Working with champion professional cyclists around the world, Power Plate International has set out to re-envision what an indoor bike could be. The company’s secret weapon is the powerBIKE by Power Plate.
Power Plate International is a leader in ‘Acceleration Training products and services’, with a focus on vibration through the body.
Power Plate’s expertise is grounded in years of product innovation, published scientific research and evidence-based practice. Power Plate founder, Dutch Olympic trainer, Guus van der Meer was the first person to harness whole body vibration technology and adapt it to meet the needs of both elite athletes, and everyday users. Today, Power Plate International has a presence in more than 100 countries, and ‘thousands of satisfied users.’
The company notes that, as pro cyclists began to win with impressive time, it realised it was on the right road!
Olympic champion Rebecca Romero is the first UK professional cyclist to train with the Power Plate powerBIKE. She is taking a lead from Dutch professional cycling team Rabobank, which has reportedly ‘seen a distinct improvement in form since introducing the powerBIKE’ into its training regime.
“The powerBIKE takes my training to the next level”, said Romero. “The ability to switch the vibration on and off means I can replicate high intensity race conditions far more easily. Recovery is also faster, because of the instant increase in circulation and lactic acid drainage due to the vibration technology. It has real potential to help me gain the advantage when competing.”
