Shaking up Fitness-The benefits of Total Vibration Technology
We’re not talking about the old school band you put around your waist or your thighs and it allegedly shakes the fat off your body. We are talking about the Power Plate and vibration technology. These next series of articles will look at the several of the benefits associated with using total vibration technology to achieve one’s fitness goals.
Before we discuss the benefits, I feel it is important to explain the piece of equipment we use to for total vibration training.
The Power Plate is a vibrating platform that stimulates muscles 95-97% where the general population only stimulates 30-40% when doing conventional lifting. This occurs do to the unique displacement the machine places on the individual. It not only moves up and down 70% it also moves 10% in the frontal plane and 20% in the sagital plane.
Depending on the frequency (30, 35, 40, 50 hertz) or the amplitude (high/low), one can place any where from 2x to over 6x the force of gravity on the body. This is important because according to Newton’s Law: Force=Mass x Acceleration. For our purposes, force is the same as work, mass is equivalent to weight.
