According to Fox Business, the US Ski and Snowboard teams are using whole body vibration exercise as part of their training regime for the 2010 Olympics.
Troy Flanagan, Director of Sport Science for the teams 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’ll be using this technology to warm up immediately prior to their races.
Flanagan believes that this will be an important factor in 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.“
