Total Body Vibration is an accepted accelerated exercise & training approach that has been used throughout Europe for over a decade. It allows you to speed up your workout by utilizing your reflexive muscle actions in multiple directions. The net result is an incredible improvement in force production- strength and power.
Power Plate invented the technology and patented it.
The principle by which Power Plate® machines work lies in the law of motion, stated by Sir Isaac Newton: that the force of an object is equal to its mass multiplied by acceleration, or f = m x a. What this means is that one can improve functional force (stability, strength or power) by either applying more mass or more acceleration to the body. Many forms of training and conditioning use mass - as seen in methods with weight machines, free weights, etc. Power Plate® machines, instead, use the second half of this equation, by applying acceleration to the body, while keeping mass, i.e. your body weight, the same.
A true breakthrough in exercise.
This is a real breakthrough in training and conditioning as we can now optimally “load” the human frame while minimizing high impact, high load, and high stress factors. Gravity is the force that adds load to the human body every second of every day for every movement we perform. Through Acceleration Training™ exercise, Power Plate® machines make the body feel as though it “weighs” more every time acceleration forces increase.
Used by hospital rehab departments, major athletic teams, and now coming to fitness centers and homes in the U.S.
There are over 800 clinical studies of the positive result of Total Body Vibration, from speeded recovery from ACL surgery to the reduction of the incidence of falls in the elderly to increased speed and agility for athletes. This is not an exercise gimmick, but rather the newest technology that finally creates a way to make workouts go faster with better results.
