With muscle tone and to refine its shape without effort, it is the niche of the Power Plate. Hitherto reserved for sports halls, the platform is a vibrantToday available in other brands at home. But is it really a good idea to use a platform vibrating at home?
The principle of the vibrating platform
The principle of the vibrating platform, which marks the best known is Power Plate, is to maintain a posture for several tens of seconds on a vibrating plate. The vibrations cause reflex muscle contractions, making the muscles at an intensity greater than that obtained by a classic muscle.
The allegations mentioned by the manufacturers are very wide. We remember that these exercises provide muscle strengthening and toning the body. We must adopt the right position and follow a proper training program. It précisément the conclusion of trials published in the magazine 60 million consumers.
What about the platform vibrating at home?
Noting that now vibrating platforms are available to the public at affordable prices (less than 500 euros against 1700 euros for the first prize of Power Plate), are they effective? Beyond the intensity of the vibrations provided by the device arealso easy to use at home or in a gym or specialized room, which offer the advantage of a coach?
The response of 60 million consumers is negative. So much so that the test could not conclude on the effectiveness of the use of the vibrating platform at home. The problem highlighted is that the devices are not provided with adequate guidance on safe use. Admittedly, there is a poster and a booklet outlining the postures available, sometimes even a DVD, but it lacks the elements to build your own custom real program (sequence of full meetings) based on its physical and its objectives.
Thus, at home, the individual finds himself alone with his machine without really practical explanations to organize their own meetings.
