What is Power-Plate?

Power-Plate generates a natural reflex

A stretch reflex occurs when a doctor taps your knee with a hammer causing your quadriceps to contract

and your foot to kick forward. Similarly the Power-Plate uses the body’s natural reflexes to cause rapid,

involuntary muscle contractions in response to the multi-dimensional vibration.

Think of it as jumping off a step and the muscles reacting to the impact of hitting the ground, and then

imagine doing so at up to 50 steps every second. In this way, results that are usually very hard to achieve

with conventional exercise, are easily achieved with the Power-Plate.

Power-Plate increases the acceleration factor (f=m x a)

Weight resistance training has for years been the only way to become physically stronger and looking

good. Weight training increases the force that one needs to resist in order to become stronger.

Power-Plate increases gravitational force exponentially by increasing the acceleration factor as opposed to

mass as per the equation above. This puts much less strain on the ligaments and muscular-skeletal

system resulting in shorter, less exhausting sessions.

The lowest machine setting effectively doubles the effect of gravity meaning that weights are not required

to increase the downward force during exercise. For example, a 70kg person doing a squat has to carry a

60kg barbell in gym to generate the same force as on the Power-Plate with no weight, on the lowest setting.

Because it works on a reflex basis, almost 100% of all muscle fibres are recruited against less than 50%

for the average person engaged in conventional training.

Effects

•

Power-Plate

•

Power-Plate is especially beneficial in strengthening the stablisers, core and deep tissue which is difficult to train with conventional methods.

•

Power-Plate loosens up coagulated tissues and adhesions, breaks down fat cells, improves the mobility of tissue layers, breaks down cellulite, reinforces connective tissue and improves skin tone.

•

An immediate and substantial increase in blood circulation as a result of the muscle pump effect feeds the muscles and cells with essential nutrients and oxygen, and removes waste products at a very high rate through the lymph drainage system.

•

Research has shown that Power-Plate stimulates the growth of bone tissue, reducing and even reversing the effects of osteoporosis. Combined with stronger muscles and improved sense of balance, it reduces the risk of falling.

•

The intense training stimulates the body to produce high levels of human growth hormone testosterone and IGF-1, which are essential in repairing and regenerating the body, burning fat and keeping the body young.

•

Power-Plate decreases cortisol levels, while it stimulates the release of the “feel-good” hormones serotonin and neurotrophine, which make us feel good and support our thinking processes
