My mother is 72 years old; can she train on the Power Plate?
One of the first applications of the Power Plate was for combating osteoporosis. It has proven to be a very effective weapon against this problem. Scientific research has shown a linear connection between muscle strength and bone density. The vibrations and different forces affecting the body during a Power Plate session enormously stimulate the bone tissue. In a recently published study, post-menopausal women trained on the Power Plate 3 times a week for 6 months, after which a tremendous increase in bone density was measured. While using the Power Plate, one can activate their muscles in an easy, safe and simple manner, without having to use external objects such as weights, dumbbells or dyna-bands. There is also a lot less strain put on the joints, ligatures and tendons during vibration training than with conventional weight training. All of the results that can be achieved by young people are attainable for the elderly as well.
