Dynamic Vibration Technology 10
Power Plate® 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 benets and eects of completing a training session on Power Plate,
while at the same time reducing 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 this, or any, functional tool.
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 (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 or active exercises, such as stretch and massage,can be performed on a more
frequent basis.
Reexive Stabilization 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 intensied to keep improving
performance.

proMOTION
™
Dynamic Vibration
Technology
How Does it Work?
proMOTION™ Dynamic Vibration
Technology uses high strength Vectran®
cables, which have been specically
chosen for their unique ability to optimize
the transfer of vibrations generated by the
platform directly to the targeted muscle
Specically upper body muscles. The
Vectran cables, which pound-by-pound
are ve times stronger than steel, transfer
vibration to the upper body at highspeed frequency rates between 25 and 50
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 innite dynamic
exercise options. WARNING: Do not extend
the cables more than 215 cm/84.64 inches
(passed the colored line). Doing so will
void your warranty.
Not only does the proMOTION optimize
the transmission of vibrations to the
targeted muscle but it also oers variable
resistance. Changing the resistance puts
more load on the muscles during the
most intense part of the movement,
oering 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. proMOTION
cables should be used within the normal
range and angle to maximize training
eect and prevent damaging the device.
The cables should be used between
90 degrees and 25 degrees from the
horizontal base.

Varying the Intensity
The correct step-by-step build up of
intensity is extremely important for your
training to be carried out both eciently
and responsibly.
For the Power Plate® pro-series models, there
are several variables that can be used to vary
the intensity:
Length of time for each exercise
•
Rest time between exercises
•
Number of exercises
•
Frequency (amount of vibrations per
•
second, measured in Hertz)
Amplitude (distance the plate moves
•
vertically per vibration)
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
The exact way of using the variables is
complex and depends on the individual and
training goals of the person involved. Other
factors that should be taken into account are
injuries, limitations, specic demands and/
or any other circumstances inuencing the
body (and mind).
In general the following progression steps
can be taken:
Exercise time, number of exercises and
rest time
These settings depend completely 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.
For recovery, exibility and preparation, it
is better to perform specic 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.
Frequency
For each type of exercise, we recommend the
following frequency settings:
•
Stretch settings should stay between 30 Hertz
and 40 Hertz
•
Strength settings should not exceed 40 Hertz
Massage settings can be the maximum, up
•
50 Hertz
•
Relaxation settings should not exceed 40 Hertz
•
When frequency is increased, the volume of
the exercises should be decreased (duration,
number of sets) and the rest period should be
increased proportionally.
Amplitude
For each type of exercise, we recommend
the following amplitude settings:
Stretch setting should be LOW
•
Strength setting should be LOW, progressing
to HIGH
•
Massage setting can be HIGH
•
Relaxation setting should be LOW
•
When amplitude is increased from Low to
•
High, frequency and volume of exercise
should be (temporarily) decreased and the
rest period increased proportionally.
English
Compliance with DENAN law Japan
Follow instructions for use
15
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.
16
Page 9
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
2 to 3 sessions per week. Stretches,
massages, relaxation and preparation
programs can be performed more often.
Extra load
Extra load, i.e., adding weights, should only
be used to increase intensity by well-trained
people or users who are being coached by
a professional. 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.
Specialised programs and additional
progression steps for individual users should
be drawn up by educated and certied
Power Plate® trainers.
Personal Adaptation
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, you can
begin to gradually intensify your program.
However, our most important advice is
to always listen to what your own body is
telling you.
Changing your exercises by using more
movements of your body and that also
correspond to your specic goals will
help increase performance even more.
You can think of increasing the angle of
the joint (which increases the contraction
of the muscle), or varying the exercises
by performing them with a variety of
still (static), active (dynamic) or jumping
(plyometric) movements.
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 dierent and you will have
to nd 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.
