“…These differences are important because the upper and lower body musculature may respond differently and different levels of vibration may elicit different responses. Whereas some researchers 20,21 have reported a decrease in muscle-pain rating (eg, DOMS intensity), they also have shown that PPTs were not different with vibration treatment, which is consistent with our observations. Another consideration is sex differences.…”

“…In their study of women only, Dannecker and Sluka 29 reported similar results in PPT measures, showing an increase in sensitivity up to 2 days after exercise, but did not have a WBV intervention. Researchers 17,[20][21][22] investigating men only have reported mixed results for different measures along with a different training status of male participants. More research using pain measures after DOMS is needed to determine if responses differ between sexes.…”

“…Another consideration is sex differences. We investigated only recreationally trained women; however, other researchers have studied men only, 17,[20][21][22] women only, 29 or men and women together 18 but have not compared sex differences in pain measures after DOMS. In their study of women only, Dannecker and Sluka 29 reported similar results in PPT measures, showing an increase in sensitivity up to 2 days after exercise, but did not have a WBV intervention.…”

“…Local vibration applied directly to a damaged muscle has been reported to lead to heightened pain sensitivity, as evidenced by reduced pressure-pain thresholds (PPTs), 8,9,17 likely due to central sensitization of large-fiber mechanoreceptors. Conversely, prophylactic 18,19 application of whole-body vibration (WBV) before eccentric exercise and therapeutic application of both direct 20,21 and WBV plus stretching 22 have been shown to reduce perceived levels of pain after EIMD.…”

Context: Research into alleviating muscle pain and symptoms in individuals after delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) has been inconsistent and unsuccessful in demonstrating a useful recovery modality.Objective: To investigate the effects of short-term wholebody vibration (WBV) on DOMS over a 72-hour period after a high-intensity exercise protocol.Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial. Setting: University laboratory.Patients or Other Participants: Thirty women volunteered to participate in 4 testing sessions and were assigned randomly to a WBV group (n ¼ 16; age ¼ 21.0 6 1.9 years, height ¼ 164.86 6 6.73 cm, mass ¼ 58.58 6 9.32 kg) or a control group (n ¼ 14; age ¼ 22.00 6 1.97 years, height ¼ 166.65 6 8.04 cm, mass ¼ 58.69 6 12.92 kg).Intervention(s): Participants performed 4 sets to failure of single-legged split squats with 40% of their body weight to induce muscle soreness in the quadriceps. The WBV or control treatment was administered each day after DOMS.Main Outcome Measure(s): Unilateral pressure-pain threshold (PPT), range of motion (ROM), thigh circumference, and muscle-pain ratings of the quadriceps were collected before and for 3 days after high-intensity exercise. Each day, we collected 3 sets of measures, consisting of 1 measure before the WBV or control treatment protocol (pretreatment) and 2 sets of posttreatment measures.Results: We observed no interactions for PPT, thigh circumference, and muscle pain (P . .05). An interaction was found for active ROM (P ¼ .01), with the baseline pretreatment measure greater than the measures at baseline posttreatment 1 through 48 hours posttreatment 2 in the WBV group. For PPT, a main effect for time was revealed (P , .05), with the measure at baseline pretreatment greater than at 24 hours pretreatment and all other time points for the vastus medialis, greater than 24 hours pretreatment through 48 hours posttreatment 2 for the vastus lateralis, and greater than 24 hours pretreatment and 48 hours pretreatment for the rectus femoris. For dynamic muscle pain, we observed a main effect for time (P , .001), with the baseline pretreatment measure less than the measures at all other time points. No main effect for time was noted for thigh circumference (P ¼ .24). No main effect for group was found for any variable (P . .05).Conclusions: The WBV treatment approach studied did not aid in alleviating DOMS after high-intensity exercise. Further research is needed in various populations.Key Words: range of motion, edema, pressure-pain threshold Key PointsExposure to whole-body vibration did not effectively manage delayed-onset muscle soreness after high-intensity exercise in healthy, recreationally trained women. Researchers should study treatments to alleviate muscle pain in various populations.

“…DOMS often develops after resistance training especially after the intensity and volume of training are increased, the order of exercise is changed or a new training regime is performed [4]. Numerous interventions aimed at alleviating DOMS has been proposed like Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) [5], ultrasound [6] and the administration of aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs [7], steroids [8] and vitamin C and other antioxidants [9].…”

The effects of vibration therapy on muscle force loss following eccentrically induced muscle damage

et al. 2011

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of acute vibration therapy (VT) on performance recovery after a bout of strenuous eccentric exercise. Eight healthy males completed 300 maximal eccentric contractions of the quadriceps of one leg on an isokinetic dynamometer. Immediately after exercise and 12 and 24 h post-exercise, the subjects underwent either VT or a control treatment of no VT. Five sets of 1 min VT was performed at 26 Hz, with 6 mm peak-to-peak displacement, on a commercially available vibration machine. At least 2 weeks after the initial trial, the subjects completed the second trial using the contralateral leg and other treatment. Peak and average peak isometric tension and isokinetic concentric and eccentric torque were measured prior to exercise and 24 and 48 h post-exercise. Treatment with VT resulted in significantly (all P < 0.05) greater decrements in peak (-38%) and average peak eccentric (-39%) torque 24 h after eccentric exercise as compared to a control treatment (-24 and -29%, respectively). These results suggest that the use of 26 Hz VT in the first 24 h after damaging exercise may be detrimental to the magnitude of force loss and/or recovery over this period.

Vibration therapy reduces plasma IL6 and muscle soreness after downhill running

Abstract: VT reduces muscle soreness and IL6. It may stimulate lymphocyte and neutrophil responses and may be a useful modality in treating muscle inflammation.
