Health Products Research - Harrow, Middlesex

Conditions Of Trial:

To ensure consistency, in all cases, the subjects maintained their current lifestyle, exercise/training regime (if they were doing one), diet and other habits – the Oscill-8 was therefore merely an addition to the above – everything else remained the same. “Before” and “After” measurements of key factors were taken in all cases.

Subject A:

Subject A - Male, 33 years old, office worker (mainly desk-based job). Currently does moderate cardiovascular exercise 2 times per week, as well as moderate weight training twice per week.

Subject A whilst in relatively good health, was slightly overweight and also complained of joint pains and stiffness, particularly in the knees, ankles and wrists which could at times be quite painful especially first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

Subject A started using the Oscill-8 three times per week for 20 minutes comprising 10 minutes standing, 4 minutes on arms (e.g press up position), 2 minutes on calf's and 4 minutes seated. Initially training was performed at a frequency of 20Hz and then built up to intensity 25-27 for the remainder of the trial.

Results for Subject A:

NOTE: The decrease in leg circumference would appear to be attributable to the overall body fat loss, whilst the increase in arm circumference was due to the increase in muscle mass.

Comments from Subject A.

"I was very pleased with the demonstration of the Oscill-8 from the Health Products Research, and also their overall professionalism, friendliness and knowledge both of the product and of the human body and its fitness requirements. The machine was of an acceptable size and did not overpower the room it was in and was both easy and simple to use.

After getting used to the initial vibration and finding a suitable, comfortable position for me to use it in (approx two sessions), I found I was quickly within a few sessions able to increase the intensity I could use it at without any discomfort or side effects whatsoever. The most apparent benefits (and these were noticed within 3 sessions) were a significant reduction in my joint pain particularly in the knees and ankles. The reduction was almost immediate i.e within minutes of coming off the machine. However what impressed me more was that the reduction and benefit would last some time at least the whole day but in some cases overnight and for a period of a few days (even though I did not use it daily).

I also found after a few weeks that my strength in terms of what I was lifting in the gym had increased – by around 15% - in particular on the bench press, and the squat exercises.

Over the weeks I also noticed a permanent reduction in waistline and also toning of the waistline, arms, thighs and calves. A few people have even commented that my face appears to be more glowing/lighter?

I would recommend this machine, and feel that there are real benefits to using it both in terms of transferable strength gain, toning, and to an extent weight loss but most of all in mobility and reduction in joint pain."

Subject B:

Female, 39 years old, housewife and mother. Currently does yoga a few times a month, as well as moderate walking and jogging once per week.

Subject B was in general good health, but slightly overweight (for her height of 5’3”), and suffered from moderate back pain, intermittent stomach cramps and slightly high blood pressure.

Subject B started using the Oscill-8 initially 3 times per week for 10 minutes, for 2 weeks, then increased to 4-5 times per week for 10-15 minutes at frequency 20-25Hz, comprising of a mixture of positions, including some yoga postures performed whilst standing on the Oscill-8’s platform.

Comments from Subject B:

"I can’t believe that I’ve lost nearly 1 stone in just 8 weeks – and the best part is, that it’s stayed off! My waist and stomach have toned so well, and my arms and legs really look more defined and slender – and my husband and all my friends have commented on how slender and toned I look, in such short a time.
The other major thing for me is that my stomach cramps are gone, and my back pain hardly happens anymore, and most surprisingly of all (and most unexpected) – even my blood pressure has gone down!
I have also found that I can jog faster and seem to be able to pick up speed more easily when running, which I put down to my legs becoming stronger…..”

Conclusion:

Oscill-8 appears to offers a variety of different benefits – ranging from those related to external toning and slimming, through to internal factors such as reduction in joint pain, lowering of high blood pressure and body fat, as well as increased joint mobility.

Other results such as weight loss and increase in overall transferable strength appear to be evident as a result of what appears to be strengthening of the body’s core musculature (including the abdominal and spinal region), as well as in major muscle groups such as the quadriceps and pectorals.

These trials also point to increased blood circulation and moderate increases in oxygen uptake, and would therefore benefit from further investigation.
