“…Several studies have demonstrated the negative effects that plantar flexor fatigue has on the ability to maintain standing balance (6)(7)(8). Plantar flexor fatigue was shown to create both short term and long term postural instability in the AnteriorPosterior (AP) direction in healthy adults (6), as well as university age individuals (7).…”

“…Plantar flexor fatigue was shown to create both short term and long term postural instability in the AnteriorPosterior (AP) direction in healthy adults (6), as well as university age individuals (7). Fatigue must be localized to muscles involved in postural support, for example plantar flexors, rather than a general state of fatigue (8).This reduction in postural control ability could cause a decrease in performance and place individuals at an increased risk of injury.…”

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that fatigue of the plantar flexor muscles and mental tasks each can lead to impaired balance. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of a combined increase in cognitive load and plantar flexor fatigue can have on standing balance. Methods: Fifteen (7 males, 8 females) healthy individuals participated in one testing session. Prior to testing, participants were screened for existing balance and plantar flexor health issues via a medical history questionnaire. Participants performed a total of twelve standing balance trials, each 30 seconds in duration. These trials consisted of three control, three recall, three fatigue, and three fatigue recall trials. For each trial, participants closed their eyes and stood with their feet together on a force plate. Recall ability was evaluated based on the participant’s ability to accurately complete the reverse digit recall section of the SCAT-3. Plantar flexor fatigue was achieved by performing five repetitions of standing calf raises. Each repetition consisted of a five second eccentric contraction, a five second concentric contraction, and a five second isometric contraction. The means of the 90% radius of the center of pressure was compared to the standing baseline across all conditions. Results:Similar significant differences were found across 90% radius and center of pressure in both medial-lateral and anterior-posterior directions. Across all three variables, the recall condition was not significantly different (p>0.05) than control standing. Both fatigue and fatigue recall conditions were significantly different (p<0.05) Conclusion: Collectively, the data indicates that fatigue, rather than recall, had a greater effect on all measured variables of balance. This suggests that balance is a primarily muscle driven task, and not a mental task.

“…In our study by protecting Cairns et al's 1 study, we limited emerging fatigue condition as jumping heights that is below the post DJ jumping heights. Gimmon et al (14) applied fatigue protocol to plantar flexor and the muscles in the upper extremity. In the CoP-sway measurements that they practiced after fatigue protocol which they especially applied to plantar flexor muscles, statistically significant substitution on anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) axis.…”

The aim of the performed study is to present the acute effect of the whole body vibration (WBV) stimuli on drop jump (DJ) and postural control performance. 13 athletes who play in Turkish Women Volleyball Second League voluntarily attended to the study (22.3±2.6 age; 60.72kg ±1.74kg; 1.79cm±6.4cm). Athletes were randomly divided into three groups (group 1: n=4: 30Hz; group 2: n=5: 35; group 3: n=4: 40Hz). Before fatigue protocol, every participant's rest center of pressure-sway (CoP-sway) and DJ measurements on force plate were taken. Statistical whole body vibration measurements were practiced on Compex WINPLATE on different frequency (30-35-40Hz), on high amplitude, in the manner that knee flexion angle is 120 0 in 60 seconds. DJ breaking point which is determined for each athlete was applied as DJ jump height after vibration. Just after the fatigue protocol was completed, athletes' CoP-sway measurements after fatigue were practiced on force plate. Different frequency measurements taken to analyse the effects on DJ height of frequency at specific amplitudes were evaluated by ANOVA analysis. Based on variance homogeneity test, the Tukey or Tamhane methods were used for multiple comparisons. A statistical analysis with a paired Student's t test was used to compare pre-vibration and post-vibration treatment values of jumping height at the DJ test. DJ performance is affected by WBV stimuli in different frequency, CoP-sway values and especially fatigue situation in AP direction (p<0.05). In conclusion, 30Hz-35Hz and 40Hz WBV stimuli has an acute effect on DJ performance beside that 35 Hz WBV definitely has the greatest effect.

Objective. Previous studies have demonstrated that various factors alter postural stability. Our aim was to examine the effect of plantar flexor fatigue on postural stability in quiet standing. Methods. Fifteen healthy male university students (age, 21.3 ± 1.7y; height, 1.83 ± 0.06m; weight, 81.6 ± 9.4kg) were instructed to stand on a force plate before and after calf fatiguing exercise. The sensory systems were controlled by blindfolding subjects and having them stand on a flat firm surface, without moving their head. Fatigue was achieved through repetitive weighted plantarflexor exercise. Standing balance was assessed by using a force plate to calculate Center of Pressure (CoP) displacement.
