Body Vibration Shakers & Power Plates

How does it work?

Acceleration Training with Power Plate machines create stability in the human body, as with each vibration the body is forced to perform reflexive muscle actions 25 to 50 times per second. Furthermore, these contractions must work in multiple dimensions as the Power Plate machines actually oscillate in all three planes, exactly as the human body is designed to do. The end result is an incredible improvement in force production, or strength and power.

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. The difference with Power Plate machines is that they use the second half of this equation, by applying acceleration to the body, while keeping mass, i.e. your body weight, the same.

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.

The result is that you work against a far greater influence or "load" of gravity in every movement you perform. This is the essence of all strength and conditioning programs and Power Plate machines simply use a different part of the same equation to achieve this! In fact, the amazing outcomes seen with Acceleration Training exercise respect the same biological and physiological laws of the body as witnessed in other forms of training. The difference is merely the nature of the stimulus applied (i.e. acceleration), and not the human response.

Effects

Activated circulation

During a Plate program the muscles work as a pump that introduces blood into even the smallest blood vessels at up to 50 times per second. This ensures that cells are provided with fuel very rapidly. As a result, the body will also carry off waste products much faster, leading to improved regeneration.

Increase metabolism and accelerate fat loss

Using the Shaker-Plate will intensify fat burning and improve the basic metabolism, reducing the subcutaneous layers of fat. Special massage exercises will also target specific problem areas.

Muscle strength improving

During a Plate program almost 100% of all muscle fibres in all muscle groups involved are activated. Clearly increasing both strength and muscle stamina.

Pain reducing

Due to increased blood circulation and the extra stimulation of the nerves, pain is diminished. The increase in muscle tension during training often leads to a reduction of residual tension which also reduces pain.

Flexibility increasing

Intense circulation and warming of the muscles and tendons will enhance flexibility of the body as well as loosening tension, coagulation and adhesion of body tissues.

Improved fitness

As the muscle tissue gets stronger, more will be required of the supply systems in the body, including the heart. This will lead to improved efficiency of all of these systems.

Bone density increasing

The Shaker Plate stimulates the growth of bone tissue. Scientific research has shown that bone-density increases after training on the Shaker Plate. Combined with stronger muscles and an improved sense of balance it offers a positive contribution to the battle against osteoporosis and reduces the risk of falling for the elderly in particular.

Cellulite and cosmetic consequences

Massage programs on the Plate loosen up coagulated tissues and adhesions, break down fat cells and improve the mobility of tissue layers. As cellulite is broken down and the connective tissue is reinforced, the skin tone will improve.

Improved coordination

Since all receptors in the body are stimulated simultaneously, both the inter- and intra-muscular coordination will improve. Reactions and sense of balance are also developed causing an immediate improvement in overall health.

Portable Power Plate

This instrument produces helix circulation, which is a vortex force field that is vertical to the ground, creating continuous upward revolutions that increase gravitation. This force field is brought into the human body, which then increases blood and oxygen circulation in the body. This enables the blood to freely help the body circulate and remove toxins, regulates the pulse, improves metabolism and rebuilds a healthy body.
