Instructions for Usemy7™ Model
IntroductionPower Plate® machines use the principles of Acceleration Training™ exercise to stimulate the body’s natural response to vibration. Power Plate machines create vibrations that cause instability throughout the body. As these vibrations transmit waves of energy, a variety of muscles subconsciously contract throughout the body. This rapid cycle of muscle contraction and release is what makes training with Power Plate equipment so effective. Acceleration Training was discovered in the former Soviet Union, where it was found to effectively combat the negative effects of the zero-gravity environment in space. Cosmonauts were faced with considerable loss of muscle strength and bone density from their time in space, and Acceleration Training exercise helped reverse these effects. However, this new form of training was unknown in Western Europe until after the fall of the Iron Curtain, when Dutch sports expert Guus van der Meer introduced the technology, resulting in the development of the rst Power Plate model in 1999. Since then, Power Plate technology has been adapted for the masses so it is now possible for everyone to enjoy training on Power Plate machines. That means you can strength train without the need to add extra weights, thus without overloading the body and its joints. Power Plate machines are used by everyone from high performance athletes to the elderly, and anyone wishing  to improve their general health and tness levels. Correct Use is Essential for  Optimal Results  In theory, the Power Plate machine  can be used by almost everyone.  You can adjust training to your own level and reduce any 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 benets and effects of completing a training session on the Power Plate machine, while at  the same time reducing the risk of injury  or damage to the body.Body posture, muscle stiffness and muscle tension (i.e. how contracted your muscle is) 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 exercises, such as stretch and massage on the Power Plate machine, don’t absorb as much vibration and can therefore be performed on a more frequent basis.Acceleration Training exercise should be used on a regular basis, starting with low intensity, which means low frequency and amplitude settings for short sessions. The body should be gently stimulated 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, the training can be changed or intensied to keep improving performance, whether this improvement is desired for sports or daily life goals.Contents© 2011 Power Plate.

Muscular Strength and Power   Claim: Power Plate training can be a benecial tool/intervention to help increase strength and power to improve daily life performance, both acute and structural.   Denition: Physical strength is the ability of a person or animal to exert force on physical objects using muscles. Increasing physical strength is the goal of strength training. Power is the amount of work done or energy transferred per unit of time. Pain   Claim: Power Plate training can be a benecial tool/intervention to reduce and/or alleviate (chronic) pain.   Denition: Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage. Cellulite   Claim: Power Plate training can be a benecial tool/intervention to diminish the appearance of cellulite.   Denition: Cellulite describes a condition that occurs in men and women (although much more common in women) where the skin of the lower limbs, abdomen and pelvic region becomes dimpled  after puberty.Weight Loss   Claim: Power Plate training can be a benecial tool/intervention to lose weight and specically lose body fat.   Denition: Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health or physical tness, is a reduction of the total body weight, due to a mean loss of uid, body fat or adipose tissue and/or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon and other connective tissue. Bone Density/Bone Mineral Density   Claim: Power Plate training can be a benecial tool/intervention to increase bone density and prevent bone mineral density loss related to aging.   Denition: Bone density (or bone mineral density) is a medical term referring to the amount of matter per cubic centimeter of bones. Circulation and Cardiovascular   Claim: Power Plate training can be a benecial tool/intervention to improve and increase circulation and improve the function of the cardiovascular system.   Denition: The circulatory system is an organ system that moves nutrients, gases and wastes to and from cells, helps ght diseases and helps stabilize body temperature and pH to maintain homeostasis. Two types of uids move through the circulatory system: blood and lymph. The blood, heart and blood vessels form the cardiovascular system. The lymph, lymph nodes and lymph vessels form the lymphatic system. The cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system collectively make up the circulatory system. Pulmonary circulation is the portion of the cardiovascular system which transports oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood back to the heart.

