Background Agility is an important characteristic of team sports athletes. There is a growing
interest in the factors that influence agility performance as well as appropriate testing …

Whilst exposure to vibration is traditionally regarded as perilous, recent research has
focussed on potential benefits. Here, the physical principles of forced oscillations are …

Whole body vibration has been recently proposed as an exercise intervention because of its
potential for increasing force generating capacity in the lower limbs. Its recent popularity is …

The aim of this review was to examine the physiological effects of vibration exercise (VbX),
including the cardiovascular indices and to elucidate its potential use for those with …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects on leg muscular performance from

BACKGROUND: Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a neuromuscular training method that has
recently received popularity in health and fitness centers, as an additional or substitute …

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 (CMJ) performance. Nine …

BACKGROUND: Whole body vibration may improve muscle and bone strength, power and
balance although contradictory findings have been reported. Prolonged exposure may result …

Whole-body vibration (WBV) training uses a vertically oscillating platform and reports
suggest that this perturbation elicits reflexive muscle contractions that augment muscle …

The aim was to study whether whole body vibration (WBV) combined with conventional
