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 The Effect of Whole Body Vibration on Lower Body Resistance Detraining written by Keston G. Lindsay and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored the effect of whole body vibration (WBV) with magnitudes between 2.56 g and 7.68 g on detraining of the 5-repetition maximum (5RM) squat, extensors and flexors of the knee and the flexors and extensors of the ankle. All participants were trained using a lower body resistance lifting program. Exercises performed included the squat, hang cleans, knee extensions, hamstring curls, toe presses and dorsiflexion exercises. All participants were trained one to three times per week for 6 weeks. At the end of the program (Week 6), they were randomized onto either a control group which performed no further training or a WBV group which performed a progressive static WBV program.

Download or read book Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Force Output in the Sit to stand Maneuver written by Diane Z. Ugartechea and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aging can result in the reduction of muscle power and strength, ultimately affecting performance in activities of daily living. A decline in functional independence can lead older adults to rely not only on family but also the public healthcare system for assistance. Sit-to-stand testing is a functional measure of human performance in older adults. It is also used as an exercise in rehabilitation settings to increase hip and knee extensor strength and power in the elderly for improved gait performance. Whole-body vibration is a novel tool that is gaining popularity in exercise science and rehabilitation to potentiate a greater force and power output during exercise. It has been documented that whole-body vibration can improve functional performance testing in older adults. This thesis demonstrated positive effects of whole-body vibration on force output and time during the sit-to-stand test with trends in greater improvements resulting from side-alternating vibration.
Download or read book The Effect of Whole Body Vibration on Back Squat Standing Long Jump and Vertical Counter movement Jump Performance written by Barry M. Parker and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of the investigation was to examine the effects of Whole Body Vibration (WBV) on lower body strength and power as measured through estimated 1-RM back squat, standing long jump, and vertical counter-movement jump. Female (N = 9) collegiate Division III varsity softball players completed the training and testing protocol. Each subject completed 3 weeks of WBV training and 3 weeks of conventional strength training. All subjects were pretested to gather baseline values. Subjects were tested at week 4 and week 8 to measure percent change of testing values. Three 2 X 2 mixed factorial ANOVAs were computed for percent change in lower body strength and power. No significant difference (p > .05) was found between groups in percent change for standing long jump, vertical counter-movement jump, and estimated 1-RM back squat. No significant differences (p > .05) were found between groups and testing period in percent change for estimated 1-RM back squat, standing long jump, and vertical counter-movement jump.
