“…It has been shown to improve upper and lower body muscular activity in both trained and untrained individuals [7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Previous research indicates WBV exposure at a moderate intensity is safe and effective in stimulating the neuromuscular system [4] and has been shown to induce non-voluntary muscle contractions [17].…”

“…WBV is increasingly being utilized as a warm-up for its potentiating effects prior to performance [5,8,13,16,24,28,29], to prepare the body for active performance instead of traditional warm-up techniques [30][31][32]. Further, WBV has been used passively and/or combined with active movements due to its reported acute performance enhancing effects [5,8].…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different rest intervals following whole-body vibration on counter-movement vertical jump performance. Sixteen females, eight recreationally trained and eight varsity athletes volunteered to participate in four testing visits separated by 24 h. Visit one acted as a familiarization visit where subjects were introduced to the counter-movement vertical jump and whole-body vibration protocols. Visits 2-4 contained 2 randomized conditions. Whole-body vibration was administered in four bouts of 30 s with 30 s rest between bouts. During whole-body vibration subjects performed a quarter squat every 5 s, simulating a counter-movement vertical jump. Whole-body vibration was followed by three counter-movement vertical jumps with five different rest intervals between the vibration exposure and jumping. For a control condition, subjects performed squats with no whole-body vibration. There was a significant (p < 0.05) main effect for time for vertical jump height, peak power output, and relative ground reaction forces, where a majority of individuals max jump from all whole-body vibration conditions was greater than the control condition. There were significant (p < 0.05) group differences, showing that varsity athletes had a greater vertical jump height and peak power output OPEN ACCESSSports 2015, 3 259 compared to recreationally trained females. There were no significant (p > 0.05) group differences for relative ground reaction forces. Practitioners and/or strength and conditioning coaches may utilize whole-body vibration to enhance acute counter-movement vertical jump performance after identifying individuals optimal rest time in order to maximize the potentiating effects.

“…The data of previous studies support the positive effects of Whole Body Vibration on balance (Despina et al, 2014). However, studies that investigate the effects of Whole Body Vibration Training on the balance of trained athletes and non-training individuals are limited (Fort et al, 2012;Despina et al, 2014;Torvinen et al, 2002b).…”

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of acute Whole Body Vibration (WBV) on static and dynamic balance in physical education students. A total of 30 healthy physical education students participated in this study. The participants were divided into two groups as the Control Group (n = 15) and the Whole Body Vibration group (n = 15). The control group did not carry out any trainings; and the WBV group did acute WBV. The first measurements of height, weight, flamingo balance test for static balance, and the Y balance test for dynamic balance were made for both groups before applying the WBV program. The final measurements were made right after the WBV application. Results are presented as mean ± standard deviation. The values that were obtained from the pre-test and post-test were analyzed with the paired sample t-test after their normality was checked with the Shapire-Wilk Test. The comparisons between the groups were analyzed by using an independent sample t-test at a significance level of p < 0.05. The flamingo balance test was applied to determine the static balance values. According to the flamingo balance test, there was a significant difference between the right leg pre-test and post-test values of the WBV group (p < 0.05). A significant difference was detected between the left leg pre-test and post-test values of the WBV group (p < 0.05). The Y balance test was applied to determine the dynamic balance results. There was a significant difference between the right leg pre-test and post-test values of the WBV group (p < 0.05). There was a significant difference between the left leg pre-test and post-test values of the WBV group. It was determined that the acute WBV has a positive effect on static and dynamic balance.

“…Flexibility can be trained using different stretching methods such as static, ballistic, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and its main functions are to maintain or increase the range of motion, to prevent injury, to delay muscle pain and, if practiced chronically, to improve physical performance 7 . Thus, these different stretching methods are often used as a complementary part of the warm-up routine [8][9][10] . Accordingly, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends using 30-60 s of stretching to obtain optimal flexibility benefits 1 .…”

Aims: The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects between different volumes of static stretching (SS) and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching (30 and 60 seconds) on the maximum number of repetitions at 40 and 80% 1RM and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). Methods: Eleven recreationallytrained women (26.45 ± 5.27 years) performed ten experimental protocols using a repeated measures crossover design: (a) 30 s of SS followed by 40% of 1RM (SS1); (b) 60 s of SS followed by 40% of 1RM (SS2); (c) 30 s of SS followed by 80% of 1RM (SS3); (d) 60 s of SS followed by 80% of 1RM (SS4); (e) 30 s of PNF followed by 40% of 1RM (PNF1); (f) 60 s of PNF followed by 40% of 1RM (PNF2); (g) 30 s of PNF followed by 80% of 1RM (PNF3); (h) 60 s of PNF followed by 80% of 1RM (PNF4); (i) 40% of 1RM with no stretching (NS1); and (j) 80% of 1RM with no stretching (NS2). In both stretching protocols, shoulder girdle muscle exercises were performed. Results: Stretching volume did not seem to significantly decrease the number of repetitions after a bench press session (p > 0.05). However, RPE was greater for PNF2 (28.5 ± 1.0; p = 0.016) when compared with PNF1 (26.9 ± 1.9). Conclusion: Stretching volume does not seem to decrease the maximum number of repetitions after a bench press session; however, greater stretching volume appears to increase perception of effort in women when using PNF stretching of longer duration.
