Power Plate Training

The Power-Plate is one of the most exciting technological advances in the fields of sports medicine, athletics, health and fitness.

Using the principles of Whole Body Vibration (WBV) training, the Power-Plate can help people to improve sports performance, enhance fitness and wellness and even accelerate recovery from injury.

The Health and Fitness and Sports Performance industries are rife with fads and trends. Often, these products or activities rely on unfounded claims with little research or evidence to support them and results do not justify the hype.

This is not the case with WBV training, which has more than 30 years of practical and scientific research to support its efficacy. It has become increasingly clear that this training technique is valid, effective and will continue to grow.

Whole Body Vibration training provides the following advantages:

• Shorter training time for similar results
• Increased muscle strength
• Improved flexibility
• Intense stimulation and increase of neurological system
• Increased blood circulation
• Aids in the reduction of pain
• Increased bone mineral density
• Increased levels of key hormones -- Testosterone, Human Growth Hormone, IGF-I and Serotonin
• Massage applications
• Decrease in Cortisol levels (stress hormones)
• Increase in balance and coordination.

As research continues, we are learning even more about the benefits of WBV training. Although studies use different variables in vibration and methodology, they all point to the benefits of using WBV.

As our understanding of this type of training increases, the implications in terms of who could derive benefit from it also become clearer. As a result of this, new research is being conducted into the use of the Power-Plate in a health and fitness environment.

Certified therapists who have successfully completed the requirements of the Power Plate training protocol conduct Power Plate training. Each participant is screened for contraindications at the onset of any training program as well as during the course of the program. All participants must go through the acclimation period to allow the body to adjust to the G-force that the plate generates.
