The first purpose of the present study was to assess acute, residual and chronic effects of
whole-body vibration on hamstring and lower back flexibility through the application of an
individual frequency of vibration. The second purpose was to determine whether the applied
vibration intervention over time influences flexibility and reactive strength differently. Thirty-
four young physically active subjects (19 female and 15 male) were randomly assigned to
either a Control or a Vibration Group. Lower back and hamstring flexibility was measured …
