==>> A stumble is, among other things, a reaction-time problem.
We tend to think of falling as a strength problem, which it certainly can be.
Stronger legs are generally better than weaker ones.
==>> But strength is only useful if your body can deploy it in time. This is where Power Plate can provide critical daily intervention.....
Power Plate’s particular proposition is high-frequency, low-amplitude movement delivered in three dimensions.
Once you understand that, a surprisingly large collection of Power Plate benefits begins to look less like a random list.
Muscle activation isn’t separate from the nervous system.
Balance isn’t separate from proprioception.
Proprioception isn’t separate from reaction.
Reaction isn’t separate from stability.
And stability isn’t separate from our ability to move confidently through the world.
Even the research into circulation and bone begins with the same basic event:
the body receives a mechanical stimulus and responds to it.
This is also why I think comparing Power Plate with a cheap shaking machine misses the interesting question.
The question isn’t: Does it vibrate? The question is:
What kind of information are you giving the body?
For an elite athlete, the answer might ultimately show up as a faster first step, better stabilization or the ability to react to a ball traveling 95 miles an hour.
For a 75-year-old walking across a parking lot, success might be considerably less glamorous.
A shoe catches something.
The body notices.
The right muscles fire.
A foot moves.
Balance returns.
And something that could have become a fall becomes nothing more than another step.
==>> For an athlete this can be the difference between success and failure. For everyone else, this can mean the difference between dependence or independent living...
THE GIFT OF POWER PLATE COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF A LOVED ONE.....that might sound extreme, but it is very true.
There is a moment, usually lasting considerably less than a second, when your foot catches the edge of a curb and your body has to make a decision. Most of us don’t think much about this moment until the decision starts going badly. Your foot lands somewhere your brain wasn’t expecting. Your cen...
