| Wakeling and Nigg, 2001 | 14 HP (7♂, 7♀) |
Voluntary contractions | Isometric & isotonic |
NA | NA | NA | Soft tissue vibration frequency and damping increased with both the force production and the shortening velocity of the muscle. |
| Wakeling et al., 2002 |
10 HP (♂) | VV platform | Standing upright | 10-65 | 5 | 6 s | Increased EMG activity and damping of vibration occurred when the frequency input was close to the natural frequency of the soft tissue. |
