The history of the emergence of wave gymnastics originates from ancient times. This method was widely used in the XVIII-XX centuries, when during numerous observations positive effects of vibration on human health were described. At the beginning of the 20th century, wave gymnastics was so popular that it gained recognition almost as a panacea for all possible diseases. The main components of the wave gymnastics are the vibrational effects on the human body.
However, in the era of scientific and technological progress, the main components of which are considered the introduction of the latest scientific developments in everyday life and the use of automated equipment in industry, views on the impact of vibration effects on human health began to change. The fact is that the appearance of new varieties of industrial equipment led to an increase in the duration of the impact of vibration on the working person. This, in turn, was the main reason for the occurrence of some occupational diseases. As a result, vibration therapy began to reduce the area of its application and even for some period it was almost forgotten.
Modern research has shown that the main component of the positive effect of wave gymnastics is precisely the dosage of the vibration effect. With daily hours of vibration for many hours during the production process, the negative consequences are due to the excessive dose of this exposure. However, under the controlled mode of applying wave gymnastics and the correct approach to the performance of its main components (special exercises with a vibrational effect on a person), it is possible to achieve an effective health effect on the body.
To dose the vibration effect during the exercises on wave gymnastics, special vibration simulators have been developed. The basic principle of the work of these simulators is the passive action of vibration on the active person, at the same time the optimal dosage and complete control of this effect on the part of the training person is ensured. An independent dosage of the load received by the body during exercises by wave gymnastics is ensured by the fact that when a person is told to vibrate, the person has to constantly strain to continue interacting with the vibration simulator. Since such a tension disturbs a person's comfortable state, the main reason for stopping the exercise in wave gymnastics will be a feeling of fatigue, which is an important component for making a decision to stop the impact of vibration.
The main components of the mechanism of the healing effect when practicing wave gymnastics is reflex excitation and muscle contraction, increasing their tone, flushing blood to the skin, activating the metabolism. With a weak vibration, the muscle fibers relax. In no case during the practice of wave gymnastics can not tolerate the emergence of painful sensations.
Different types of created vibration simulators are now widely advertised in radio and television programs, print media and on the Internet.
