Six NFL Teams Get In Playoff Shape With one Thing In Common: Power Plate® Acceleration Training™

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As the NFL post-season kicks off this weekend and twelve teams get ready to hash it out, sports analysts across the country have their picks for who will take home the glory. While each team brings its own strengths and strategies to the field, six out of the 12 have one common tool that they attribute, in part, to their success.

The Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, and New England Patriots have all incorporated Power Plate Acceleration Training into their workouts, utilizing vibration technology that stretches, strengthens and gets them in playoff shape. Athletic coaches have enforced rigorous routines that include the Power Plate for fast, efficient workouts that pack on the muscle and increase endurance.

"If it's true that one is judged by the company they keep, we're proud of our association with some of the finest organizations in professional football," noted Mark de Gorter, President of Power Plate North America.  "As the teams prepare for the traditional second season, Power Plate will be there with them, helping their athletes maintain their highly tuned competitive edge."

Power Plate® technology provides one of the most efficient and dynamic total-body workouts in less than 30 minutes utilizing scientifically-proven Advanced Vibration Technology™ that triggers involuntary muscle reactions 25-50 times per second while you exercise. The result is a high-intensity exercise that increases strength, improves muscle tone and balance.

Power Plate® equipment's scientifically proven ability to reduce muscle pain and soreness and expedite the recovery of damaged muscles and tendons is integral to NFL athletes, especially as they head into post season.

Power Plate is the global leader in whole body vibration. In just 30 minutes, you will get an entire body workout including a massage, thanks to your body's naturally occurring reflexes and the machine's multi-intensity vibrational system.
