Power Plate® pro5HP model is a consumer and commercial product that may be used
by almost everyone for fitness and exercise purposes. Power Plate pro5HP allows you
to adjust training to your own level and reduce the 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 Power Plate, while at the same time, reduce the risk of injury to the body.
We recommend consulting your physician before beginning any new exercise program.
For your safety, please review the product instructions before operating Power Plate. If at
any time you feel faint, dizzy, nauseous, short of breath or in pain, stop exercising immedia-
tely and consult with your physician.
Body posture, muscle stiffness and muscle tension 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 or active exercises, such as stretching and
massage, can be performed on a more frequent basis.
Exercise should be performed on a regular basis, starting with low intensity, which means
low frequency and amplitude settings for short sessions. The body should be gently stimu-
lated 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, training can be
changed or intensified to keep improving performance.
