Whole body vibration (WBV) has been proposed as an alternative exercise stimulus to
produce adaptive responses similar to resistance exercise. Few studies have analysed
acute hormonal responses to WBV. Purpose To evaluate neuromuscular and hormonal
responses to an acute bout of isometric half‐squat exercise with and without
superimposition of WBV. Methods Seven healthy males (22· 3±2· 7 years) performed 10 sets
of half squat isometric exercise for 1 min with 1‐min rest between sets. Two separate trials …
