Acute effects of whole-body vibration on trunk muscles in young healthy adults
B Wirth, S Zurfluh, R Müller - Journal of electromyography and kinesiology, 2011 - Elsevier
Little is known about the impact of whole body vibration (WBV) training on trunk muscles.
Thus, this study investigated the acute effects of WBV on back and abdominal muscle
activity. Twenty-five healthy subjects (24.7±3.0 years, 17 men) conducted eight common
static exercises for the back and abdominal muscles in a random order on a vibration
platform, with and without vibration. Surface EMG was measured from back and abdominal
muscles. Vibration-induced motion artefacts were removed from the EMG signal. Muscle …
