Noblerex K1 Vibration Exercise Machine

Here is a collection of scientific studies we've gathered for you on the benefits of the Noblerex K1 and whole body vibration. The majority of these studies were done on the original whole body vibration machine, the Galileo, which is an oscillating/pivotal machine like the Noblerex. The Noblerex most closely models the Galileo in terms of vibration and strength.

These studies are split off into sections: Fitness, Performance, Blood Circulation, Bone Density, Fall Prevention, Flexibility/Mobility/Balance, Hormonal Response, Metabolism, Neurological Conditions, Osteoporosis, Pain Management, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, and Medical Conditions & Rehabilitation.
