Power Plate unveils the HP
This year's IHRSA show saw the launch by Power Plate® of its new pro5™ High Performance vibration machine.
The new model has the highest load capacity of any Power Plate machine, with a maximum load of 272kg.
It also offers three adjustable AIRdaptive™ settings in order to accommodate users with heavier muscle mass:
- Light (low-intensity, lowest impact. Up to 60kg/130lbs) - Medium (standard setting. From 60kg/130lbs to 90kg/200 lbs)
- Heavy (greater weight-bearing, plyometric training. Above 90kg/200lbs)
The key difference in the HP however, is the removal of the column familiar on other Power Plate Acceleration Training™ machines.
The HP comprises just the plate and a display/control panel at foot level, along with a multi-function remote control. Power Plate says the new design has been created to permit total freedom of movement on the machine, such as performing a complete golf swing or other dynamic movement.
The machine comes in a protective travel case with wheels, its smaller size making it easily transportable.
