Sports and Fitness Training

Good Vibrations' Power Plate machines are a great alternative for people who enjoy an active lifestyle, but don’t have time for a lengthy work-out three or more times a week. Vibration training offers a number of important benefits that will help you achieve and exceed your fitness goals easily. These benefits range from an immediate improvement in blood circulation, to a variety of other measurable outcomes, such as increased muscle strength and flexibility, better range of motion, better core conditioning and stability, and faster recovery and regeneration.

The equivalent of 60 minutes of conventional strenuous exercise can be achieved in just 20 minutes.  It is so effective; three 20 minute sessions a week are enough to make a significant difference!

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 Good Vibrations Power Plate machines build on and enhance the results of conventional training and explosive strength training.

In addition this revolutionary vibration training can be used to speed recovery from sporting injuries. Bristol Rugby Club are regular users of Good Vibrations Power Plate machines for these reasons.

Following extensive academic and independent scientific research, professional sports teams throughout the world now use Power Plate machines as part of their strength, conditioning and rehabilitation programs.

In addition to being an ideal pre-event warm up tool, Power Plate machines are an excellent means of continuously maximising peak performance. As the vibrations stimulate fast-twitch muscle fibres, athletes who use Power Plate machines over time experience a dramatic increase in explosive strength, motor learning, muscular endurance and overall agility.

How does it work?

With the simple touch of a button, the Power Plate turns into a pleasantly vibrating platform.  Very rapid vibrations are transferred to targeted muscles in the body causing them to contract in a reflex action.  Different parts of the body are put in contact with the platform in various exercise positions ranging from squats, lunges and push-ups to abdominal crunches, triceps dips or bicep curls.  A pose is held for just 30 seconds at a time activating multiple muscle groups to simultaneously stretch, tone and strengthen.  Exercises can be performed standing, sitting or lying down and in just 20 minutes the equivalent of 60 minutes of conventional strenuous exercise can be achieved. 

Vibration training is low impact and gentle enabling anyone, regardless of their age or fitness levels to benefit without putting strain on joints or other parts of the body.
