Introduction
Power Plate® may be used by almost everyone. Power Plate allows you to adjust training to your
own level and reduce the burden on your joints, tendons and ligaments. As with every form of
training, the correct use of exercises, adjusted to your personal abilities, will determine the
benets and eects of completing a training session on Power Plate, while at the same time,
Power Plate reduces the risk of injury to the body.
We recommend consulting your physician before beginning any new exercise program. For your
safety, please review the product instructions before operating Power Plate. If at any time you feel
faint, dizzy, nauseous, short of breath or in pain, stop exercising immediately and consult with
your physician.
Body posture, muscle stiness and muscle tension are important contributing factors in your
training session. If muscles are tensed, or contracted, they will absorb vibrations to help
strengthen and tone those muscles. Passive or active exercises, such as stretch and massage, can
be performed on a more frequent basis.
Exercise should be performed on a regular basis, starting with low intensity, which means low
frequency and amplitude settings for short sessions. The body should be gently stimulated in a
way that will allow you to adjust to vibration training, but will not overload your body. Over time,
the intensity and duration can be increased in the same manner as other
progressive training programs. Once the body has adapted to vibration, training can be
changed or intensied to keep improving performance.
