Serena Williams Prepares for U.S. Open With Power Plate(R)

“As fans turn to the U.S. Open to watch world-class tennis played by the most elite players in the world, the players themselves turn to Power Plate(R) to give them the competitive edge. According to Serena Williams, the reigning U.S., Australian and Wimbledon champion, and the favored choice to win the U.S. Open women's singles title, ‘Off court training is as important to me as on court. With the Power Plate(R), I'm able to accelerate my off court training and maximize the benefits.’ Power Plate(R) technology provides one of the most efficient and dynamic total-body workouts in less than 30 minutes utilizing scientifically-proven Advanced Vibration Technology(TM) that triggers involuntary muscle contractions 25-50 times per second while you exercise. This works up to 98 percent of muscle fibers, compared to only 20 percent when performing exercise with traditional strength training equipment. The result is a high-intensity exercise that increases strength, improves muscle tone and balance and helps reduce body fat. A recent study found that Power Plate exercise helped participants lose more weight than traditional exercise. Power Plate's(R) scientifically proven ability to reduce muscle pain and soreness and expedite the recovery of dam aged muscles and tendons is important to athletes such as Williams and Nadal.”
