First used by Soviet cosmonauts in the ‘60s to combat the effects of microgravity in space, Acceleration Training™ on the Power Plate® machine triggers the body’s neuromuscular response to vibration. By using one of the most basic laws of physics (Force = Mass x Acceleration), this revolutionary training technique delivers harmonic vibration to the body, stimulating a natural reflex to contract the muscles as frequently as 30 to 40 times a second. Power Plate training applies gravitational forces to the body. At the highest setting, exercising on the my7™ is safely producing resistance equal to five times your body weight.
Because not everyone is a rocket scientist, we’ve kept things simple by creating the G-Factor™, our progressive measurement for vibration forces. The my7 knows when it’s time to increase the intensity of your workout, setting the machine automatically for optimal results.

1. Increase vertical jump height
2. Improve lateral movement
3. Speed up acceleration
To help increase Antonio’s vertical jump, he performs one minute of box jumps from the platform to an elevated surface on 40Hz/High Amplitude.
