What the heck is it supposed to do? Do you just stand on it and let it vibrate?
If so it reminds me of the old vibrating belts that I'm pretty sure didn't do anything to help burn fat.

You bet! And surely there are better uses for vibrating objects
Honestly, I ask what's the fuss all about, I just told someone from Church that I think its crap, in fact I said I'd like to still see something that will take over the effectiveness of weight training and HIIT.
Don't think it will ever exist, if we don't use our body it simply "rusts"! That means exercise and weights force your muscles to work therfore keeping them active to the T, hell I rest my case!

I think gimmicks like this are just stupid, designed for people who don't want to put in the time and energy. But... they keep making money, so... maybe I should design something like this, which supposedly burns fat/builds muscle while you watch television. I could make millions. Imagine all the equipment and food I could afford then!

Ok although I don't believe in none of this non-sense I want the real research guys to strip this nonsense apart.

Author(s) Schröder et al., University of Hamburg
Journal Deutsche Zeitschrift fur Sportmedizin, 2005
Duration 8 weeks, twice weekly
Conducted Power-Plate Next Generation
Results Power-Plate training causes a significant increase in maximum strength, comparable to that of conventional training
Title: Comparing the effects of different WBV intensities on vertical jump performance
Author(s) Bazett-Jones et al, Ball State University
Duration At least 4 sessions
Conducted Power-Plate Next Generation
Results Forty-four subjects (male and female) performed pre-tests, followed randomly by one of 5 WBV intensities (0g, 1.81g, 2.94g, 3.71g and 6.24 g). After analysis of the results, one 45 s bout of WBV at 2.94g (40 Hz) seems to be the most effective stimulus for the female population, which did not include elite athletes. The 6.24g intensity seemed to elicit the best performance from males. The differences between males and females may indicate that the effects of WBV are dependent on strength and/or training level.
Title: EMG response during WBV of different frequencies with progressive external loads.
Author(s) Moras et al., Biomechanical Laboratory INEFC, Barcelona
Journal www.efdeportes.com , Digital Magazin Buenos Aires, 2006
Duration Acute
Conducted Power-Plate Classic
Results In all conditions, average normalised EMGrms from VM was significantly higher than in the NV condition. The same behaviour was observed in VL except in the 50 Hz with 20 kg condition. In RF, only six conditions with 40 and 50 Hz were not significantly different compared with the NV condition. However, GM presented a different behaviour and only seven out of 24 conditions were significantly different compared with the NV condition. The highest EMGrms was found at 30 Hz but no significant differences were found between the different frequencies employed. In all muscles except from GM and in all conditions with or without vibrations, a significant linear relationship was found between external load increments and EMGrms (%) signal increments. These results suggest the use of EMGrms to monitor the optimal vibration frequency.</div>
Lacks comparison to actual ATG squats using weights.

A randomized controlled pilot study
Author(s) Verschueren et al., University of Leuven
Journal Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2004
Duration 6 months, 3 times weekly
Conducted Power-Plate Classic
Results No vibration-related side effects were observed. Vibration training improved isometric and dynamic muscle strength and also significantly increased bone mineral density of the hip. No changes in hip BMD were observed in women participating in resistance training or age-matched controls. Serum markers of bone turnover did not change in any of the groups. These findings suggest that WBV training may be a feasible and effective way to modify well-recognized risk factors for falls and fractures in older women and support the need for further human studies.

Pity they used post meno pausal women WTH??? How does this compare to make actual sales? Darn,like Tot puts it, only good for people who want to get bigger toned and lean wjhile watching TV...go figure.
