While Whole Body Vibration Training (WBVT) with Power Plate can burn fat quicker, increase strength, and improve flexibility, it also has a little known benefit: it helps boost human growth hormone (HGH) and reduce stress naturally.
The Importance of HGH
HGH is one of the three important hormones (serotonin and cortisol are the other) released while doing WBVT with Power Plate. According to multiple clinical studies, the (patented) technology that Power Plate brought to the world can boost HGH by 400-2600%. Here’s one such study.
Benefits for the Body
Naturally produced growth hormones maintain bodily functions throughout life. These include
- Tissue repair
- Muscle growth
- Brain function
- Bone density development
- Skin thickness
- Energy
- Metabolism
For example, when you boost natural levels of growth hormone, this leads to increased collagen production in your skin.
Stress Reduction
According to some Power Plate proponents, it only takes about 15 minutes of WBVT three times a week to experience various health benefits. These include a decrease in the stress hormone cortisol.
Some studies have found that whole body vibration exercises are effective in reducing the production of cortisol and contributing to lower stress levels. Here’s one such study.
How Does Power Plate Work?
Power Plate utilizes PrecisionWave™ Technology to transmit tiny vibrations through your body at a rate of up to 50 times a second. These tiny micro vibrations activate more muscles, burn more calories, improve circulation, and aid in muscle recovery.
