Not sure where to post this question. Dr. L: I know you have studied frailty and muscle loss in older adults and I’m curious what you think about “power plate” technology described here. These machines are not inexpensive; I wonder if there are any control studies proving its effectiveness. Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIl8hL06i-M&t=11s
My preference is good-old-fashioned exercise, whether it’s via the power plate or anything else. The key is consistency, week-to-week, and beyond. There’s no magic pill for improved fitness.
