Introduction
Power Plate
®
machines use the
principles of Acceleration Training
exercise to stimulate the body’s natural
response to vibration. Power Plate
machines create vibrations that cause
instability throughout the body. As these
vibrations transmit waves of energy,
a variety of muscles subconsciously
contract throughout the body. This
rapid cycle of muscle contraction and
release is what makes training with
Power Plate equipment so effective.
Acceleration Training was discovered in
the former Soviet Union, where it was
found to effectively combat the negative
effects of the zero-gravity environment
in space. Cosmonauts were faced with
considerable loss of muscle strength and
bone density from their time in space,
and Acceleration Training exercise
helped reverse these effects. However,
this new form of training was unknown in
Western Europe until after the fall of the
Iron Curtain, when Dutch sports expert
Guus van der Meer introduced the
technology, resulting in the development
of the rst Power Plate model in 1999.
Since then, Power Plate technology
has been adapted for the masses so it
is now possible for everyone to enjoy
training on Power Plate machines. That
means you can strength train without
the need to add extra weights, thus
without overloading the body and its
joints. Power Plate machines are used by
everyone from high performance athletes
to the elderly, and anyone wishing
to improve their general health and
tness levels.
Correct Use is Essential for
Optimal Results
In theory, the Power Plate machine
can be used by almost everyone.
You can adjust training to your own
level and reduce any burden on your
joints, tendons and ligaments. As with
every form of training, the correct use
of exercises, adjusted to your personal
abilities, will determine the benets and
effects of completing a training session
on the Power Plate machine, while at
the same time reducing the risk of injury
or damage to the body.
Body posture, muscle stiffness and
muscle tension (i.e. how contracted your
muscle is) are important contributing
factors in your training session. If
muscles are tensed, or contracted,
they will absorb vibrations to help
strengthen and tone those muscles.
Passive exercises, such as stretch and
massage on the Power Plate machine,
don’t absorb as much vibration and
can therefore be performed on a more
frequent basis.
Acceleration Training exercise should
be used on a regular basis, starting
with low intensity, which means low
frequency and amplitude settings for
short sessions. The body should be
gently stimulated in a way that will allow
you to adjust to vibration training, but will
not overload your body. Over time, the
intensity and duration can be increased
in the same manner as other progressive
training programs. Once the body has
adapted to vibration, the training can be
changed or intensied to keep improving
performance, whether this improvement
is desired for sports or daily life goals.
