Eight weeks of vibration training did not impact <i>ex</i> <i>vivo</i> EDL muscle contractile function.

<p>Vibration training for 8 weeks did not influence the following EDL muscle contractile measures: <b>A)</b> maximal isometric tetanic force production, <b>B)</b> specific force, or <b>C)</b> susceptibility to eccentric contraction-induced injury compared to non-vibrated mice. As expected, <i>mdx</i> mice had lower values for each of the three measurements of EDL muscle function compared to wildtype mice. Data are means ± SE. P-values associated with the main effects of two-way ANOVAs are indicated above each set of bars in Panel A and B. In panel C, an interaction between genotype and eccentric contraction number was present, where the * signifies a significant (P<0.05) difference between <i>mdx</i> and wildtype mice from post-hoc testing. Interactions between vibration and genotype for panels A and B P≥0.329.
