Introduction
Power Plate® pro7 model is a consumer and commercial product that may be used by
almost everyone for tness and exercise purposes. Power Plate pro7 allows you to adjust
training to your own level and reduce the 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 benets and eects of completing a training session on Power
Plate, while at the same time, reduce the risk of injury to the body.
We recommend consulting your physician before beginning any new exercise program.
For your safety, please review the product instructions before operating Power Plate. If at
any time you feel faint, dizzy, nauseous, short of breath or in pain, stop exercising immedia-
tely and consult with your physician.
Body posture, muscle stiness and muscle tension 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 or active exercises, such as stretching and
massage, can be performed on a more frequent basis.
Exercise should be performed on a regular basis, starting with low intensity, which means
low frequency and amplitude settings for short sessions. The body should be gently stimu-
lated 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, training can be
changed or intensied to keep improving performance.
Important Safety Instructions

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.

proMOTION
™
Dynamic Vibration
Technology
How Does it Work?
proMOTION™ Dynamic Vibration
Technology uses high strength cables for
high quality.
The unique cables, which pound-by-
pound are ve times stronger than steel.
Each cable extends to more than two
meters, allowing for movement in all
planes and directions, so you can enjoy full
range of movement and innite dynamic
exercise options.
The proMOTION oers variable resistance.
Changing the resistance puts more load on
the muscles during the most intense part
of the movement, oering 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 Guidelines
As 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.
Shift lever towards you to
increase; shift away from you to
decrease
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. proMOTION
cables should be used within the normal
range and angle to maximize training
eect and prevent damaging the device.
The cables should be used between
90 degrees and 25 degrees from the
horizontal base.

Power Plate has three parameters to increase the intensity of the machine:
frequency, amplitude and duration of the exercise expressed in seconds. This last
parameter does not directly inuence the intensity felt by the user but the duration of
the exercise.
Intensity level
The intensity on the machine can be determined by multiplying frequency and
amplitude. The platform of the Power Plate accelerates with a certain speed caused
by the selected frequency and amplitude. Acceleration is expressed in meters per
Second Square (m/s2) and can be converted to g-forces. An acceleration of 9.81
m/s2 equals a g-force of 1g.
