Any effects above this range are disputed. It triggers muscle reflexes and muscle contractions. The related methods of bio-mechanical stimulation (BMS) or bio-mechanical oscillation, however, stimulate localised groups of muscles either directly or through their tendons, via special vibration devices. Vibration training is offered in a wide range of applications (competitive sports, fitness training, rehabilitation, medicine, health provision, beauty) as well as for increasing muscle performance and improving coordination and balance. 6 EQ30002_Bedienungsanleitung_Vibrationsboard_RZ.indd 6 25.11.13 17:01 SPEQ Vibration Board History of Vibration Training In 1960 the East German W. Biermann published the effects of socalled cyclic oscillations on the human body. Wladimir Nasarow, a member of the Soviet team of gymnasts, integrated an adaption of Biermann’s idea into workable trainings methods in 1970. At the same time Soviet scientists worked on a solution to counteract bone and muscle atrophy in zero gravity, as part of their current space flight programme. In this connection they used bio-mechanical oscillation (a vibration method) which is proven to enhance bone density and prevent muscle atrophy. Training devices have been commercially available since the late 1990s and have been continually developed ever since. 7 EQ30002_Bedienungsanleitung_Vibrationsboard_RZ.indd 7 25.11.13 17:01 SPEQ Vibration Board Vibration Training Today In the course of the upcoming Mars mission NASA has been researching, for some time, the use of just this vibration technique. On the ISS, too, attempts are made to prevent muscle atrophy in astronauts, who are staying at the space station over longer periods, through muscle training. Routinely used training methods (treadmill training, bicycle ergometer training, and resistance training for the upper limbs) are rather time-consuming (2 – 2.5 hrs. /day) and cannot sufficiently prevent bone and muscle atrophy. Vibration training has been chosen as the optimal solution for this. Today many studies on vibration training exist that clearly confirm its functionality. One of the best known ones is the EVE-study by the German Aerospace Centre (Deutschen Zentrums für Luft- und Raum- fahrt (DLR)). 8 EQ30002_Bedienungsanleitung_Vibrationsboard_RZ.indd 8 25.11.13 17:01 SPEQ Vibration Board Vibration Modes Vertical Vibration The Vibration Trainer DOUBLE PLATE works following the vertical method, with the plate moving vertically up and down. The vibration forces (sinusoidal vibration) act on the body linearly upwards and downwards. The vibration impulses impact directly on the body axis without the occurrence of lateral forces. See-saw Vibration or the side- alternating principle also performs a purely vertical movement. However, the right and left sides of the vibration plate move upwards and downwards in opposite directions, like a seesaw. This type of vibration simulates the natural movement of the hips and the forces are used in different joints and different directions of motion. 9 EQ30002_Bedienungsanleitung_Vibrationsboard_RZ.indd 9 25.11.13 17:01 SPEQ Vibration Board Vibration Methods / Training frequencies Side-alternating Vibration Frequency Vertical Vibration • Improving of blood circulation • Relaxation of the muscle tone • Improvement of balance • Joint mobilisation • Loosening of adhesions • Relaxing of muscles • Improving of muscular strength • Improvement of coordination • Improving of stress incontinence • Increase of bone density • Improving of muscular strength • Improvement of coordination • Improving of blood circulation • Hormonal changes • Improvement of balance • Reduction of chronic 5 - 8 Hz Setting not possible 10 - 15 Hz 15 - 20 Hz Setting not possible 20 - 30 Hz Setting possible for certain models: • Improving of muscular strength • Hormonal changes • Toning of muscles • Improving of blood circulation • Improvement of mobility • Neurological stimulation More than 30 Hz • Increase of bone density • Improving of muscular strength • Toning of muscles • Improving of blood circulation • Improvement of mobility • Neurological stimulation lumbar back pain • Toning of muscles • Improvement of mobility • Neurological stimulation Possible on request – but generally not recommended Setting not possible 10 EQ30002_Bedienungsanleitung_Vibrationsboard_RZ.indd 10 25.11.13 17:01 SPEQ Vibration Board Slow stimulation (˂15Hz) trains the inter-muscular coordination; rapid stimulation enhances the intra-muscular coordination. The body processes the forces produced by the vibration training depending on the frequency: At low frequencies the muscles absorb the forces mainly through changes in length (through motion in the stimulated joints), at high frequencies this happens mainly through changes in muscle tension. Above 30 Hz muscle tension decreases since the contractile elements cannot absorb more than 27 tension changes per second. 