Power Plate: Health and Wellness Weight Loss and Reduction in Visceral Fat (Belly Fat): a study at the University of Antwerp in Belgium found that people who trained on Power Plate and dieted were more successful with losing weight and maintaining that weight loss 6 months later than those subjects who combined traditional exercise with dieting or than those who simply dieted. Even more exciting was the reduction of belly fat (which is associated with a higher risk of strokes; diabetes and heart disease) was triple that compared to the conventional training group and double that of the dieters only group. With traditional weight training heavy weights are lifted in order to develop the muscles. For many people this is not an option particularly if they are injured or have a restrictive disease. Exercising on the Power Plate causes the muscles to contract and relax involuntarily making it possible to stregthen muscles with low risk to the joints and with less strain. MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS is a chronic, infllammatory disease that affects the central nervous system. It effects the neurons; the cells in the brain and the spinal cord that carry information and allow the brain to control the body. MS causes the destruction of the myelin sheath (which carry electrical signals) in patches throughout the brain and spinal cord. This scarring can effect muscle weakness; tremors; numbness; balance etc. There are several conditions that restrict someone with MS from traditional exercising - heat sensitivity; lack of balance; spaciticy. Power Plate can help in a number of areas - fighting atrophy; improving muscle coordination by inducing motor units to turn on at the right time and speed; relieving depression by increasing seratonin; improving bladder control. Call for more complete programming if you are dealing with MS. ARTHRITIS is a disorder that effects the joints; muscles; tendons; capsules and connective tissue. Constant pain, stiffness and swelling of the joints are common. Arthritis can be divided into three groups: Inflammatory Arthritis which causes long term inflammation of the joints where the immune system attacts itself; Wear and Tear Arthritis where the cartilage is damaged possibly from heavy labour or excessive weight resulting in forming projections (bone spurs) and causing inflammation; Soft Tissue Arthritis affects the muscles; tendons; ligaments; disc and capsules rather than the joints. Examples are polymyalgia and fibromyalgia. This can be a result of heavy labour or sports but often from general exhaustion, lack of sleep or psychological stress. Exercising on the Power Plate can stimulate cartilage making it possible to retain its normal function; improve circulation by increasing blood flow and getting nutrients and oxygen to cartilage and joints to aid in increased movement with less pain. Muscles, ligaments and tendons are important shock absorbers and help stabalize the joints. These areas can be stregthened without applying excessive weight.We offer specific guildlines for training on the Power Plate for arthritis suffers. PARKINSON'S disease is a central nervous disorder with symptoms including tremors, muscle rigidity or stiffness, balance problems, fatigue, sleep disturbances and gait problems.Theories on the cause of Parkinson's include a dopomine deficiency in the brain making the body unable to control muscle tension and movement resulting in stiffness and tremors. Attributing factors may be genetic, environmental toxins and head trauma. Power Plate can help with stability and coordination and increase the release of serotonin to help fight depression. The production of vibrations at 25 to 50 per second cause the muscles to contract reflexively causing more motor units to fire at the right time and speed with better synchronization to help improve motor coordination and reaction time. |
