n\u2605 Costlier production equipment to make the final product
\n\u2605 More post-production quality control
\nAnd, there are no \u2018off-the-shelf\u2019 options when it comes to high-performance machines, you can\u2019t just go to China and choose a generic high G-force machine to put your sticker on, they don\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n

You need to be dedicated to all these extra costs, assembling and managing a team capable of handling all those production requirements, finding investors and taking risk.
\nMost people selling vibration machines want to \u2018jump on the bandwagon\u2019 but want nothing to do with all this extra time, cost, risk and responsibility which is why there are so many cheap, practically identical \u201coff-the-shelf\u201d machines on the market.
\nYou can understand why those of us who \u201cpaid the cost\u201d are not happy with all the cheap imitations out there trying to dupe consumers into believing they offer high G-force (when they don\u2019t) or when it\u2019s obvious they don\u2019t offer high G-force, telling consumers high G-force is unsafe or unnecessary.<\/p>\n

So perhaps that list of costs could also include:<\/p>\n

\u2605 Unscrupulous imitators trying to take your customers and give you a bad name.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/a>Weight, Noise And Energy<\/strong>
\nConsumption<\/strong>
\nComparing a low-G platform to a high-G one is like comparing a pussycat to a Tiger.
\nCompared to a pussycat, a Tiger is larger, more powerful, louder, heavier, and consumes more energy, not to mention costs more to buy!<\/p>\n

The aim of any vibration machine is to generate movement – the plate moving you. It requires energy (electricity) to do this. It is not possible to convert all of that energy into movement. Some of the energy will be converted to sound and heat. Generating more movement (high Acceleration) requires more energy and will therefore result in some more sound and heat too. So…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Generating movement that is faster and more forceful is also going to require the machine to have a much heavier base as an anchor to prevent the machine from bouncing all over the room. So…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heavier machines also cost more to package and more to transport. Combining the production and transport costs with the structural requirements of creating a machine that can give you 5 times as much stimulation as an \u2018off-the-shelf\u2019 cheapo, helps you appreciate why its going to be bigger, heavier, louder and costlier – a Whole Body Vibration Tiger!<\/p>\n

\"dog<\/a>With few exceptions it\u2019s safe to say, machines which are:
\n\u2605 Small
\n\u2605 Light
\n\u2605 Quiet and
\n\u2605 Consume little energy<\/p>\n

are going to be low acceleration platforms not capable of providing the health benefits of a real high performance machine – though it doesn\u2019t stop some of the companies selling them from making Tiger-like advertising claims!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
