TL;DR: It is concluded that high-frequency/high peak-to-peak displacement was the most effective vibration setting to enhance knee extensor muscle strength and jump performance during a 6-week WBV training program and that these improvements were not mediated by central neural adaptations.

TL;DR: The results of the present study indicated that a 4-week whole-body vibration training program added to the conventional training of basketball players during the preseason is an effective short-term stimulus to enhance knee extensor strength and slightly SJ performance.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of 4 weeks of whole-body vibration training added to the conventional training of basketball players. Eighteen competitive basketball players (13 male symbol, 5 female symbol, 18-24 years old) were randomly assigned to a whole-body vibration group (WBVG, n = 10; 7 male symbol and 3 female symbol) or a control group (CG, n = 8; 6 male symbol and 2 female symbol). During the 4-week period, all subjects maintained their conventional basketball training program. The members of WBVG were additionally trained 3 times a week for 20 minutes on a vibration platform (10 unloaded static lower limb exercises, 40-Hz, 4-mm, Silverplate). Testing was performed before and after the 4-week period and comprised strength assessment, vertical jump performance, and a 10-m sprint test. The maximal voluntary isometric strength of the knee extensors significantly increased (p < 0.001) after vibration training, as did squat jump (SJ) height (p < 0.05), whereas performance of the countermovement jump, drop jump, 30-second rebound jump, and 10-m sprint remained unchanged. The results of the present study indicated that a 4-week whole-body vibration training program added to the conventional training of basketball players during the preseason is an effective short-term stimulus to enhance knee extensor strength and slightly SJ performance.

Abstract: La fatigue a ete etudiee a partir de differents modeles d’exercice musculaire, de protocoles et de methodes d’evaluation Puisqu’un signal electromyographique de surface contient des informations sur les caracteristiques neurophysiologiques et morphologiques des muscles actifs, l’electromyographie de surface (EMGs) a ete utilisee pour etudier la fatigue musculaire Le caractere non invasif de cette technique est particulierement interessant, bien que le signal electromyographique enregistre soit complexe De nouvelles methodes EMGs (ie, electrodes en ligne, systemes multicanaux, EMGs « haute-densite ») ont ete recemment developpees afin de permettre de mieux apprecier les mecanismes neurophysiologiques qui sous-tendent l’apparition de la fatigue Cet article presente les avancees technologiques majeures dans le developpement et l’interet de ces methodes pour quantifier la fatigue musculaire
