Den lette genvej virker
Af Marianne Fajstrup faj@berlingske.dk
Et stort forsøg viser, at vibrationsplader hjælper mere til holdbart vægttab end
almindelig træning.
De kaldes nedladende for "den dovne mands træningsredskab" og der er stor skepsis omkring
vibrationspladerne, fordi det virker alt for nemt bare at stille sig op på en plade og - vupti! - kan man nøjes
med en brøkdel af træningstiden og får samme resultat.
Det må være snyd, siger vores puritanske retfærdighedssans.
Men vibrationspladen, der i mange fitness-centre kendes som PowerPlate eller VibroGym, har nu fået en fin
blåstempling,
Et videnskabeligt forsøg på universitetet i Antwerpen viser, at overvægtige mennesker taber sig mere og har
lettere ved at holde deres vægttab, hvis de kombineret en kaloriereduceret diæt med motion på en
vibrationssplade. De taber sig desuden på en bedre måde, fordi de mister væsentligt mere af deres usunde
bugfedt.
Vægttabet med vibrations-træning er ifølge det hollandske forsøg næsten dobbelt så højt som ved traditionel
træning, og langt bedre end hvis man kun spiser mindre.
Op på pladen
Resultatet af det forsøget er blevet fremlagt på den europæiske konference for fedmeforskere, ECO2009,
som fandt sted i Amsterdam i sidste uge.
De belgiske forskere har i i et år fulgt 61 overvægtige personer, overvejende kvinder. Det første halve år blev
deltagerne hjulpet af diætister og motionseksperter til at følge en vægtplan og til at motionere efter en af de
to metoder. En tredje gruppe fik i et halvt år hjælp til at omlægge kosten til enn kaloriereduceret diæt, men
de blev bedt om ikke at motionere. Denne "interventions-periode" blev fulgt af et halvt år, hvor deltagerne på
egen hånd skulle prøve at vedligeholde deres vægttab.
En fjerde gruppe modtog ingen diætist-hjælp og blev bedt om ikke at motionere. Alle fire grupper var i
gennemsnit nogenlunde lige tunge - fra overvægtig til svært overvægtig - og havde samme mængde usundt
bugfedt ved starten af forsøget.

Motion hjælper til at fastholde vægttab
Efter et år havde kun de to motionerende grupper formået at fastholde det minimum af fem procents vægttab,
som anses for at være tilstrækkeligt til at give en helbredsfordel.
Gruppen som trænende konventionelt tabte i gennemsnit syv procent af kropsvægten i den første overvågede
halvdel af forsøget, og de tog i gennemsnit næsten intet af det på igen, da de var på egen hånd det næste
halve år. Slutresultatet for den konventionelle motionsgruppe var et vægttab på 6,9 procent.
PowerPlate-gruppen tabte sig 11 procent i det første halve år, og heller ikke her krøb ret mange af kiloene
tilbage. I gennemsnit var gruppens vægttab efter et år 10,5 procent, hvilket er overvældende godt for et
vægttabsforsøg.
Gruppen, som ikke motionerede, men kun fulgte en kaloriereduceret diæt, tabte sig ganske vist i gennemsnit
med seks procent i den overvågede periode, men de formåede ikke at fastholde vægttabet i det uovervågede
halve år og vægten krøb tilbage op over 5 procents-grænsen.
Kontrolgruppen, som var blevet bedt om at spise og motionere som før (dvs. hhv. for meget og for lidt)
øgede i gennemsnit deres kropsvægt med 1½ procent i løbet af det år, forsøget varede.
Bugfedtet smelter væk i vibrationerne
Den mest opsigtsvækkende forskel ligger dog i målingerne af bugfedt, hvor vibrations-motionisterne over
det første halve år tabte næsten tre gange så meget bugfedt som de konventionelt motionerende.
Efter et helt år var stort set alt bugfedtet tilbage på de konventionelt motionerende deltagere, på trods af deres
fine vægttab, og de blev på det punkt overhalet af de deltagere, der kun fulgte diæt, som tabte mere bugfedt i
interventionsperioden og ikke tog så meget af det på igen i perioden på egen hånd.
PowerPlate-brugerne fastholdt deres betydeligt sundere fedtfordeling over et helt år. De motionerede ellers i
meget kortere tid om ugen end de konventionelt trænende, der to gange om ugen var i motionscenteret i en
time, og blev opfordret til at motionere selvstændigt yderligere en time en tredje gang om ugen. De udførte
både styrketræning og konditionstræning.
PowerPlate-sessionerne varede i gennemsnit mindre end et kvarter, og deltagerne udførte ingen
konditionstræning ved siden af.
De belgiske forskere er selv de første til at påpege, at der var meget få deltagere i forsøget, og at man
mangler en grundigere belysning af, hvorfor PowerPlate egentlig virker. Det håber de nu at kunne undersøge
i et endnu større forsøg

