RESEARCH AND CASE STUDIES ON VIBE-X
We regularly conduct third-party and meta-analysis tests on Vibe-X to ensure the highest quality and effectiveness of our products. Scroll down to check out our latest studies!
SPRING 2024 TESTING WITH CHARLOTTE GOLF TEAMS
We are excited to share the results of our Spring 2024 testing for both the men's and women's Charlotte Golf Teams. Our analysis highlights the potential impact of VIBE-X on various performance measures. Specifically, we observed notable improvements in push power, ground force reaction, and proprioception.
These gains may be attributed to our athletes incorporating VIBE-X into their training routines, which included exercises such as elbow planks, push-up planks, push-ups, and stability-focused warm-ups. The emphasis was on enhancing proprioceptive response and strength.
All spring testing results, collected on April 24th, were compared with the winter testing results from January 24th, providing a comprehensive overview of the progress made.
2023 APSU Women's Soccer Testing
In the fall of 2023, the Sports Performance coaching staff at Austin Peay State University introduced a VibeX Vibration Platform to their weight room. The Head Strength Coach for the women's soccer team integrated the Vibe-X into their in-season vertical testing routine. The objective was to assess the platform's effectiveness in activation exercises and its potential to enhance performance. While the Vibe-X was available to all athletes at the university, the focus was specifically on its impact on the women’s soccer team. Throughout the season, practices, workouts, and games were anticipated to significantly influence the athletes' performance in vertical jump tests.

RESEARCH ON VIBE-X
A comprehensive meta-analysis conducted by Pedro J. Marín and Matthew R. Rhea explores the effects of vibration training on muscle strength. This methodical review sifts through numerous studies to determine how vibration impacts strength development both in the short term (acute) and over longer periods (chronic). The analysis included data from 31 studies, focusing on different variables that could influence the effectiveness of vibration training.
One of the significant findings from this study is that the type of vibration platform plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of the training. Vertical platforms were found to be more effective than oscillating platforms, especially for long-term strength gains. The analysis showed that vertical platforms significantly enhance chronic muscle strength adaptations with a larger effect size compared to oscillating platforms, which are somewhat beneficial in the short term.
The study also highlights several factors that influence the outcomes of vibration training, including the gender and training status of the participants, and the specifics of the exercise protocol used. For instance, the results indicated that untrained or novice individuals might experience more pronounced benefits from this type of training compared to trained athletes. Furthermore, the findings suggest that incorporating vibration training can be a practical approach for enhancing muscular strength, making it a valuable addition to fitness regimens in sports and rehabilitation contexts.
Overall, the meta-analysis by Marín and Rhea provides crucial insights into the use of vibration training, suggesting that it holds significant potential for improving muscle strength effectively when appropriate training protocols are employed. The study underscores the need for further research to optimize these protocols and fully harness the benefits of vibration training across diverse populations.