Always take care when getting on and off the machine. Use the handles on the machine as needed, to maintain stability when getting on and off the machine.  Never reach into or under the machine, or tip the machine on its side, while it is in operation.  Use the machine only for the purposes described in this user manual and only with attachments or accessories that come with the machine or which Power Plate has specically approved for use with the machine, or personal injury could result.   Setup and Handling! Danger: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the Power Plate machine before cleaning or servicing it.! Warning: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, re, burns or other injury, always plug the Power Plate machine into a properly-grounded electrical outlet.! Warning: To ensure safe use of the Power Plate machine, it must be regularly examined for damage and wear. The  machine, however, contains no user-serviceable parts. Thus, with the exception of the maintenance tasks described later in this manual, the owner/user should always retain an authorized Power Plate service professional to perform maintenance and/or service on the machine.   The machine should be set up on a hard, level surface in an area free of obstructions within at least three feet  of the vibration platform.  The machine should not be used outdoors, near a pool, or near any source of water or extreme humidity. Contact with water could cause a  short-circuit, which could cause personal injury or damage the machine.  Unplug the machine when not in use.  Never attempt to lift or move the machine without assistance.  Never operate the machine if it has been dropped, tipped over, damaged, or even partially immersed in water, unless an authorized Power Plate service professional has examined the machine and cleared it for use.  Never insert objects into any opening on the machine. If an object falls into the machine, shut the machine off and remove the power plug before attempting to retrieve the object.  If the object cannot be reached,  contact an authorized Power Plate service professional.   Hydration Power Plate recommends that the user stay well hydrated by drinking at least 300 ml (16 ounces) of water before, during and after each exercise session. Clothing and Padding  During exercises in which the user stands on the vibration platform, the user should wear rubber-soled shoes or if the user chooses to exercise in socks or bare feet, the user should use one of the three contoured mats that are provided with the machine.  During exercises in which any part of the user’s body is in contact with the vibration platform, Power Plate recommends the use of at least one contoured mat.Position and Balance  In order to avoid possible injury from the machine’s vibrations, Power Plate recommends that the user not lean back on his/her heels or “lock” his/her joints or straighten his/her legs when standing upright on the machine.   It is important at all times to maintain balance while on the machine.  The user, however, should not “hang” on the machine’s handles in order to maintain balance but should (unless the directions for a particular exercise state otherwise) keep his/her knees directly above the toes. Proper position and balance are especially important if the user employs weights during any exercise on the  machine. Power Plate strongly recommends that users not employ weights while using the machine,  unless they are being coached by an exercise professional or unless the user has extensive experience with weight training or with the Power Plate machine.  The three illustrations on the right demonstrate the incorrect ways to stand  on the machine.  The illustration below demonstrates the correct way to stand on the machine. IncorrectYou always need to be balanced when standing on the Power Plate machine. Never hang on to the handles, use them only to maintain balance. IncorrectDon’t lean on your heels too much.

 G-factor™   The my7 model offers a new way of setting the machine, called the G-Factor™, which simplies how one sets the machine to operate at various levels of intensity. The G-Factor combines the frequencies and amplitudes, as shown in the table below. The term G-factor™ is based on g-forces as described in paragraph 1.2 Intensity Level, a combination of frequency and amplitude.  Intensity level    The intensity at which the machine operates can be determined by multiplying frequency and amplitude, which shows how fast and how far the platform is accelerating. Acceleration is expressed in meters per second squared (m/s2) and can be converted to g-forces. An acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 is equal to a g-force of 1g.  Stretch – Readies your muscles and connecting tissues. An excellent prep for any workout. Balance – Activates your mind/body connection and increases your stabilizing muscle strength.  Core – Engages and strengthens your central pillar including abs, obliques and spinal erectors.  Strength – Builds lean muscle, tones and burns fat with both dynamic and static style exercises.

