This book was released on 2012 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whole-body vibration (WBV) has been shown to increase muscle fiber recruitment during isotonic contractions. No prior published studies have used elastic resistance. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the acute effects of a single bout of WBV on electromyography (EMG) activity during exercise when using elastic resistance. METHOD: 30 participants (14 male; 16 female) aged 18-30 were recruited for this study. Surface electromyography (sEMG) activity was then determined while participants performed the arm curl and squat using elastic resistance under three conditions: no vibration exposure, during acute vibration exposure, and immediately following acute vibration exposure. Seven muscles of interest were chosen: gastrocnemius, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, biceps femoris biceps brachii, triceps brachii, and lateral deltoid. Vibration was administered using a vibration platform (Wave®; ProElite, Windsor, ON Canada) at a frequency of 35Hz at 2mm displacement amplitude. RESULTS: Results indicate significant increases (.05) in sEMG in all seven muscles of interest between the pre-vibration (control) trial and the vibration trial. Additionally, the vastus medialis, gastrocnemius, biceps brachii and lateral deltoid yielded increased sEMG activity immediately following vibration. CONCLUSION: These data suggest sEMG activity is significantly increased during WBV. These data also suggest sEMG activity is significantly increased immediately following WBV in the prime-movers of the squat and arm curl.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current scientific evidence suggests that when whole body vibration (WBV) is used as a warm-up prior to performing eccentric exercise, delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is mitigated and strength loss recovers faster. These benefits were observed primarily in nonresistance-trained individuals. The aim of this study was to determine if WBV could mitigate soreness and expedite strength recovery for resistance-trained individuals when used as a warm-up prior to eccentric exercise. Thirty resistance-trained males completed 300 maximal eccentric contractions of the quadriceps after warming up with (WBV) or without (CON) WBV. Both CON and WBV experienced significant isometric (27.8% and 30.5%, respectively) and dynamic (52.2% and 47.1%, respectively) strength loss immediately postexercise. Isometric strength was significantly depressed after 24 hours in the CON group (9.36% p

Download or read book Effects of Vertical Whole body Vibration Parameters on Rate of Muscle Fatigue in Submaximal Isometric Contraction written by Mylène Saucier and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vibration training is a modality used to improve human performance. measured by muscle strength and power via a reflexive muscle contraction called Tonic Vibration Reflex. Reported improvements of this novel training practice are inconsistent which leads to poor understanding of Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) and suggest lack of research supporting the beneficial physiological effects of the modality on the human body. This study examined the effects of vertical vibration parameters (frequency and amplitude) on the rate of muscle fatigue while subjects performed an isometric single leg squat exercise under WBV until exhaustion. Thirty healthy college level athletes volunteered in this study. Three levels of each independent parameter were examined for nine combinations of vibration. Surface electromyographic (SEMG) activity of eight muscles was measured: tibialis anterior, fibularis longus, vastus medialis oblique (VMO), gastrocnemius (medial head), biceps femoris, gluteus medius, rectus abdominis, and erector spinae (L4). Spectral analysis of the integrated EMG (iEMG) was performed to determine the rate of muscle fatigue under each vibration condition. Analysis of variance evaluating the effect of the vibration parameters was performed on the spectral analysis responses with a significance of p ≤0.05. Results found no main effect of any individual vibration parameter or any interaction effect on the rate of muscle fatigue. These findings aid our understanding of vibration parameter effects on the human body. Since vibration training's popularity is still growing, further studies on the matter should be pursued.

Download or read book Effects of Whole Body Vibration and Progressive Resistance Exercise on Balance and Lower Extremity Strength written by Nathan Dodge and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whole body vibration (WBV) is widely used as a mechanical stimulus for neuromuscular training, and to a lesser extent, in the treatment of patients undergoing physical rehabilitation. PURPOSE: To quantify any beneficial and/or synergistic effects associated with the longitudinal administration of WBV and progressive resistance (PRE) exercise on lower extremity strength development and postural stability. METHODS: We recruited 30 physically-active men (age, 22.2±3.2 yrs; hgt, 178.9±6.1 cm; mass, 75.8±7.2 kg) who had not participated in resistance training activities during the past 3 months and had no history of lower extremity injury. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: WBV = PRE squat exercises with WBV (n=10); NO WBV = PRE squat exercises without WBV (n=10), or CONTROL (n=10). For those in the WBV and NO WBV groups, the experimental treatment consisted of 24 sessions of progressively-loaded squat exercises (3 sessions per week x 8 weeks) using weighted vests. A computerized posturography device was used to administer the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB) that quantified sway velocity. An isokinetic dynamometer was used to obtain concentric and eccentric peak torque values at 60°/sec, 120°/sec and 180°/sec during a unilateral, closed kinetic chain (CKC) leg press. All groups were tested at entry (Week 0), midpoint (Week 4), and upon conclusion of the study (Week 8). RESULTS: The mCTSIB scores (foam box/eyes open condition) were significantly better in the WBV group compared to CONTROL when measured at Week 4 (WBV = 0.46±0.01°/sec, CONTROL = 0.56±0.01°/sec; p=0.004) and at Week 8 (WBV = 0.49±0.01°/sec, CONTROL = 0.55±0.12°/sec; p=0.036). For the right limb, concentric leg press peak torques (normalized to Nm/kg body mass) increased at 60o/sec from 0.84±0.43 Nm/kg at Week 0 to 1.10±0.47 Nm/kg at Week 8 (p=0.03), and at 180°/sec from 0.82±0.37 Nm/kg at Week 0 to 1.03±0.36 Nm/kg at Week 8 (p=0.018). There were no significant Group differences observed for any of the CKC leg press measures (p> 0.05). CONCLUSION: While the 8-week training protocol was shown to be an effective means of improving both postural stability and isokinetic leg press strength, long-term exposure to WBV did not enhance lower extremity strength acquisition among the participants.
