Voluntary activation of the ankle plantar flexors following whole-body vibration
This study investigated the effect of whole-body vibration (WBV) on the voluntary activation of the ankle plantar flexors. Twelve healt...
Building a Better Understanding of Basic Mechanical Principles Through Analysis of the Vertical Jump
An understanding of the basic mechanical principles governing movement is essential for the development of training programs, performan...
EFFECT OF SPORT ACTIVITY ON COUNTER MOVEMENT JUMP PARAMETERS IN JUVENILE STUDENTS
INTRODUCTION:
The counter movement jump (CMJ) is a commonly used method in performance diagnostics to measure leg power (Frick et al., ...
Skeletal geometry and indices of bone strength in artistic gymnasts
This review addresses bone geometry and indices of skeletal strength associated with exposure to gymnastic loading during growth. A bri...
Changes in muscle mass and strength after menopause
Menopause is associated with a natural decline in estrogen, that increases visceral fat mass, decreases bone mass density, muscle mass,...
Bone loss in Pompe disease: novel application of Vibration Training and High Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT)
We report that vibration training can imrpove bone architecture in 2 adults with Pompe disease with osteopenia and ambulatory disabilit...
Acute whole-body vibration elicits post-activation potentiation.
Whole-body vibration (WBV) leads to a rapid increase in intra-muscular temperature and enhances muscle power. The power-enhancing effec...
The acute effects of different whole-body vibration amplitudes and frequencies on flexibility and vertical jumping performance.
Frequency and amplitude determine the training load of whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise and thereby possible neuromuscular adaptatio...
Muscle and bone adaptations after treadmill training in incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: a case study using peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography
We describe the use of peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT) to identify musculoskeletal responses to partial body-weight ...
Age comparisons of bone density and geometry in men
Objectives: The purposes of this study were to examine tibia bone density and geometry in young and middle aged men, and to explore rel...
