INTRODUCTION
Power Plate
®
machines use the principles of Acceleration Training™ exercise to stimulate the body’s natural
response to vibration. Power Plate
®
machines create vibrations that cause instability throughout the body. As
these vibrations transmit waves of energy, a variety of muscles subconsciously contract to stabilize the body. This
rapid cycle of muscle contraction and release is what makes training with Power Plate
®
equipment so effective.
Acceleration Training™ was discovered in the former Soviet Union, where it was found to effectively combat
the negative effects of the zero-gravity environment in space. Cosmonauts were faced with considerable loss
of muscle strength and bone density from their time in space, and Acceleration Training™ exercise apparently
helped reverse these effects. However, this new form of training was unknown in Western Europe until after the
fall of the Iron Curtain, when the Dutch sports expert Guus van der Meer introduced the technology, resulting
in the development of the first Power Plate
®
model in 1999. Since then, Power Plate
®
technology has been
adapted for the masses so it is now possible for everyone to enjoy training on Power Plate
®
machines. That
means you can strength train without the need to add extra weights, thus without overloading the body and its
joints. Power Plate
®
machines everybody from high-level, high-performance athletes, to the elderly, to those
simply wishing to improve their general health and fitness levels.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Users of the Power Plate
®
pro5 AIRdaptive machine will find special sections in this user manual placed in
a box with the AIRdaptive logo, describing the specifics of their model.
CORRECT USE IS ESSENTIAL FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS
In theory, the Power Plate
®
machine can be used by almost everyone. You can 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 benefits and effects of completing a training
session on the Power Plate
®
machine, while at the same time avoiding risks of injury or damage to the body.
Body posture, muscle stiffness 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 exercises, such as stretch and massage on the Power Plate
®
machine, don’t
absorb as much vibration and can therefore be performed on a more frequent basis.
This is why Acceleration Training™ exercise should be used on a regular basis, starting with low intensity, which
means low frequency 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 intensified to keep improving performance, whether this improvement is desired for sports or
daily life goals.

VARYING THE INTENSITY
The correct step-by-step build up of intensity is extremely important for your training to be carried out both efficiently
and responsibly.
For the Power Plate
®
pro-series models, there are several variables that can be used to vary the intensity:
•Lengthoftimeforeachexercise
•Resttimebetweenexercises
•Numberofexercises
•Frequency(amountofvibrationspersecond,measuredinHertz)
•Amplitude(distancetheplatemovesverticallypervibration)
•Sessionsperweek(between2and3isoptimal)
•Muscletension(howtightlycontractedthemuscleis)bychangingtheangleofthejointor,forexample,performing
the exercise on one leg only
•Complexityofmovementoradditionalmovement
(i.e., active or dynamic movement versus only holding an exercise position)
•Additionalweightorextraload,i.e.,usingaweightvestordumbbells
The exact way of using the variables is complex and depends on the individual and training goals of the person
involved. Other factors that should be taken into account are injuries, limitations, specific demands and/or any other
circumstances influencing the body (and mind).
In general the following progression steps can be taken:
Exercise time, number of exercises and rest time
These settings depend completely on your training goals. If you are new to Acceleration Training™ sessions, we
recommend performing only a few exercises and resting for the same amount of time as is spent actively using the
Power Plate
®
machine. After a while, more exercises can be added.
When trying to accomplish weight loss, cardiovascular or endurance improvements, rest time can be reduced, exercise
time can be extended and the number of exercises can be increased to add to the total volume of training.
For recovery, flexibility and preparation, it is better to perform specific exercises and keep the total volume low, with
enough rest between exercises.
For strength, power and speed, the intensity (i.e., Hertz settings) per exercise can be increased, but the total volume
should be kept low.
Example: If you are training for endurance or weight loss goals, you should progressively extend the duration of training
to multiple sets of 60 seconds each and cut the rest period to 30 seconds or less between subsequent sets. If your
goal is to achieve maximum strength or power, you should do multiple sets of short duration on high amplitude, and
takelongrestperiods,from1to4minutes.
11
English
Frequency
For each type of exercise, we recommend the following frequency settings:
•Stretchsettingsshouldstaybetween30Hertzand40Hertz
•Strengthsettingsshouldnotexceed40Hertz
•Massagesettingscanbethemaximum,upto50Hertz
•Relaxationsettingsshouldnotexceed40Hertz
When frequency is increased, the volume of the exercises should be decreased (duration, number of sets) and the
rest period should be increased proportionally.
Amplitude
•Foreachtypeofexercise,werecommendthefollowingamplitudesettings:
•StretchsettingshouldbeLOW
•StrengthsettingshouldbeLOW,progressingtoHIGH
•MassagesettingcanbeHIGH
•RelaxationsettingcanbeLOW
When amplitude is increased from Low to High, frequency and volume of exercise should be (temporarily)
decreased and the rest period increased proportionally.
Mat
The mat dampens the vibrations. Always use the mat when you have a body part in contact with the plate surface,
or if you are exercising in socks or bare feet.
Sessions per week
In general, we recommend performing 2 to 3 sessions per week. Stretches, massages, relaxation and preparation
programs can be performed more often.
Execution
Changing your exercises by using more movements of your body and that also correspond to your specific goals
will help increase performance even more. You can think of increasing the angle of the joint (which increases
the contraction of the muscle), or varying the exercises by performing them with a variety of still (static), active
(dynamic) or jumping (plyometric) movements.
Extra load
Extra load, i.e., adding weights, should only be used to increase intensity by well-trained people or users who are
being coached by a professional. All of the above parameters can be varied with the extra load. When external
load is added to your exercises on the Power Plate
®
machine, amplitude and volume of the exercises should be
decreased and the rest period should be increased proportionally as though starting the entire exercise progression
again.
The programs in this booklet are basic / standard programs that will suit most people without specific limitations or
needs. Specialized programs and additional progression steps for individual users should be drawn up by educated
and certified Power Plate
®
trainers.

PERSONAL ADAPTATION
Training on the Power Plate
®
machine is like any other type of trai ning: start with light and short training sessions,
and once accustomed to the vibrations, you can begin to gradually intensify your program. In the schedules we
provide in this manual, we describe a buildup in exercise routine appropriate to the majority of people. However, our
most important advice is to always listen to what your own body is telling you.
Another important aspect is ensuring that between training sessions, you rest long enough to fully recover. We
normally recom mend one to two days of rest after each training session. It is our experience that one day’s rest
after training with Power Plate
®
equipment is often enough, but every body is different and you will have to find what
works best for you. If you feel the schedules are too easy or too intense once you have become accustomed to this
training method, you can adjust them to your comfort level.
