Hormonal Benefits

Following ongoing workouts with Acceleration Training, there are several positive dynamic responses in the body's endocrine system. According to Power Plate, research has documented that anabolic hormones are enhanced; the human growth hormone (HGH) is multiplied, and free testosterone rises.

HGH works to recover the body and to repair and build muscle fibers. The Growth hormone is responsible for muscular development, youthful appearance, tight skin, and vitality.

There is also a release of Serotonin, allowing a sensation like a "runner's high", and providing a sense of enjoyment and well-being. Acceleration Training also decreases the "Stress" hormone, Cortisol. Cortisol is also a primary signal for carbohydrate metabolism and is related to glycogen stores in the muscle.
