The purpose of this study was to determine which Power Plate intensity has the greatest effect on height of a vertical jump and the duration of that affect, if any exists.

Results show that one 45 seconds bout of Power Plate at 2.94g (40 Hz, 2-4 mm) seems to be the most effective stimulus for this female population, which did not include elite athletes.

Males may require a greater duration or volume of vibration exposure to elicit greater effects
