machines

Power Plate® machines use the
principles of Acceleration Training™
exercise to stimulate the body’s natural
response to vibration. Power Plate
machines create vibrations that cause
instability throughout the body. As these
vibrations transmit waves of energy,
a variety of muscles subconsciously
contract throughout the body. This
rapid cycle of muscle contraction and
release is what makes training with
Power Plate equipment so effective.
Acceleration Training was discovered in
the former Soviet Union, where it was
found to effectively combat the negative
effects of the zero-gravity environment
in space. Cosmonauts were faced with
considerable loss of muscle strength and
bone density from their time in space,
and Acceleration Training exercise
helped reverse these effects. However,
this new form of training was unknown in
Western Europe until after the fall of the
Iron Curtain, when Dutch sports expert
Guus van der Meer introduced the
technology, resulting in the development
of the first Power Plate model in 1999.
Since then, Power Plate technology
has been adapted for the masses so it
is now possible for everyone to enjoy
training on Power Plate machines. That
means you can strength train without
the need to add extra weights, thus
without overloading the body and its
joints. Power Plate machines are used by
everyone from high performance athletes
to the elderly, and anyone wishing
to improve their general health and
fitness levels.

Correct Use is Essential for
Optimal Results

In theor y, the Power Plate machine
can be used by almost everyone.
You can adjust training to your own
level and reduce any 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 benefits and
effects of completing a training session
on the Power Plate machine, while at
the same time reducing the risk of injury
or damage to the body.

Body posture, muscle stiffness and
muscle tension (i.e. how contracted your
muscle is) 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 exercises, such as stretch and
massage on the Power Plate machine,
don’t absorb as much vibration and
can therefore be performed on a more
frequent basis.

Acceleration Training exercise should
be used 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, the training can be
changed or intensified to keep improving
performance, whether this improvement
is desired for sports or daily life goals.

Medical Indications

Claimed medical
indications include
use in rel ation to the
prevention, treatment
and/or alleviation
of disease.

Fall Prevention
Claim: Power Plate® training can be a

beneficial tool/intervention for the elderly
population to prevent falls.

Definition: Fall prevention is defined as

a variety of actions to help reduce the
number of accidental falls suffered by
older people.

Muscular Strength and Power

Claim: Power Plate training can be

a beneficial tool/intervention to help
increase strength and power to improve
daily life performance, both acute and
structural.

Definition: Physical strength is the ability

of a person or animal to exert force
on physical objects using muscles.
Increasing physical strength is the goal
of strength training. Power is the amount
of work done or energy transferred per
unit of time.

Pain

Claim: Power Plate training can be a

beneficial tool/intervention to reduce and/
or alleviate (chronic) pain.

Definition: Pain is an unpleasant sensory

and emotional experience associated
with actual or potential tissue damage, or
described in terms of such damage.

Cellulite

Claim: Power Plate training can be a

beneficial tool/intervention to diminish the
appearance of cellulite.

Definition: Cellulite describes a condition

that occurs in men and women (although
much more common in women) where
the skin of the lower limbs, abdomen and
pelvic region becomes dimpled
after puberty.

Weight Loss

Claim: Power Plate training can be a

beneficial tool/intervention to lose weight
and specifically lose body fat.

Definition: Weight loss, in the context of

medicine, health or physical fitness, is a
reduction of the total body weight, due to
a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose
tissue and/or lean mass, namely bone
mineral deposits, muscle, tendon and
other connective tissue.

Bone Density/Bone Mineral Density

Claim: Power Plate training can be a

beneficial tool/intervention to increase
bone density and prevent bone mineral
density loss related to aging.

Definition: Bone density (or bone mineral

density) is a medical term referring to the
amount of matter per cubic centimeter
of bones.

Circulation and Cardiovascular

Claim: Power Plate training can be a

beneficial tool/intervention to improve
and increase circulation and improve the
function of the cardiovascular system.

