Once believed to be nothing more than a fad, Power Plate brand Vibration Training has now become well established in the fitness industry. Thanks to numerous scientific studies demonstrating the benefits of whole body vibration training, a growing number of athletes have turned to Power Plate equipment to help them get the most out of their workout.
“While Power Plate equipment is popular among athletes because it helps intensify their work out, they are also gaining in popularity among those who just want to lead a healthier lifestyle or who want to fend off the signs of aging,” said Bryan Dorksen, Co-Owner of At Home Fitness in Arizona.
By stimulating the body’s natural response to vibration, Power Plates activate muscle contractions to between 25 and 50 contractions per second. These increased contractions provide the user with a number of different benefits. Some of these include:
+ Improved blood circulation
+ Increased muscle strength
+ Improved flexibility
+ Increased range of motion
+ Decreased cellulite
+ Increased bone mineral density
+ Reduced pain and soreness
For serious athletes, the Power Plate equipment such as the Power Plate Pro 5 makes it possible to get a more effective workout within a shorter period of time. The equipment also helps athletes enjoy a speedy recovery and regeneration time.
“The positive effect that Power Plate vibration training has on athletes has been well documented through independent scientific research,” continued Bryan. “In fact, professional sports teams around the world use Power Plate equipment as part of their strength and conditioning programs. Some athletes use the machine as part of their warm up routine as well.”
As part of a warm up regimen, Power Plate vibration training helps to increase the athlete’s explosive strength, muscular endurance, motor learning and agility. Those who are not athletes can also benefit from Power Plate vibration, however, as research has also shown that using the equipment helps to reduce stress hormones while also increasing metabolism and elevating Human Growth Hormone. By oxygenating blood flow and increasing circulation, Power Plate whole body vibration also reduces the appearance of cellulite while also preventing the loss of muscle due to age.
