:
Whether
you are an amateur or professional athlete, a senior, or rehabilitating
from an injury, Power Plate Training is for you. Vibration training
was brought to the forefront by Russian scientists to counter
the lack of gravity in space which allowed their cosmonauts to
return from space as fragile and feeble.
The enforced vibrations caused by a vibrating platform create
a reflex contraction of the muscles involved. The speed of movement
increase the gravity effect up to six times its normal value.
In other words, it is possible to perform a very intensive work
out without using additional weights.
Regular vibration training results in an increase in strengthen,
increased metabolism, improved circulation, muscle relaxation,
increased flexibility, bone density and general well being. Company
sponsored research shows, positive hormonal effects, pain reduction
and improved lymphatic drainage. See www.powerplateusa.com.
