Head-to-Head Specs
Here are the two plates side by side. A check mark shows the stronger spec on each line. Check both warranties before you order: the FTC explains how to read a product warranty. Mayo Clinic notes that research on whole-body vibration is still limited and advises checking with your doctor before you start, especially if you are pregnant or have a health condition. In a 2013 meta-analysis of randomized trials in healthy adults, programs of at least five weeks on a vibration platform improved knee extension strength and jump height.
