An independent and well-documented scientific study involving the Shake Weight™ technology was conducted by Dr. Daniel Cipriani, Professor at the department of Exercise Physiology at San Diego State University. The study used EMG monitoring of muscle activity during use of the Shake Weight™ compared to similar size dumbbells during traditional dumbbell exercises. All the major upper body muscles were measured. The study revealed that the Shake Weight™ causes over 300% more EMG activity than traditional dumbbells of the same weight. This is a result of the unique motion of the exercise, isometric contraction of the entire upper body required during use of the Shake Weight™ and the rapid pace of muscle fatigue causes by the routine. | Quote:
