Acute enhancement of lower-extremity dynamic strength and flexibility with whole-body vibration
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the acute effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) on muscular strength, flexibility, and...
Ankle Flexors Produce Peak Torque at Longer Muscle Lengths after Whole-Body Vibration
INTRODUCTION:: Whole-body vibration (WBV) has become a popular training method in recent years. This study investigated the effect of W...
The effects of acute whole body vibration as a recovery modality following high-intensity interval training in well-trained, middle-aged runners
The main purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of acute whole body vibration (WBV) on recovery following a 3 km time ...
Whole-body vibration dosage alters leg blood flow
The effect of whole-body vibration dosage on leg blood flow was investigated. Nine healthy young adult males completed a set of 14 rand...
Anterior-posterior bending strength at the tibial shaft increases with physical activity in boys: evidence for non-uniform geometric adaptation
We investigated bone structural adaptations to a 16-month school-based physical activity intervention in 202 young boys using a novel a...
Energy metabolism in human calf muscle performing isometric plantar flexion superimposed by 20-Hz vibration
Vibration training is commonly expected to induce an active muscle contraction via a complex reflex mechanism. In calf muscles of 20 un...
Skeletal effects of estrogen and mechanical loading are structurally distinct
Estrogen has been suggested to influence skeletal homeostasis by both increasing the sensitivity of the feedback control system for ske...
Muscle power is related to tibial bone strength in older women
We enrolled 65 to 75 year-old community-dwelling women and measured muscle power, strength, physical activity using accelerometry and t...
Leisure physical activity and the risk of fracture in men
BACKGROUND: Data from previous studies are inconsistent, and it is therefore uncertain whether, to what extent, and at what level leisu...
The rate of muscle temperature increase during acute whole-body vibration exercise
This study compared the rate of muscle temperature (T (m)) increase during acute whole-body vibration (WBV), to that of stationary cycl...
