Sounds too good to be true.

Yeah, I saw a few research papers backing it up. I was also surprised by how many teams are using this training approach. Many of the Australian basketball teams were reporting good results with it. There is a list of NBA teams that are using it as well if you google hard enough. The scientiffic papers basically said that it works due to the vibrations providing a moderate level of shock to the muscles, this simulates a weight training effect, even to the point where the body produces increased hormones to respond to the stress. I just looked up the price of one of these machines and I was shocked to see the price at $6000 US dollars!!! DAMN!! It's mostly used by rehabilition centres and good health clubs due to that high price tag.