Rystende motion
Vibrationspladen som motionsredskab er oprindeligt udviklet for at hjælpe russiske kosmonauter med at
bevare muskelkraft uden tyngekraft.
De senere år har kommercielle versioner haft stor succes, hjulpet på vej af kendis-fortalere som Madonna.
Den omdiskuterede ide bag pladen er, at vibrationerne i alle retninger tvinger musklerne til at foretage små
mikrojusteringer, hvor de spænder op og slapper af mange gange i sekundet, så træningen bliver mere intens.
Man træner på pladen ved enten at sidde, stå eller ligge på den, så man spænder forskellige muskelgrupper.
Øvelserne udføres over ganske kort tid, mellem et halvt og et helt minut for almindelige motionister. En
komplet session varer 10-15 minutter og siges at modsvare en times konventionel træning.
Hvis man selv vil prøve vibrationstræning, kan man formentlig finde dem i et motionscenter i nærheden.
Eller man kan online-shoppe sin egen PowerPlate til hjemmebrug (det mest udbredte mærke og dem, der er
blevet brugt i det hollandske forsøg).

European Association for the Study of Obesity
Study: Vibration plate machines may aid weight loss and trim abdominal fat
Amsterdam, the Netherlands: New research suggests that, if used properly, vibration plate exercise machines may help
you lose weight and trim the particularly harmful belly fat between the organs.
In a study presented on Friday at the European Congress on Obesity, scientists found that overweight or obese people
who regularly used the equipment in combination with a calorie restricted diet were more successful at long-term
weight loss and shedding the fat around their abdominal organs than those who combined dieting with a more
conventional fitness routine.
"These machines are increasingly found in gyms across the industrialized world and have gathered a devoted following
in some places, but there has not been any evidence that they help people lose weight. Our study, the first to investigate
the effects of vibration in obese people, indicates it's a promising approach. It looks like these machines could be a
useful addition to a weight control package," said the study's leader, Dirk Vissers, a physiotherapist at the Artesis
University College and the University of Antwerp in Belgium.
Vissers and his colleagues studied the effects of the Power Plate in 61 overweight or obese people - mostly women - for
a year. The intervention lasted six months, after which the scientists advised all the volunteers to do the best they could
with a healthy diet and exercise regime on their own for another six months. Body measurements, including CT scans of
abdominal fat, were taken at the beginning of the study and after three, six and 12 months.
The researchers divided the volunteers into four groups. One group was prescribed an individually calculated calorie
restricted diet. Dietician visits were scheduled every fortnight for the first three months and every month for the second
three months. The dieters were asked not to engage in any exercise for the duration of the six-month intervention.
A second group received the same diet intervention, with the addition of a conventional fitness regime. They attended
supervised exercise classes twice a week for an hour and were urged to exercise on their own a third time each week.
The sessions included group cycling, swimming, running, step aerobics and some general muscle strengthening
exercises.
A third group got the diet intervention plus supervised vibration plate training instead of conventional exercise. They
were asked not to do any aerobic exercise during the six-month intervention phase. The physiotherapists gradually
increased the speed and intensity of the machine each week, as well as the variety and duration of the exercises from 30
seconds for each of 10 exercises to 60 seconds for each of 22 exercises, such as squats, lunges, calf raises, push-ups and

abdominal crunches. The average time spent on the machine was 11.9 minutes per session in the first three months and
14.2 minutes in the second three months.
A fourth group got no intervention. There were no significant differences between the groups in obesity and abdominal,
or visceral, fat at the start of the study.
"Over the year, only the conventional fitness and vibration groups managed to maintain a 5% weight loss, which is what
is considered enough to improve health," Vissers said.
During the first six months, the diet only group lost about 6% of their initial body weight, but could not maintain a 5%
weight loss in the subsequent six months. The group that got diet plus conventional fitness lost about 7% of their initial
body weight in the first six months, but they didn't put much of it back on and by the end of the study, they had
managed to keep off a 6.9% loss. The vibration group lost 11% of their body weight during the intervention phase and
by the end of the follow-up period they had maintained a 10.5% loss. The control group gained about 1.5% of their
original body weight.
The vibration group lost 47.8 square centimetres of visceral fat during the first six months and still had a loss of 47.7
square centimetres at 12 months. Visceral fat shrank by 17.6 square centimetres in the conventional fitness group in the
first six months, but by the end of the year, it was only 1.6 square centimetres less than at the beginning. The diet group
had a visceral fat loss of 24.3 square centimetres after six months and 7.5 square centimetres after a year.
"These are very encouraging results, but it doesn't mean people trying to lose weight can ditch aerobic exercise and
jump on the vibration plate instead. They still need a healthy diet and aerobic exercise, but this could be a viable
alternative to weight lifting," Vissers said, explaining that the plate works by making muscles rapidly contract, which
builds lean muscle mass.
"People say vibration machines are fitness for lazy people. It may feel like a short cut, but if it's easy, you are not doing
it properly," he added. "Supervision in the beginning is imperative and the longer the better. What we see in gyms very
often - people just standing on the machine holding the handles - is not going to do anything."
Vissers said further research on a larger group of obese patients is needed to confirm how beneficial the machines are.
His team is also planning to study why vibration seems to be more effective than aerobic exercise in trimming visceral
fat, including whether increased blood flow to the abdomen and hormonal response to vibration might play a role in
more efficient fat breakdown. His study was funded by the Artesis University College of Antwerp.
