 Acceleration Training (on the ground) was first used by Soviet cosmonauts in the 1960s to counteract the bone and muscle degeneration caused by zero gravity. It is considered to have been responsible for the cosmonauts' exceptional record of staying in space for over 400 hundred days, more than three times as long as their American counterparts.
In 1999, Dutch Olympic Trainer Guus van der Meer adapted these techniques. First, for elite athletes and then for people of all ages, weights and fitness levels. The Power Plate "revolution" began.
Although the Power Plate product is still relatively new, an ever-growing body of scientific research helps prove its potential for widespread therapeutic application and health benefits, for everyone from elite, high-performance athletes, the elderly, to those simply wishing to improve their general health and fitness. Indeed, through a series of expertly developed training schedules, Power Plate equipment has already improved the looks, health and general well-being of thousands of users across the world, and continues to do so every day.
It is Power Plate International's mission to combat the devastating and debilitating effects of our increasingly sedentary lifestyle by offering the most technologically advanced, easy to use, non-invasive fitness equipment that all people can use regardless of age or condition.
