Power plate
(Kraftplattform)
A device for vibration training is presented.
The POWER PLATE produces a vibration through whitch energy is transferred to the human body. This mechanical stimulus produces a stretch reflex whitch, depending on the select frequency, can vary from 30-60 time per second, resulting in rapid and intense muscle contraction. Exercice makes the body tired, rest allows it to recover. By repeating this process, the body adjust to the effort, resulting in an increase in physical performance.

This phenomemon, called supercompensation, similary occurs when training on the POWER PLATE. However, the duration of training is much shorter, the effect is greater and hormonal production is increased. All of this is achieved with only a fraction of the stress on the locomotive system compared to conventional training methods.
The effects of body vibration and the results of several studies are shown (e.g. that vibration training increases muscles strength by 20 to 30% more than with conventional power training, while training duration is 85% shorter).
