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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 2019 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several decades, technological advances in computers, transportation devices, and other automated devices have decreased the need for human locomotion and physical activity in the workplace and at home. The need to be physically active in order to sustain and prosper in life has been almost fully eliminated by these technological advances. As a result, sedentary patterns of living have become more prevalent throughout all socioeconomic levels. Age related injuries and conditions including falls and osteoporosis can be debilitating or life ending and have been associated with sedentary behaviors as these can lead to decreased range of motion, muscular atrophy, impaired balance and motor control, reduced gait stability and speed, lower bone density, and subsequent falls. However, muscle weakness, dysfunction, and immobility do not have to consume an individual because the implementation of proper exercise interventions throughout the lifespan can delay or prevent age related injuries.Unfortunately, once a body has entered a state of detraining and lowered function it is often very difficult to reestablish neuromuscular control and bone density by using traditional exercise movements. The types of movements that will densify bones and replace degenerating muscle tissues are often very aggressive and require extensive equipment and supervision. Therefore, there is a need for a therapeutic intervention that can reinvigorate and reestablish neuromuscular control and bone density with little effort. The focus of the following studies is to investigate how the use of whole-body vibration as an exercise modality can improve physical function, as the study findings suggest this method of movement could be a solution to atrophy,weakness, and poor balance.Chapter 2 of this work presents a review of literature on whole-body vibration published in the Practical Pain Management journal. It addresses the current literature on a myriad of factors including pain, flexibility, bone density, balance, strength, and pulmonary rehabilitation.This review presents the findings of 65 studies, all which incorporate the use of a whole-body vibration platform on different populations, all possessing the common goal of assessing the body's response to vibration. Every condition studied in the review showed improvement,including pulmonary conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This review of literature established and enhanced the author's curiosity and drive to perform additional studies using whole-body vibration as an exercise modality.Study 1 (Chapter 3) investigates the use of whole-body vibration on an active population with an average age of 53 years old and a max age of 69 years old. The subjects recruited were recreationally active golfers who did not partake it any specific fitness regimen or strength training program. The assessments administered to the study participants were chosen to reflect physical characteristics needed for golfing; however, these variables are also important in tracking and determining age related physical function. Subjects were tested for power using a kneeling medicine ball explosive chest pass, dynamic balance using the Y-Balance TestTM, core muscle endurance using the timed plank, and contralateral movement efficiency using a kineticstool called Fusionetics®. The study participants were separated into 3 groups, one which performed 4 simple body weight movements while standing on the whole-body vibration platform (VIB), one which completed the same movements while standing on stable group (GRD), and a control group who was asked to maintain their current regimen and not add additional exercise in (CON). There were significant improvements for VIB group (p

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if whole body vibration effects strength gains in the bench press, the back squat, and the power clean in division 1 football players. Thirty-one NCAA Division 1 male football players volunteered for this study and were randomly assigned to a control group (C=16) or one of two vibration groups (V1=7, V2=8). Subjects followed the training program for eight weeks. A pre-test, mid-test, and post-test one repetition max was measured at 0, 4, and 8 weeks for the bench press, the back squat, and the power clean. A 3x3 factorial ANOVA revealed varied results between the three lifts performed. In the bench press, there were no significant differences in strength gains between the three training groups (F=.616, p=.547). In addition, there was no significant interaction (F=1.05, p=3.74). There were significant differences between trials in the bench press in strength gains (F=7.570, p=.006). In the back squat, there were no significant differences in strength gains between the three training groups (F=.847, p=.440). In addition, there were no significant differences in interaction (F=1.734, p=1.83). There were significant differences between trials in the back squat in strength gains (F=17.111, p

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.
