Effect of an acute bout of whole body vibration exercise on muscle force output and motor neuron excitability
The purpose of the current investigation was to assess the effect of an acute bout of whole body vibration (WBV) exercise on muscle force output an...
The Effect of Using Vibration Training on Some Physical and Skill Variables in Basketball Players
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of 4 weeks of whole-body vibration training added to the conventional training of basketball...
Acute effects of whole-body vibration on muscle activity, strength, and power
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a single bout of whole-body vibration on isometric squat (IS) and countermovement jump ...
Comparison of the Power Plate and Free Weight Exercises on Upper Body Muscular Endurance in College Age Subjects
The power plate (PP) is designed to reduce training time while providing a muscle stimulus that leads to positive changes in muscle mass. This stud...
Displacement and frequency for maximizing power output resulting from a bout of whole-body vibration
Whole-body vibration (WBV) has been shown to be effective for increasing lower-body power; however, the combination of frequency, displacement, and...
Effects of Whole-body Vibration Training on Sprint Running Kinematics and Explosive Strength Performance
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 6 wk of whole body vibration (WBV) training on sprint running kinematics and explosive stren...
Effect of Direct Whole-Body Vibration on Upper-Body Muscular Power in Recreational, Resistance-Trained Men
Session 1 included body composition ([Bod Pod] 15.76 ± 6.7% body fat), 3 repetition maximum BP, and familiarization with: seated medicine ball thro...
Hypertrophy and Explosive-Reactive Functioning in Sedentary Men After 10 Weeks of Whole-Body Vibration
Forty-three sedentary male subjects (18-30 year) randomized into 3 groups underwent 2 upper-body exercise sessions per week for 10 weeks. Two group...
The Immediate Effect of Muscle Energy Technique and Whole Body Vibration on Hamstring Muscle Flexibility and Stiffness in Healthy Young Females
Flexibility refers to the elongation of skeletal muscles and tendons and is generally considered an important rehabil-itation protocol component (1...
