Clinical Trial Summary

It has been suggested that applying acute vibration exercises enhances muscle force, like several weeks of resistance training. The present study investigated the effects of local vibration with two different frequencies on biceps brachii isometric muscle strength and grip strength in healthy young men. Isometric strength of the biceps brachii muscle and grip strength were assessed at baseline and after vibration training (immediate, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes post vibration training).
