What is Power Plate ®?
Power Plate ® is a vibration-training machine, which was originally developed for the Russian cosmonauts back in the 1970;s, where it was successfully used to improve bone density & reinforce their muscles enabling them to spend an astounding 420 days in space.
The Power Plate ® uses the principles of Acceleration Training™ to stimulate the body's natural response to vibration. The vibrations that the Power Plate ® produces, transmit waves of energy throughout the body causing the muscles to contract in a natural stretch reflex 30 to 50 times per second. Due to this intensity it means that a full body work-out can be completed in as little as 15 minutes and results can be seen in a third of the time compared to conventional exercise.
A static or dynamic pose, held for up to 60 seconds at a time, activates multiple muscle groups simultaneously increasing metabolism, muscle tone and strength and bone density. It also improves circulation, flexibility, range of motion, co-ordination, cellulite & fitness levels within a short space of time.
In addition to increasing strength and agility, Acceleration Training™ on the Power Plate ® encourages hormone release for promoting recovery and regeneration of damaged tissue, so reducing sports injuries, speeding up rehabilitation and shortening the healing time.
