Neuromuscular Performance and Balance Clinical Trial
Official title:
Immediate Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Neuromuscular Performance of Quadriceps Femoris and Balance of Healthy Women: a Randomized Controlled Trial
The purpose of this study is to analyze the immediate effects of two exercise protocols on the vibration platform, on the strength of the thigh muscles, joint position sense of the knee and balance in healthy subjects.

Primary | Muscle Performance measured through isokinetic dynamometry | The muscle performance will be measured through isokinetic dynamometry and the variables analyzed will be peak torque normalized for body weight, mean power, total work and time to peak torque. | Baseline, immediately after the intervention protocol | Yes |
Secondary | Proprioception measured through joint position sense in the isokinetic dynamometer | The proprioception will be measured through joint position sense | Baseline, immediately after the intervention protocol | Yes |
Secondary | Muscle activation measured through surface electromyography | Measured by surface electromyography | Baseline, immediately after the intervention protocol | Yes |
Secondary | Balance measured through baropodometry | Measured by baropodometry | Baseline, immediately after the intervention protocol | Yes |