Definition: The circulatory system is an

organ system that moves nutrients,
gases and wastes to and from cells,
helps fight diseases and helps stabilize
body temperature and pH to maintain
homeostasis. Two types of fluids move
through the circulatory system: blood
and lymph. The blood, heart and blood
vessels form the cardiovascular system.
The lymph, lymph nodes and lymph
vessels form the lymphatic system. The
cardiovascular system and the lymphatic
system collectively make up the
circulatory system. Pulmonary circulation
is the portion of the cardiovascular
system which transports oxygen­depleted blood away from the heart, to
the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood
back to the heart.

Flexibility/Range of Motion

Claim: Power Plate® training can be a

beneficial tool/intervention to improve
flexibility and range of motion.

Definition: Flexibility is the absolute

range of movement in a joint or series of
joints and muscles that is attainable in
a momentary effor t involving a partner
or a piece of equipment. The flexibility
of a joint depends on many factors,
particularly the length and looseness
of the muscles and ligaments due to
normal human variation, and the shape
of the bones and cartilage that make up
the joint.

Pathology Studies

Claim: Power Plate training can be a

beneficial tool/intervention to improve
general well being, fitness and daily life
functioning in patient populations. Power
Plate might have a positive impact on
general fitness, muscle strength, daily life
performance and well being but does not
have a direct impact on the state of the
disease or injury. It will improve patient’s
life quality.

Definition: No definition possible for this

very diverse group. Examples of patients:
Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease,
Fibromyalgia, Cerebral Palsy, Spinal Cord
Injury, Diabetes, Cardiac Rehabilitation.

G-factor™

The my7 model offers a new way

of setting the machine, called the
G-Factor™, which simplifies how
one sets the machine to operate
at various levels of intensity. The
G-Factor combines the frequencies
and amplitudes, as shown in the table
below.
The term G-factor™ is based on
g-forces as described in paragraph

1.2 Intensity Level, a combination of
frequency and amplitude.

Intensity level

The intensity at which the machine

operates can be determined by
multiplying frequency and amplitude,
which shows how fast and how far the
platform is accelerating. Acceleration
is expressed in meters per second
squared (m/s2) and can be converted to
g-forces. An acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 is
equal to a g-force of 1g.

Stretch – Readies your muscles and

connecting tissues. An excellent prep for
any workout.

Balance – Activates your mind/body

connection and increases your stabilizing
muscle strength.

Core – Engages and strengthens your

central pillar including abs, obliques and
spinal erectors.

Strength – Builds lean muscle, tones and

burns fat with both dynamic and static
style exercises.

Massage – Stimulates blood flow and

relaxes muscles while reducing post­workout fatigue.

proMOTION
Technology

™

Dynamic Vibration

How Does it Work?

proMOTION™ Dynamic Vibration
Technology uses high strength Vectran®
cables, which have been specifically
chosen for their unique ability to optimize
the transfer of vibrations generated by the
platform directly to the targeted muscle.
Specifically upper body muscles. The
Vectran cables, which pound-by-pound
are five times stronger than steel, transfer
vibration to the upper body at high-speed
frequency rates between 30 and 40 times
per second. Vectran® is a registered
trademark of Hoechst Celanese Corp

Each cable extends to more than two
meters, allowing for movement in all
planes and directions, so you can enjoy
full range of movement and infinite
dynamic exercise options.

Not only does the proMOTION optimize
the transmission of vibrations to the
targeted muscle but it also offers variable
resistance. Changing the resistance puts
more load on the muscles during the
most intense part of the movement,

offering another way to progress your
workouts by increasing the intensity of
your training. The unique gel dampening
system also increases the resistance
as you work harder.

Usage and Guidelines

As with any form of exercise, cease your
session immediately if you feel faint, dizzy
or ill while working out on the Power Plate®
machine. Always consult a doctor or
specialist before restarting your training.

As with any training routine, it is important
to start using the proMOTION on the
lowest level of resistance and with the
Power Plate machine on a low setting.
Establish a good technique before
increasing the setting on the proMOTION
from low to high.

