body blade(BB)
The Body-blade (Classic, Mad Dogg Athletics, USA), an elastic pole exercise tool with 122 cm in length, 0.68 kg, 4.3 cm in width,based on oscillatory/vibration motions that have been used in training or rehabilitation.The body blade works by rapidly changing directions at a low-frequency rhythm of approximately 4.5 Hz (cycles per second )
