[13, 14]. Further, it has been purported that VbX augments muscle spindle activity that
causes a stretch-reflex response and elicits a rapid but small change in muscle length [21],
which is of importance to those with diseased tissue or neurological problems. The change
in muscle activity is likely to evoke a small increase in oxygen uptake, which suggests
muscle energy turnover exists where VbX may have a beneficial effect for cardiovascular
indices, such as blood pressure, blood flow and heart rate. Despite its wide use in sport …
