Muscle Dynamics As The Result Of Whole Body Vibration And Plyometrics, Richard Jeremy Hubbard
Muscle Dynamics As The Result Of Whole Body Vibration And Plyometrics, Richard Jeremy Hubbard
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
BACKGROUND: Whole body (WBV) vibration and plyometrics are common training techniques which increase strength, blood flow, force and power. The effects these techniques have on sedentary population is unknown. It is our aim to assess the effectiveness of WBV and plyometrics on sedentary population. SUBJECTS: Three groups of nine sedentary subjects were assigned to either the control group (C), jumping only group (J), or jumping with vibration group (JV). METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Measurements included: jump height (Myotest or Vertec), velocity, force, blood lactates, gastrocnemius and quadriceps strength, and exertion (RPE). Subjects were measured at the first, seventh, and eighteenth visits. …
