“…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.

“…Vibration may causes motor unit activation, synchronization between muscle spindles, reflexive recruitment of previously inactive motor units which leads to more force production for the exercise [12]. Consequently, distribution of exercise load (contractile stress) over a larger number of active fibers, this prevent muscle damage or less reduction of ROM [17].…”

“…This lead to increase in background tension and motor unit activity synchronization in the vibrated muscles [23,24] that prevent sarcoma disruption or damage to excitation-contraction coupling [25] which occurs due to eccentric exercise. This preparatory effect leads to less damage to the muscle resulting in less pain perception in post exercise duration [12,13,17,26].…”

“…Massage can reduce the tension on the muscle tendon unit that affects the visco-eleastic component of the tissue leading to an increase in competence of the muscle and improvement of muscular flexibility reducing muscle stiffness and also increasing blood flow [14]. Researchers have demonstrated that massage has preventive effects ,decrease muscle soreness and other symptoms [15][16][17][18][19].…”

The purpose of this investigation was to examine whether adding a set of vibrating foam rollers (VFR) to a regular running‐based warm‐up before a bout of multidirectional repeated sprints provides protective effects against the sprinting‐induced muscle damage. Twenty‐four elite college handball and rugby players participated in this study. After the familiarization visit, the subjects were randomly divided into either the vibration rolling (VFR) or the general warm‐up (GW) group. Before (pretest), post‐24, 48, and 72 h after the muscle‐damaging protocol (15 sets of 30‐m maximal multi directional repeated sprints), plasma creatine kinase (CK), muscle soreness, hip flexion passive range of motion (ROM), isometric strength, and hexagon agility was measured. After the VFR, the CK and DOMS were significantly less than GW (p < 0.05). In addition, when compared with the GW, the hamstring isometric strength, hexagon agility, and 0–10 m and 0–30‐m sprint performances showed faster recovery for the VFR (p < 0.05). The VFR protocol had protective effect on multidirectional repeated sprinting‐induced muscle damage markers than GW protocol. Therefore, preconditioning warm‐up activities using VFR can be integrated into a traditional sport‐specific warm‐up protocol for elite athletes before competitions/training may take advantage of this strategy to facilitate muscle recovery.
