Shake Weight, the nation’s most talked about, best-selling and most parodied fitness craze, is the centerpiece of a newly-released independent study that proves the world-famous arm-sculpting device is no laughing matter.
FitnessIQ, marketers of the Shake Weight, today disclosed findings of a scientific study conducted by Dr. Jeffrey M. Willardson, an Associate Biomechanics Professor at Eastern Illinois University (EIU). The study evaluated the effects of incorporating a six-minute Shake Weight routine in the warm-up sessions of three Division I collegiate athletic teams, measuring the device’s impact on performance. The study demonstrated that athletes across all three sports, including baseball, volleyball and soccer, improved reaction time by 10% to 17%.
