New European Research on VibraSlim’s Vibration Exercise Technology Confirms Weight-loss Contact Information Share and Connect New scientific study backs up what vibration exercise users have known for years and finds vibration plate machines help to lose weight and reduce belly fat and keep it off. Online PR News – 09-December-2009 –New research provides conclusive evidence that vibration exercise machines do help you lose weight and trim harmful tummy fat. European scientists found overweight and obese people who regularly used the equipment alongside a calorie-restricted diet were much more successful at long-term weight-loss and shedding the fat around their abdomen than those on the diet doing traditional exercise. The researchers divided the study group into four groups. DIET GROUP: One group was prescribed an individually calculated calorie restricted diet. DIET PLUS EXERCISE GROUP: The second group received the same diet instructions, with the addition of a traditional fitness program. CONTROL GROUP: A third control group got no diet or exercise instructions. DIET PLUS VIBRATION EXERCISE GROUP: The fourth group got the diet instructions plus supervised vibration plate training instead of conventional exercise. They were instructed not to do any aerobic exercise during the six-month study period. THE RESULTS DIET GROUP: During the first six months, the diet only group lost about 6% of their initial body weight, but could not maintain a 5% weight loss in the subsequent six months. The diet group had a visceral fat loss of 24.3 square centimetres after six months but were unable to maintain the loss and dropped down to only 7.5 square centimetres after a year. CONTROL GROUP: The control group predictively gained about 1.5% of their original body weight. DIET PLUS VIBRATION EXERCISE GROUP: Finally vibration exercise group lost 11% of their body weight during the intervention phase and by the end of the follow-up period they had maintained a 10.5% loss. The vibration fitness group lost 48 square centimetres of visceral fat during the first six months and still had the impressive loss of 48 square centimetres after 12 months. Vissers plans further research to study why vibration exercise seems to be more effective than aerobic exercise in trimming visceral fat, including whether increased blood flow to the abdomen and hormonal response to vibration might play a role in more efficient fat breakdown. His study was funded by the Artesis University of Antwerp. The results were presented at ECO 2009 -- The 17th European Congress on Obesity in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
