MIDA catalog contribution-to-load range

A muscle’s percentage contribution to holding the exercise in a phase — a min–max range from the MIDA catalog.

EN: Muscle contribution (MIDA)

Normalized load share of a body part (arms / back / chest+abs / legs) in holding the load.

EN: Body-part load share

Vibrobar mass: tube + eccentrics + shaft + motor + counterweight + other parts

Computed vibrobar total mass; reference 7316.17 g, ~10% accuracy off-reference.

EN: Vibrobar mass (Mvg)

Keeping the working frequency away from resonances: r = f_work / f_mode stays far from 1.

EN: Frequency detuning

The eccentric rotation frequency of the operating mode, set in the vibro profile (10–200 Hz); a green marker on the sweep chart.

EN: Working frequency

0/25/50/75/100% of the trajectory (agreed variant 'a')

A key point of the isometric exercise cycle: 0% start, 25/50/75% intermediate, 100% finish.

EN: Exercise phase

18–33 Hz; separate vibroreceptor band 100–109 Hz

The frequency band with expected training effect (literature: Volchek, Kurchanova); shown as the yellow band on the sweep chart.

EN: Physiological frequency band (physio band)

Two vertical bar anchors per Alexander Zass’s method

Chains pull only: static tension ΣT = P − Mvg·g; above the slack onset (T_dyn ≥ T_stat) the chain slaps.

EN: Zass chains

The sweep — a continuous pass over the full frequency range: all response curves computed 10–200 Hz (381 points) with the real machine force F₀(f) ∝ ω². “Peak of the …

EN: Frequency sweep

Unbalance mass on the synchronization shaft

A mass with offset center of gravity: F_ecc = m·e·ω² — the main vibration source; a pair gives F₀ = 2·F_ecc.

EN: Eccentric (vibrobar unbalance)

Amino Acids

Nutrition

Amino acids — building blocks of proteins, including essential (EAA).

EN: Amino Acids

BCAA

Nutrition

Branched-Chain Amino Acids

Branched-chain amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, valine.

EN: BCAA

BMR

Nutrition

Basal Metabolic Rate

Basal metabolic rate — energy expenditure at rest sustaining life.

EN: BMR

Calorie

Nutrition

Calorie — unit of food energy; 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ.

EN: Calorie

Creatine

Nutrition

Creatine — supplement boosting phosphocreatine stores and short-effort strength.

EN: Creatine

EPOC

Nutrition

Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption

Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption — extra energy expenditure after exercise.

EN: EPOC

Glucose

Nutrition

Glucose — the main blood monosaccharide and energy source.

EN: Glucose

Glycogen

Nutrition

Glycogen — the storage form of carbohydrate in muscles and liver.

EN: Glycogen

Macros

Nutrition

Macronutrients

Macronutrients — protein, fat and carbohydrate making up calorie intake.

EN: Macros

Protein

Nutrition

Protein — the main building material for muscle; 1 g yields 4 kcal.
