Power Plate allows you to adjust training to your own level and reduce any burden on
your joints, tendons and ligaments. As with every form of training, the correct use of
exercises, adjusted to your personal abilities, will determine the benets and eects of
completing a training session on Power Plate, while at the same time reducing the risk
of injury to the body. We recommend consulting your physician before beginning any
new exercise program. For your safety, please review the product instructions before
operating this, or any, functional tool. If at any time you feel faint, dizzy, nauseous,
short of breath or in pain, stop exercising immediately and consult with your physi-
cian.
Body posture, muscle stiness and muscle tension (i.e. how contracted your muscle
is) are important contributing factors in your training session. If muscles are tensed,
or contracted, they will absorb vibrations to help strengthen and tone those muscles.
Passive or active exercises, such as stretch and massage,can be performed on a more
frequent basis.
Reexive Stabilization exercise should be used on a regular basis, starting with low
intensity, which means low frequency and amplitude settings for short sessions. The
body should be gently stimulated in a way that will allow you to adjust to vibration
training, but will not overload your body. Over time, the intensity and duration can be
increased in the same manner as other progressive training programs. Once the body
has adapted to vibration, the training can be changed or intensied to keep improving
performance.
