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...
Comparison of pQCT parameters between ulna and radius in retired elite gymnasts: the skeletal benefits associated with long-term gymnastics are bone- and site-specific
Objectives: To compare the skeletal benefits associated with gymnastics between ulna and radius. Methods: 19 retired artistic gymnasts,...
Age-dependency in bone mass and geometry: a pQCT study on male and female master sprinters, middle and long distance runners, race-walkers and sedentary people
Objective: To investigate whether athletic participation allows master athletes to preserve their good bone health into old age. Method...
Resistive vibration exercise reduces lower limb muscle atrophy during 56-day bed-rest
Objectives: The current study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a resistive vibration exercise countermeasure during prolonged bed-...
Normative values for maximum power during motor function assessment of jumping among physically active Japanese
Objectives: To determine the relationship between maximum power relative to body weight (Pmax-rel) and the aging process, and to indica...
Skeletal adaptations during growth
NASA: The authors examine the role of mechanical usage in skeletal development. Principle mechanisms of bone physiology include longit...