Always pay special attention to your
posture, especially the position of your
wrists and back, and how close you are
to the Power Plate machine.
Dynamic exercises should be performed
mainly in vertical movements.

Shif t lever towards you to increase;
shif t away from you to decrease

10 11

Varying the Intensity

Training on the Power Plate machine is
like any other type of training: start with
light and short training sessions, and once
accustomed to the vibrations, one can
begin to gradually intensify the program.
We strongly recommend that you always
listen to what your own body is telling you.

The step-by-step build up of intensity is
extremely important for your training so
that it is both efficiently and responsibly.

The exercise intensity can be varied simply

by using the following variables:
Length of time for each exercise
Rest time between exercises
Number of exercises
G-Factor
Sessions per week (between 2 and

3 is optimal)
Muscle tension (how tightly contracted

the muscle is) by changing the angle of

the joint or, for example, performing the

exercise on one leg only
Complexity of movement or additional

movement (i.e., active or dynamic

movement versus only holding an

exercise position)
Additional weight or extra load, i.e.,

using a weight vest or dumbbells

How these variables are applied depends

on the individual and training goals of

the person involved. Other factors that

should be taken into account are injuries,

limitations, specific demands and/or

any other circumstances influencing the

training regimen.

In general the following progression steps

can be taken:

Exercise Time, Number of Exercises and
Rest Time

These settings depend on your training
goals. If you are new to Acceleration
Training™ sessions, we recommend
performing only a few exercises and
resting for the same amount of time as
is spent actively using the Power Plate
machine. After a while, more exercises
can be added.

When trying to accomplish weight
loss, cardiovascular or endurance
improvements, rest time can be reduced,
exercise time can be extended and the
number of exercises can be increased to
add to the total volume of training.

For recover y, flexibility and preparation, it
is better to perform specific exercises and
keep the total volume low, with enough
rest between exercises.

For strength, power and speed, the
intensity (i.e., Hertz settings) per exercise
can be increased, but the total volume
should be kept low.

Example: If you are training for endurance
or weight loss goals, you should
progressively extend the duration of
training to multiple sets of 60 seconds
each and cut the rest period to 30
seconds or less between subsequent
sets. If your goal is to achieve maximum
strength or power, you should do multiple
sets of short duration on high amplitude,
and take long rest periods, from 1 to 4
minutes.

Another important aspect is ensuring
that between training sessions, you rest
long enough to fully recover. We normally
recommend two days of rest after each
training session. It is our experience that
one day’s rest after training with
Power Plate equipment is often enough,
but every body is different and you will

have to find what works best for you.
If you feel the schedules are too easy
or too intense once you have become
accustomed to this training method, you can
adjust them to your comfort level.

G-Factor

Exercise which is selected manually has its
own preset setting and G-factor range. For
each type of exercise, we recommend the
following g-factor settings:

Stretch settings should be performed on

g-factor level 1.

Balance settings should be performed

between g-factor level 1 and 2.

Core, Strength and Massage exercises

should be performed between g-factor
level 1 and 6.

When the G-factor level is increased, the
volume of exercises should be decreased
(duration, number of sets) and the rest
period should be increased proportionally.

Mat

The mat dampens the vibrations. Always
use the mat when you have a body part in
contact with the plate surface, or if you are
exercising in socks or bare feet.

Sessions per Week

In general, we recommend performing
two to three sessions per week.
Stretches, massages, relaxation and
preparation programs can be
performed more often.

Extra Load

We recommend only adding external
load, such as using weights, if you are an
experienced Power Plate user, or if your
professional coach or trainer is supervising
your training. All of the above parameters
can be varied with the extra load. When
external load is added to your exercises
on the Power Plate® machine, amplitude
and volume of the exercises should be
decreased and the rest period should be
increased proportionally as though starting
the entire exercise progression again.

Specialized programs and additional
progression steps for individual users
should be drawn up by educated and
certified Power Plate® trainers.

Power Plate offers a variety of educational
and training materials, including DVDs,
online learning and in some countries,
specialized academies. For more
