What is Power Plate® training?
Developed to optimize the effects of Acceleration TrainingTM exercise, the Power Plate® machine is one of the most exciting technological advances made in the fields of sports, athletics, health, fitness, and beauty.
The health, fitness and sports performance industries are rife with fads and trends. Often, these products or activities rely on unfounded claims with little research or evidence to support them and the results do not justify the hype. These tend to have a short life cycle given that they are based on an overpromise and usually result in under-delivery.
However, this is not the case with an Acceleration TrainingTM workout, which has more than 30 years of practical and scientific research and numerous real-life case studies to support its efficacy. It has become increasingly clear that this training technique is valid, effective, and will continue to grow.
Based on the principles of Acceleration TrainingTM exercise, regular use of the Power Plate® machine in conjunction with an overall healthy lifestyle can help people to improve sports performance, and enhance fitness and wellness. Acceleration TrainingTM programs on Power Plate® equipment offer the following advantages:
- Reduced training time
- Increased muscle tone
- Accelerated metabolism
- Reduced cellulite
- Reduced stress
- Improvement of general health
