Vibration training changes the game! With up to 40 muscle contractions per second, it's like cheating!

 

Acceleration training is an advanced way to increase the force put into the body for training or recovery purposes. Vibration training can achieve a high volume of work and force, in a short time. Whole Body Vibration training was originally developed to help astronauts with muscle wasting and bone density loss, after living in a zero gravity environment in space.  The Powerplate has been around for over 15 years and is a well-regarded, certified medical device.

 

To understand how acceleration training works, we need to take note of Newton's Second Law:

 

Force = Mass x Acceleration

 

Recognising this equation, you can increase the force applied to the body, by increasing the mass (traditional weight lifting) or by increasing the acceleration of movement which is how the Powerplate works. Powerplate allows you accelerate movement and put between 25-50 hertz through your body, which is the equivalent of 25-50 vibrations or muscle contractions, per second. Accelerated movement, equates to more force in your system.

 

The Powerplate vibrates in 3 dimensions very quickly, over very small distances so that you don’t feel overwhelmed. As the Powerplate vibrates up and down, it increases your gravitational pull or relative G-Force. In this way we can apply up to 8 G-Force, or 8 x body weight to your system, just by standing on the Powerplate platform.
