peer-reviewedWhole-body vibration (WBV) has been shown to improve performance in stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) activities; this is dependent on musculotendinous stiffness prior to the concentric phase of movement (Anderson, 1996, Sports Medicine, 22, 76-89). This study aimed to examine acute effects of WBV on musculotendinous stiffness (KTS) and reactive strength index (RSITS) of the triceps surae. Following institutional ethical approval, seven trained males (mean age 22.1, s = 1.4 yrs; mean height 1.84, s = 0.06 m; mean weight 87.0, s = 7.5 kg) volunteered for this study. Pre-tests were conducted on each leg immediately prior to vibration of the dominant leg. Subjects lay on a bench with the tested leg and thigh secured. A sledge device...
