Muscle activity and acceleration during whole body vibration: effect of frequency and amplitude
BACKGROUND: Whole body vibration may improve muscle and bone strength, power and balance although contradictory findings have been repo...
Comparing muscle temperature during static and dynamic squatting with and without whole-body vibration
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of shallow dynamic squatting (DS) versus static squatting (SS) with or without c...
Muscle tissue oxygenation and VEGF in VO-matched vibration and squatting exercise
Exposure to vibration has traditionally been associated with compromised perfusion. This study investigated whether blood supply during...
