South Florida Education Research Conference
Context: While research suggests whole body vibration (WBV) positively affects measures of neuromuscular performance in athletes, researchers have yet to address appropriate and effective vibration protocols.
Objective: To identify the acute effects of continuous and intermittent WBV on muscular power and agility in recreationally active females.
Design: We used a randomized 3-period cross-over design to observe the effects of 3 vibration protocols on muscular power and agility.
Setting: Sports Science and Medicine Research Laboratory at Florida International University.
Patients or Other Participants: Eleven recreationally active female volunteers (age=24.4±5.7y; ht=166.0±10.3cm; mass=59.7±14.3kg).
Interventions: Each session, subjects stood on the Galileo WBV platform …