proMOTION™  Dynamic Vibration TechnologyHow Does it Work?proMOTION™ Dynamic Vibration Technology uses high strength Vectran® cables, which have been specically chosen for their unique ability to optimize the transfer of vibrations generated by the platform directly to the targeted muscle. Specically upper body muscles. The Vectran cables, which pound-by-pound are ve times stronger than steel, transfer vibration to the upper body at high-speed frequency rates between 30 and 40 times per second. Vectran® is a registered trademark of Hoechst Celanese CorpEach cable extends to more than two meters, allowing for movement in all  planes and directions, so you can enjoy full range of movement and innite dynamic exercise options.Not only does the proMOTION optimize the transmission of vibrations to the targeted muscle but it also offers variable resistance. Changing the resistance puts more load on the muscles during the  most intense part of the movement, Shift lever towards you to increase; shift away from you to decreaseoffering another way to progress your workouts by increasing the intensity of your training. The unique gel dampening system also increases the resistance  as you work harder.Usage and GuidelinesAs with any form of exercise, cease your session immediately if you feel faint, dizzy or ill while working out on the Power Plate® machine. Always consult a doctor or specialist before restarting your training.As with any training routine, it is important  to start using the proMOTION on the lowest level of resistance and with the  Power Plate machine on a low setting. Establish a good technique before increasing the setting on the proMOTION from low to high.Always pay special attention to your  posture, especially the position of your  wrists and back, and how close you are  to the Power Plate machine.  Dynamic exercises should be performed mainly in vertical movements.10 of 22 11 of 22
have to nd what works best for you. If you feel the schedules are too easy or too intense once you have become accustomed to this training method, you can adjust them to your comfort level.G-FactorExercise which is selected manually has its own preset setting and G-factor range. For each type of exercise, we recommend the following g-factor settings: Stretch settings should be performed on g-factor level 1.  Balance settings should be performed between g-factor level 1 and 2. Core, Strength and Massage exercises should be performed between g-factor level 1 and 6.When the G-factor level is increased, the volume of exercises should be decreased (duration, number of sets) and the rest period should be increased proportionally.  MatThe mat dampens the vibrations. Always use the mat when you have a body part in contact with the plate surface, or if you are exercising in socks or bare feet.Sessions per WeekIn general, we recommend performing two to three sessions per week.  Stretches, massages, relaxation and preparation programs can be  performed more often. Extra LoadWe recommend only adding external load, such as using weights, if you are an experienced Power Plate user, or if your professional coach or trainer is supervising your training. All of the above parameters can be varied with the extra load. When external load is added to your exercises on the Power Plate® machine, amplitude and volume of the exercises should be decreased and the rest period should be increased proportionally as though starting the entire exercise progression again.  Specialized programs and additional progression steps for individual users should be drawn up by educated and certied Power Plate® trainers. Power Plate offers a variety of educational and training materials, including DVDs, online learning and in some countries, specialized academies. For more information please visit our website, www.powerplate.com.Training on the Power Plate machine is like any other type of training: start with light and short training sessions, and once accustomed to the vibrations, one can begin to gradually intensify the program. We strongly recommend that you always  listen to what your own body is telling you.The step-by-step build up of intensity is extremely important for your training so that it is both efciently and responsibly.The exercise intensity can be varied simply by using the following variables:  Length of time for each exercise Rest time between exercises Number of exercises G-Factor Sessions per week (between 2 and  3 is optimal) Muscle tension (how tightly contracted the muscle is) by changing the angle of the joint or, for example, performing the exercise on one leg only Complexity of movement or additional movement (i.e., active or dynamic movement versus only holding an  exercise position) Additional weight or extra load, i.e.,  using a weight vest or dumbbellsHow these variables are applied depends on the individual and training goals of the person involved. Other factors that should be taken into account are injuries, limitations, specic demands and/or any other circumstances inuencing the training regimen.In general the following progression steps can be taken:  Exercise Time, Number of Exercises and Rest TimeThese settings depend on your training goals. If you are new to Acceleration Training™ sessions, we recommend performing only a few exercises and resting for the same amount of time as is spent actively using the Power Plate machine. After a while, more exercises  can be added. When trying to accomplish weight loss, cardiovascular or endurance improvements, rest time can be reduced, exercise time can be extended and the number of exercises can be increased to add to the total volume of training.For recovery, exibility and preparation, it is better to perform specic exercises and keep the total volume low, with enough rest between exercises.For strength, power and speed, the intensity (i.e., Hertz settings) per exercise can be increased, but the total volume should be kept low.Example: If you are training for endurance or weight loss goals, you should progressively extend the duration of training to multiple sets of 60 seconds each and cut the rest period to 30 seconds or less between subsequent sets. If your goal is to achieve maximum strength or power, you should do multiple sets of short duration on high amplitude, and take long rest periods, from 1 to 4 minutes.  Another important aspect is ensuring that between training sessions, you rest long enough to fully recover. We normally recommend two days of rest after each training session. It is our experience that one day’s rest after training with  Power Plate equipment is often enough, but every body is different and you will Varying the Intensity12 of 22 13 of 22
