Vibration training support

Hi,

This week I have been continuing my work into the effects of youbreathe on respiratory strength and power, the results are looking ever more exciting with gains of about 15% after just 10 breaths of youbreathe use vs no increase with 10 breaths of resistance. We will be continuing these studies and I will update you when they are finished.

Also we are continuing our research into how youbreathe can be applied to respiratory therapy in conditions such as cystic fibrosis or any condition where excess mucus is a problem. Because youbreathe provides pulses to the respiratory system we believe that it can be used to release excess mucus that would normally require chest physiotherapy. When we start getting the full results through I will keep you updated.

Another thing more generally I would like to talk about is to talk about personal trainers. Lots of personal trainers are now jumping on the vibration training bandwagon before we have a full understanding of the effects of vibration training on performance. But I recommend if you want to include vibration training in your training programme, you sould find someone who knows their stuff. There are still no independent qualifications for personal trainers to take, so I would advise contacting a University who research vibration training such as the Human Performance Centre at London South Bank University or a personal training company like Home Health Fitness (http://www.homehealthfitness.com) who are all University graduates and are applying vibration training in a controlled manner supported by University Research.

This weeks update

We have had a good couple of weeks in terms or research and what we have learnt about vibration. One of our devices has also received great coverage in Athletics Weekly magazine in the week leading up to the marathon. I find it so rewarding when someone comes back with a very positive experience using something that I did or contributed to. This is why we got into Science and this line of research. As a side note the editor of Ultra-Fit (http://www.youbreathe.com/general/images/17-2%20Vibration%20Training.pdf) magazine came back and said youbreathe had really helped him in his rowing time trial performance. These are exciting times indeed.

Many people keep asking me about vibration training and one of the most important questions I keep being asked is do I think it is bad that people are looking for quick fixes rather than doing the hard yards of a conventional training programme. Honestly I agree but what we have to realise is that our society is changing and we have to change with it. People don't seem to have the time to commit to regular training like they used to. So vibration training is one way we can try and keep the world healthy and happy even with a short amount of time and effort.

We also have an exciting week coming up for some of our other vibration inventions. We have a meeting coming up next week with the largest gym equipment manufacturer in the world who want to use our technology for their equipment. I think there hasn't been any major advances in training methods and gym equipment for a good 30 years. Vibration training is a quantum leap forwards for those who embrace it first. I hope soon everyone can have access to a vibration suite based on our technology. That would be fulfilling indeed, especially with the London Olympics coming up.

OK, will keep you updated regarding all things vibration.

Bye