11 EQ30002_Bedienungsanleitung_Vibrationsboard_RZ.indd 11 25.11.13 17:01 SPEQ Vibration Board Description of the SPEQ Vibration Board DOUBLE PLATE The SPEQ Vibration Board is an appliance from the vibration plate family. It combines, for the first time, an attractive, pleasing design with a perfect function - size ratio. With its vertically variable, adjustable motion and resulting vibration frequencies it can contribute positively to circulation, fat metabolism and the tightening and strengthening of intra-muscular and muscular areas. Vibration training can also contribute to the prevention of a decrease of bone density. The compact and visually appealing design as well as its extensive range of vibration frequencies makes the SPQE Vibration Board DOUBLE PLATE the perfect overall fitness machine for home use. The nature of the vibrations, combined with other factors like frequency, amplitude and duration of the training units, determines their success. Apart from the factual, positive effects of the SPEQ Vibration Board HELI its impact can be enhanced and accelerated by, for example, sustained training and a balanced diet. 12 EQ30002_Bedienungsanleitung_Vibrationsboard_RZ.indd 12 25.11.13 17:01 SPEQ Vibration Board Safety Guidelines/Contra-indications There are some relative contra-indications that do not necessarily exclude vibration training, but should be discussed with your GP or therapist. The following applies to all information with an added time scale: if an illness or procedure is more recent than the time indicated, they count as an absolute contra-indication. Relative contra-indications, to be discussed with a physician: • • • • • Non-acute back problems (e.g. Morbus Bechterew) Existing implants 6 - 9 months Existing breast implants 6 - 9 months Gall and kidney stones Cardio-vascular diseases (with more severe inflammation and insufficiency no vibration training) • • • Existing stents (2 years) Acute migraines Acute arthrosis Absolute contra-indications: • • • • • • Acute thrombosis Higher level osteoporosis (with fractures) Untreated hypertension Severe diabetes (with angiopathies) Pregnancy Heart/brain pacemakers 13 EQ30002_Bedienungsanleitung_Vibrationsboard_RZ.indd 13 25.11.13 17:01 SPEQ Vibration Board Areas of Application for Vibration Training Health and Rehabilitation • • Stimulating bone metabolism in osteoporosis Passive stimulation of musculature during rebuilding of muscles after injury • In the case of sports injuries vibration training accelerates the healing process by improving the metabolism and mobilising the damaged tissue. Wellness/Beauty • Improvement of the circulation in connective tissues as well as the functioning of the lymph system. • Reduction of cellulite through increased keratin production in the tissue and the resulting tightening of the skin in combination with strengthened muscle tissue • Increased calorie consumption and fat metabolism Fitness • For everyday use as well as sports like gymnastics, golf, basketball or horse riding, which require well-trained torso muscles for their successful performance; the SPEQ Vibration Board is an ideal trainings partner, since it targets all the important muscle groups, even those conventional methods reach only with difficulty. 14 EQ30002_Bedienungsanleitung_Vibrationsboard_RZ.indd 14 25.11.13 17:01 SPEQ Vibration Board Operating the SPEQ Vibration Board DOUBLE PLATE Display: MiniMonitor TIME FREQUENCY I MODE TIME I VIBRATION AMPLITUDE TIME I VIBRATION Time/Vibration [+/-] ON/OFF MODE Programme mode Amplitude 15 EQ30002_Bedienungsanleitung_Vibrationsboard_RZ.indd 15 25.11.13 17:01 SPEQ Vibration Board Remote control: Start/Stop: Insert battery and press the red Start/Stop button to start up the device.

Beginners should start with 2-3 workouts per week. There should always be a 2-day break between them. For a 10-minute workout choose 5 - 6 of the listed exercises. More experienced users may increase their training. Training times should initially not exceed 10 minutes. Over time you will develop your own, personal training schedule with increasing training times. Listen to your body and increase rest periods between training times as needed. As a second step you may want to increase the time of each exercise or complete fewer exercises but increase the time for each of these. Frequency and amplitude increase the level of difficulty, regardless of the training time. Amplitude: Placing your feet, in a parallel position, nearer the sides or the middle of the plate increases or decreases the amplitude and, thereby, the level of difficulty. Work up the level of difficulty from the middle of the plate towards the sides. Start initially, with lower amplitude, from the middle. Frequency: The frequency is measured by the speed of the vibration board. You can change the frequency via the ▲and▼ buttons between 5 – 21 Hz. 17 EQ30002_Bedienungsanleitung_Vibrationsboard_RZ.indd 17 25.11.13 17:01 SPEQ Vibration Board All exercises can be carried out both on the activated or not activated vibration board. For best results make sure to activate your board. Start by using a low oscillation to get accustomed to your vibration board. Eventually, you may increase the frequency. Alternatively, choose one of the pre-programmed trainings programmes. 18 EQ30002_Bedienungsanleitung_Vibrationsboard_RZ.indd 18 25.11.13 17:01 SPEQ Vibration Board 1.
