We have developed a number of exercises that are extremely well suited to all kinds of specific targets. DKN"WBV" Device International is presently working on the development of a number of exercises specifically meant to assist in recovery of injuries and several other physical afflictions. We are also working on exercises to increase joint flexibility and mobility.

Training on the "WBV" Device offers all of the effects you could attain by means of regular fitness training, except for the enlargement of the heart muscle. You can achieve every other goal (such as muscle strength, flexibility, co-ordination, and endurance) by using the "WBV" Device. If used for weight training within a sport specific training schedule you will have to combine the "WBV" Device exercises with others using barbells and dumbbells, to enhance co-ordination of upper and lower body.

At the end of the 19th century, scientists discovered that mechanic vibration can alleviate pain, and thus vibration was put to use to treat physical discomfort. In the 20th century proper scientific research was undertaken on the influence of vibration on bone growth. Because astronauts experience a significant decrease in bone density during their stay in space, therapies were required in order to counteract this symptom. The growing number of elderly people also initiated research into the connection between vibration training and bone density. It turned out that vibration therapy improved bone density enormously. In the middle of the 20th century scientific research also showed that vibrations transferred to the body will cause a stretch reflex in which the muscles are contracted continuously. In the former Soviet Union, this principle was put to use in improving performance in sports. During the 70's, many Russian scientists (e.g. Nazarov, Issurin) have studied the effects of vibration training, where a great increase was found in muscle strength, flexibility and recuperation capacity. In the western world this new form of weight training was largely unknown. Only after the Iron Curtain was pulled down, scientists from Israel and Italy rediscovered and developed the principle of vibration training. In the therapy field local vibration methods have been used for years, both preemptively and in recovery and rehabilitation after injuries. The "WBV" Device is a Dutch product, based on scientific findings and results, and expanding the use of this form of training to the entire human body with the help of the straps.
