Issue Date: | 2007 | Publisher: | Vibromechanika, Vilnius, Lithuania | Source: | JOURNAL OF VIBROENGINEERING, 9(4). p. 50-54 | Abstract: | In this study the effects of electrovibrostimulation training are compared with classical powertraining, in a group of 18-24 years old healthy sportsmen, during the spring season of 2007. Former studies showed the effectiveness of electrovibrostimulation on the functional condition of muscles: increase of the strength in the active insufficiency zone and increase of the elasticity in the passive insufficiency zone, consequently improving joint strength and mobility. After four weeks of electrovibrostimulation, applied twice a week, significant increases of isometric strength and explosive strength were observed, whereas the flexibility remained the same. Some hypotheses are discussed concerning the possible working mechanisms of electrovibrostimulation. | Keywords: | Sportsmen training, whole body vibration, electrovibrostimulation, musculoskeletal apparatus. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/7733 | ISI #: | 000255783300010 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2009 |
