Power Plate for Senior
What kind of machine is Power Plate?
There is a deep relationship between the power plate and the "universe".
When astronauts return to Earth, they notice a noticeable decline in muscle strength and bone mass, making them appear as if they are rapidly aging.
The cause is "gravity". In order to maintain muscle strength and bone density, it is important to be subject to gravitational loads, and it appears that muscles and bones that lost this stimulation weakened.
A method called acceleration training has been developed to maintain the muscle strength and bone mass of astronauts who spend time in the weightless space of space, as well as to improve their functions. The Power Plate uses this acceleration training.
Acceleration training is the process of applying load to muscles more effectively through vertical, longitudinal, horizontal, and three-dimensional vibration stimulation.
The Power® Plate allows even elderly people to train safely and in a short amount of time, tailored to their individual conditions.
Simple training with the Power Plate® can stimulate muscles throughout the body without putting too much strain on the body through whole-body vibration, which stimulates muscles and parts that are not often moved. It helps prevent the decline in muscle strength and balance that declines with age.

Effects that seniors can expect from training using Power Plate®
Power Plate® is a useful tool for seniors
- Load due to vertical vibration strengthens bones
A certain amount of stress is necessary to build strong bones. The vertical vibration of the power plate increases the load of gravity and reaction force, creating strong bones. - Unstable environment with front, back, left and right enhances balance ability
Unstable swaying from front to back and from side to side causes you to reflexively try to right yourself, which helps improve your balance ability. By utilizing the vertical and horizontal sway produced by the Power Plate, it is expected that the ability to prevent fractures due to falls will be improved. - Significant reduction in training time through acceleration training
The Power Plate naturally applies stress due to vibrations, so it takes less time to exercise than on the floor.
