Active versus local vibration warm-up effects on knee extensors stiffness and neuromuscular performance of healthy young males

To compare the effects of local-vibration and active warm-up on knee extensors muscle stiffness and neuromuscular performance. Experimental crossover study. Thirteen participants performed three 15-min warm-up protocols of control (CON), active (ACT) and local-vibration (LV) in separate testing sess...

Description
Summary:To compare the effects of local-vibration and active warm-up on knee extensors muscle stiffness and neuromuscular performance. Experimental crossover study. Thirteen participants performed three 15-min warm-up protocols of control (CON), active (ACT) and local-vibration (LV) in separate testing session. Passive stiffness of vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus medialis (VM) by shear wave elastography and neuromuscular performance were assessed before and 2-min after each condition. A decrease in muscle stiffness was reported after ACT for VL (−16.0±6.6%; p
