How Does it Work..?

The NEMES BOSCO SYSTEM is a highly advanced computer-controlled system of training. It works in the following way: Acceleration in itself is an extremely intensive stimulus. At a frequency of 30 Hertz, for example, each pulsation is given an acceleration of 54m/s. In our example, it is applied 30 times per second. The frequency and the acceleration at an amplitude of about +/- 4mm results in a myotatic reflex or stretch reflex. This reflex activity is also referred to as a "Tonic Vibration Reflex" or 'TVR'. It is this mechanism which ensures an optimal increase in power.

The effect per pulsation is like that of the knee jerk reflex, which means activation of all muscles fibers (agonist and antagonists) in a way it does not exert any physical stress or load on the musculoskeletal system. It decreases the threshold of the type II muscle fibers, thus, they are recruited at the beginning of the desired motion and act together with the type I to achieve a tremendous change in the explosive power which mean a quick and strong desired motion.

All this is achieved in up to 10 repetitions of 1 minute. The same synchronisation of the central nervous system happens after passing the hard work of about one-month of intensive weight training. This muscle activity can be measured by electromyography (EMG). For example, in one repetition maximum effort, the muscle(s) involved are activated voluntarily at 100%. But with Vibration Training on the NEMES BOSCO-SYSTEM, the muscles work at 200% - 300% of this 1RM activation...! But in order to get this result the user needs to know his/her exact vibration training frequency. A simple electromyography (EMG) test prior the training session will give the information which frequency (Hz) to use. The NEMES BOSCO is the ONLY vibration training machine world wide, which can determine the training frequency of its user.