Download or read book Effects of Acute Synchronous Whole body Vibration Exercise written by Tom J. Hazell and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise has been gaining interest in the health/fitness community for its reported beneficial outcomes. However, most of these have not been evaluated scientifically leading to some reservation in promoting this new exercise modality. The purpose of this dissertation was to assess the viability of WBV exercise to enhance several selected indices of health. Study 1 demonstrated that the addition of WBV to an isometric semi-squat in young healthy men (n = 8, 25±2.6 y, 177±7.0 cm, 84±12.1 kg) resulted in increases in femoral artery blood flow and leg skin temperature vs the same exercise without vibration (NoV). These increases were seen without concomitant elevations in heart rate and mean arterial pressure suggesting WBV exercise may be a viable training modality for many, perhaps even those with compromised cardiovascular function. Study 2 demonstrated WBV exercise resulted in a greater oxygen consumption both during and following (8 and 24 h) the exercise bout compared to NoV in young healthy men (n = 8, during - 26±2.3 y, 180±8.2 cm, 84±10.1 kg and 5 of the same and 3 others following - 26±3.0 y, 179±8.3 cm, 85±7.3 kg). These increases in oxygen consumed suggest WBV exercise could be a viable training method to induce positive body composition changes with chronic exposure. Study 3 demonstrated that neither an acute bout of WBV nor NoV exercise caused a significant effect on muscle function, soreness, or inflammation in young healthy men (n = 10, 25±3.5 y, 179±7.2 cm, 81±7.9 kg). These data suggest WBV has no significant deleterious effects on muscle. Study 4 demonstrated that both the WBV and NoV exercise sessions improved insulin sensitivity in young healthy men (n=8, 27±2.4 y, 179±7.7 cm, 83±10.6 kg). These results suggest WBV may be an effective exercise mode for individuals with impaired glucose tolerance or even diabetes. Together these studies demonstrate significant potential health benefit of acute synchronous whole-body vibration exercise and illustrate a need for future mechanistic work determining how exposure to these high frequency low amplitude oscillations produce these benefits.
Download or read book Effect of Whole body Vibration on Acute Recovery After Fatiguing Exercise written by Svetlana Nepocatych and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-intensity intermittent or resistance activity for a short period of time causes an increased break down of energy stores and accumulation of metabolic by-products. Increased metabolic disturbances may lead to decreased muscle contractile function which eventually will lead to muscle fatigue. Sufficient recovery time is needed for optimal competitive performance and optimizing the ability to tolerate high-intensity, various lengths and duration training loads. There are a number of recovery modalities available that have been used between training sessions, pre- and post- training, and between competitions. In order to evaluate vibration as a recovery aid that contributes to improved performance, three studies were conducted. The first study evaluated the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) and WBV plus cooling on lower-body peak and mean anaerobic performance, leg volume, perceived recovery, and muscle soreness. The second study evaluated the effects of WBV and upper-body vibration (UBV) on upper-body performance, perceived recovery and muscle soreness, and the third study evaluated the effect of WBV on sprint performance, leg volume and perceived recovery. Healthy and physically active male and female volunteers participated in the studies. In a repeated measures, counterbalanced design, participants completed fatiguing exercise, each recovery treatment and performance test. As indicated by the group mean data, results of the first study suggested possible psychological but not performance enhancing benefits after the use of WBV and WBVC as a recovery method. The findings of the second study suggest no psychological or physiological benefits using WBV and UBV as a recovery modality. The results of the third study suggest no benefits for WBV in enhancing recovery or sprint performance. However, while actual recovery was not enhanced, perceived recovery was better after WBV compared to no vibration. Even though actual recovery or performance was not enhanced by the addition of WBV to the recovery, psychological perception of better recovery may be of some benefit for training or competition. It appears that acute exposure to WBV does not enhance performance under the conditions of this study.
