Sound provides feedback
Acoustic feedback on the vibrations. If the sound is consistant, the RC-FIT® CLASSIC is being correctly used. The required flow and pressure fluctuations are being achieved.
Oscillations / vibrations
With vibration training, the muscles contract automatically via a reflex. Training with the RC-FIT® CLASSIC is thus found to be less strenuous (than without vibrations).
