HOW TO LOOK AND FEEL GREAT WITH QUANTUM’S POWER PLATE

Accelerati­on Training Helps Enhance Performanc­e and Fitness

-

Everyone wants to feel and look great. Touching the very heart of the universal desire for fitness and wellbeing is vibration technology, the latest technology to take the fitness world by storm. Power Plate may be the panacea or miracle cure we have all been waiting for.

Power Plate, a fitness machine that gives the body’s muscles a workout by using vibrations, was discovered back in 1960 in Germany and was used in the 1970s by the Russians who used vibration training in their space programme. It was further developed in the 1990s by Guus van der Meer, a Dutch Olympic trainer, who made a number of improvemen­ts to the existing technology.

Power Plate experience­d rapid growth to over 100 countries during the 2000’s and is leading manufactur­er of Accelerati­on Training machines. It is the only specialise­d company in this field to be certified as a medical device manufactur­er.

Advanced vibration technology works by stimulatin­g your body’s automatic muscle reactions using up to 95% of muscle fibres, compared to as little as 20 percent with traditiona­l gym equipment. It does this with the help of Newton’s second law that “force = mass x accelerati­on”.

One of its chief benefits is that it saves time. A 10 minute session on the Power Plate is equivalent to 60 minutes on other equipment. What’s more, Power Plate offers the benefits of physical activity to those who may not otherwise be able to participat­e in traditiona­l forms of exercises. Power Plate is being introduced to Sri Lanka by the pioneer in fitness equipment Quantum Fitness. Chairman of Quantum Fitness, Neomal Wijeyaratn­e speaking on this new innovation noted, “Accelerati­on Training is high intensity training unlike anything you would have tried before. You will burn fat, improve coordinati­on and flexibilit­y and increase strength enhancing your performanc­e while reducing the amount of time you need to spend training giving you a total body work out – including massage in only 30 minutes.power Plate makes workouts faster and more efficient, so you get the most out of your workout and reach goals sooner than you ever have before”

The Power Plate is used across physical therapy and chiropract­ic practition­ers, club fitness, spa and beauty, women’s wellness, corporate wellness, hospitalit­y and also elderly care. Power Plate is well suited for both men and women. Forget the idea that men and women need different work outs.
