<p align="center"><strong><font color="#333333">NEW &#8220;POWER PLATE&#8221; WORKOUTS RAISING THE ROOF ON THE LATEST IN TECHNOLOGY!</font></strong></p>
<p align="center"><b><i></i></b></p>
<p> <strong><em><u><font color="#000080">How Does It Work?</font></u></em></strong><br />
Acceleration Training<sup>TM</sup> with Power Plate® machines creates instability in the human body, as with each vibration the body is forced to perform reflexive muscle actions, 25 to 50 times per second. Furthermore, these contractions must work in multiple dimensions as the Power Plate® machines actually oscillate in all three planes, exactly as the human body is designed to do. The net result is an incredible improvement in force production, or strength and power.</p>
<p>The principle by which Power Plate® machines work lies in the law of motion, stated by Sir Isaac Newton: that the force of an object is equal to its mass multiplied by acceleration, or f = m x a. What this means is that one can improve functional force (stability, strength or power) by either applying more mass or more acceleration to the body. Many forms of training and conditioning use mass &#8211; as seen in methods with weight machines, free weights, etc. Power Plate® machines, instead, use the second half of this equation, by applying acceleration to the body, while keeping mass, i.e. your body weight, the same.</p>
<p>This is a real breakthrough in training and conditioning as we can now optimally &#8220;load&#8221; the human frame while minimizing high impact, high load, and high stress factors.  Gravity is the force that adds load to the human body every second of every day for every movement we perform. Through Acceleration Training<sup>TM</sup> exercise, Power Plate® machines make the body feel as though it &#8220;weighs&#8221; more every time acceleration forces increase.</p>
<p>The result is that you work against a far greater influence or &#8220;load&#8221; of gravity in every movement you perform. This is the essence of all strength and conditioning programs and Power Plate® machines simply use a different part of the same equation to achieve this! In fact, the amazing outcomes seen with Acceleration Training<sup>TM</sup> exercise respect the same biological and physiological laws of the body as witnessed in other forms of training. The difference is merely the nature of the stimulus applied (i.e. acceleration), and not the human response.</p>
<p><font color="#000080"><strong><em><u>Fitness : Sports Performance</u></em></strong><br />
</font>Top athletes and everyday sports enthusiasts are always looking for better ways to train their body and gain a competitive edge. For serious athletes, workouts on the Power Plate® machines enhance the results of conventional training and explosive strength training, as well as serve athletes and trainers alike to speed recovery and regeneration times. Because of the extensive academic and independent scientific research, professional sports teams throughout the world use Power Plate® machines as part of their strength, conditioning and rehabilitation programs.</p>
<p>Acceleration Training<sup>TM</sup> exercise is designed to dramatically enhance sports training as both a supplement to and an alternative form of training. In just minutes, range of motion and stability can increase, providing a perfect warm-up before training or competing. In addition to being an ideal pre-event tool, Power Plate® machines are an excellent means of continuously maximizing performance. As the vibrations stimulate fast-twitch muscle fibers, athletes who use Power Plate® machines over time experience a dramatic increase in explosive strength, motor learning, muscular endurance and overall agility.</p>
<p><strong><em><font color="#000080">Wellness : Spa / Beauty<br />
</font></em></strong>More than just an exercise and rehabilitation machine, Power Plate® machines offer the capacity for whole body massage and relaxation. Not only can Power Plate® machines passively work all the muscle groups in the body, but they can reduce stress by decreasing cortisol levels while raising levels of serotonin. Using Power Plate® machines helps increase circulation and oxygenate blood flow, leading to a decrease in toxins in the body, which causes a reduction in the appearance of cellulite. It also helps the body by increasing bone mineral density to fight osteoporosis, and increasing the production of collagen to encourage firmer, smoother skin. These benefits contribute significantly to the complete spa experience.</p>
<p><strong><em><u><font color="#000080">Medical : Rehabilitation<br />
</font></u></em></strong>Not only can Acceleration Training<sup>TM</sup> exercise using Power Plate® machines prevent injuries, it can help rehabilitate them as well. Many professional sports teams have found Power Plate® machines to be indispensable for rehabilitation. The ability to strengthen muscles without strain on joints and ligaments can be extremely valuable for patients with rehabilitation needs. Increased blood circulation helps bring oxygen to inflamed areas to promote healing, while improved lymphatic flow helps drain fluid build-up from injured tissue. Physical therapists around the world have found the benefits of Power Plate® machines invaluable in their practices.</p>
