Abbreviations: WBV = whole body vibration training group, C = control group, SL 1 = stride length of the first stride, SL 2 = stride length of the second stride, SR 1 = stride rate of the first stride, SR 2 = stride rate of the second stride Significantly different from Pre test (p < 0.05) as determined by repeated measures analysis of variance and Tukey tests.
