Exploring the Benefits of Vibration Training: Rhythmic Neuromuscular Stimulation in Fitness

The video discusses rhythmic neuromuscular stimulation (RNS), a concept dating back to 1960, which uses vibrations to improve muscle tone. The machine settings can be adjusted for different frequencies and durations, benefiting sports like golf. Caroline Pierce, an Olympic athlete, shares her initial skepticism and eventual acceptance of vibration training. The video also touches on the historical use of vibrations for healing, tracing back to ancient Greece.
