Power Plate pro5 Vibration Training Machine Power Plate pro5 Vibration Training Machine

 

Description

Add a new dimension to your workout routine with the Power Plate pro5 vibration training machine. The pro5 employs a technology called Acceleration Training to stimulate the body's natural response to vibration. The pro5 offers more settings than other Power Plate machines.These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, thereby enhancing your overall fitness in sessions as short as 15 minutes a day, three times per week. Acceleration Training offers a host of benefits, ranging from an immediate improvement in blood circulation to a variety of other measurable outcomes, including increased muscle strength and flexibility, improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased bone mineral density, reduced pain and soreness, and faster recovery from injury. Acceleration Training stimulates body's natural response to vibration.Acceleration Training works by creating instability in the human body, as with each vibration the body is forced to perform reflexive muscle actions. Furthermore, these contractions must work in multiple dimensions, as the Power Plate machines actually oscillate in all three directions, exactly as the human body is designed to do. This means that one can improve functional force (stability, strength, or power) by either applying more mass or more acceleration to the body. Many forms of training and condition use mass--as seen in methods with weight machines and free weights. Power Plate machines, by contrast, use the second half of the law of motion equation: they apply acceleration to the body while keeping mass (i.e., your body weight) the same. The result is that you work against a far greater influence, or "load," of gravity in every movement you perform. Power Plate machines are a great alternative for people who enjoy an active lifestyle but don't have the time to perform lengthy workouts three or more times a week. This particular model, the pro5, offers a larger number of settings than other Power Plate models, creating greater variation in your health and fitness routine. The larger plate surface, meanwhile, plays a similar role by providing more exposure to vibrations. As a result, the Power Plate pro5 can take you as far as you wan to go with your fitness goals, allowing you to increase vibration levels in one-step increments. Other details include 30-, 45-, and 60-second time settings; high/low vertical displacement settings; and a maximum load of 400 pounds. Backed by a commercial-grade two-year warranty and the testimony of hundreds of professional users, the pro5 measures 34 by 61 by 42 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 330 pounds.

Powerplate for Golf

Training using an exercise vibration machine is helping golfers everywhere to perform to their best ability.

Here's what Rory Sabbatini has to say about the Power Plate: "Over this past year, I have begun to address my fitness level and physical imbalances. This has directly led to better performance and higher finishes. The Power Plate® has become an important part of my transformation. I own a Power Plate® and recommend it to anyone serious about improving their game."

Vibration exercise machines can have a significant and positive impact on many aspects of golf fitness training, from stretching and flexibility to building up strength in the correct areas specific to golf.

Although Power Plate is probably the best known brand for vibration exercise platforms, there are now several other companies who produce vibration equipment just as good as the powerplate, specifically: Body Energizer, LifeSpan Fitness, Crazy Fit and Healthmark to name just a few.
