Vibration exercise is proving to be an integral component in an athlete’s training.  The U.S. Ski and Snowboard teams are using Whole Body Vibration as part of their training for the 2010 Olympics.

Director of Sport Science for the teams, Troy Flanagan, says that they will be using whole body vibration platforms in the warm up area at the base of the race hill at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.  They will be using this technology to warm up immediately prior to their races.  

Mr. Flanagan believes that this will be an important key to their success.   

 “We find the machine incredibly useful for waking up the neurological system and applying loads through the body that we just can’t get from traditional weight training.“
