  Locations: The City (EC1)  By simply standing barefoot on the machine, vibration is generated and sent through your body, which passively stretches your musclesWhen a muscle fiber is stretched, it contracts by reflex (stretch reflex), this causes millions of muscle contractions, which increases muscle tone and size. As muscle density increases, your metabolic rate goes up, as increase in muscle mass requires more energy. The movement of the vibration plate simulates the body's natural 'stretch reflex' (Tonic Vibration Reflex). This is similar to the knee jerk reaction that occurs when the knee is tapped by a reflex hammer in a doctor's office. Without thinking about it, your body responds with a strong involuntary muscle contraction, leading to your leg 'kicking out'. With Whole Body Vibration technology, these strong muscle contractions can be repeated at a rapid rate. Exercise causes the body to tire; rest allows the body to recover. By repeating this process, the body adjusts to the level of effort, resulting in an increase in physical performance. This phenomenon, called super-compensation, similarly occurs when training on the Power Plate. However, compared with traditional training methods, greater results are achieved and hormonal production is increased in much less time. Each set is performed no longer than 60 seconds in length, and training sessions on the Power Plate need to be performed no more than 3 times per week with each session lasting 25 minutes of actual time on the Power Plate Regular training on the Power-Plate provides the following advantages, all scientifically proven:
