I previously promised that if I wrote anything vaguely resembling humor in Marathon blog, I'd put a link here. Promise fulfilled.
On another subject I came across this Vibration Fitness Power machine. OK, maybe "came across" was not the best choice of words. Here are some of the features (complete with original grammatical errors):
- Machine comes a display console with 3-LED that displays time, speed and body fat Value
- Maximum user weight for up to 264 lbs (machine weights 121 lbs)
- Warranty 10 days after receiving the product
The Effects of the Power Massage Plate: 1) fat burning: because the metabolism increases by training. The vibrations reshape the body in the hip, waist and abdomen areas.2) Cellulites and cosmetics: The massage exercises loosen the agglutinations and results in better mobility of the tissue layers. The image of the skin will also improve, because the cellulites are broken down and the connective tissue is enhanced therefore it would boost your body's natural collagen production for improved skin texture.3) Rapid muscle increase: During the Training almost 100% of the muscle fibers are utilized. 4) Increase in flexibility: Due to better blood flow, heating of the muscles and the tendon stretching reflex the body becomes much more supple and relaxed. 5) Spur circulation of blood and improve your metabolism: During training, the muscles pump blood into the smallest capillaries up to 50 times per second so the cells receive fuel more rapidly and causes waste products to be disposed of much faster. 6) Coordination improvement: The receptors in the entire body are stimulated at the same time, which leads to improved coordination of the relating muscles at the same time the sense of balance are trained.7) The vibrations stimulate and move your intestines so you won't suffer from constipation anymore. 8) Improved condition: As the muscles become stronger, more is required of all the supply systems, which results in an increased efficiency of these systems. 9) Reduce your back and joint pains and builds your bone density and fight osteoporosis 10) Relieves Stress: It helps you relax with its vibration and it also can help you fight insomnia. All you need is 10 to 15 min a day to improve your health and achieve the shape you desire!And make sure you check out the picture. In the lower right, it shows the various "exercises" you can do with this giant vibrator, like stand on it, sit on it, sit on it sideways or even just put one foot on it. What the heck am I running for?

Yea! Comments are working for me right now.
When I went to your link, I saw the link below when looking at the *what other people bought that looked at this product* section. Check out this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/B000NAE648/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_helpful/002-4856842-0543206?ie=UTF8&n=3375251#customerReviews
It has a product description for a Soloflex machine that is similar. This one actually gives somewhat more detailed info on studies that have been done. And what an improvement on the warranty - 1 year instead of 10 days! Comments were also interesting as well as the guy who commented on the comments.
It does make sense to me that you can improve your stretching by having your muscles simultaneously vibrated. About a year ago, I realized that I could greatly improve my seated hamstring stretch by rotating my legs back and forth while I was doing it -- somehow this got my muscles to relax while I was stretching intead of tensing like they would otherwise. I'm guessing that the vibration could cause a similar phenomenon, perhaps to a greater degree. If my gym had something like this, I'd try it.
The other studies mentioned sound interesting, but I don't care enough to do my own google research!
Just go to a cheap hotel and put a quarter in the bed. :-)
