Quick Details
Specifications
The Power Plate? powerBIKE is a sports and fitness indoor cycling bike
equipped with the method of Whole Body Vibration training. It has a
pedal and crank system which produces mechanical vibration and
acceleration and is claimed to generate more muscle activity per stroke
to the legs and gluteus muscles. The idea of the powerBIKE is to
simulate situations which are not possible to simulate on rollers or
traditional stationary bikes like for example challenging mountain
courses, riding on changing undergrounds or sprinting to the finish. Its
aim is to improve the strength and endurance and to save time in
training.
Power Plate? powerBIKE? technology
The technology behind the powerBIKE? is identical to that of the Power Plate? machine. The acceleration (vibration) is induced by the axis in the bottom bracket. The axis lies in the specially designed integrated vibration drive system; by pressing turning the resistance wheel in a certain position the vibrations can be generated on the pedal. Then the vibrations are transmitted to the muscles of the athlete and result in additional reflexive muscle contraction (tonic vibration reflex).
The vibrations stimulate the muscles for up to 2400 muscle contractions per minute during the exercise, meaning increased muscle activation, intensification of training and shorter training sessions equal faster results. The vibration can manually be turned off at all times and the powerBIKE? can then be used as a 'conventional' indoor bicycle.
Four flexible rubber feet (VeloTek holow-core Stabilisers) are attached underneath the powerBIKE? to keep 2cm distance to the floor and allow the bike to move naturally while the athlete is pedalling and experiencing an 'outdoor' ride. The intensity can be changed by choosing the level of resistance in conjunction with the vibration. Also various settings are possible to copy different training conditions, outdoor rides, challenges, etc.
