Power Plate Exercise
Power-Plate is a piece of exercise equipment common in many gyms. It consists of a vibrating base, with a handle on it, which looks a lot like a treadmill, but not as large. Traditional exercises such as squats and pushups are done on the vibrating base. The motion makes the exercises harder to hold. People typically do a series of exercises for one minute each on the machine.
Proponents of this machine claim that the vibrations cause an automatic reflex muscle contraction of 30-50 a second compared to once or twice a second normally. Many fitness professionals are sceptical of the claims made for this machine, and question the quality of the studies proving its efficiency.
Only 10 minutes on the Power-Plate will have the same results as an hour of conventional training. In order to develop strength, power, muscle tone and definition, conventional exercises are conducted putting tension on the muscles while standing on the Power-Plate.
Power Plate® machines are a great alternative for people who enjoy an active lifestyle, but do not have the time for a lengthy work-out three or more times a week. Acceleration Training™ exercise using Power Plate® machines offers a number of important benefits that will help fitness goals easily be achieved or exceeded. These benefits include measurable outcomes, such as increased muscle strength and flexibility, better core conditioning and stability.
