The aim of this study was to assess the effects of 8 weeks of whole-body vibrations on
explosive and reactive leg strength. Thirty-three physically active students took part in the
study and were randomly assigned to an individualized-vibration group, a fixed-vibration
group or a control group. The frequency of vibration was set to 30 Hz for the fixed-vibration
group, whereas the frequency for the individualized-vibration group was determined by
monitoring the participants' EMGrms activity. The participants in the two vibration groups …
