|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bongiovanni and Hagbarth, 1990 | 5 H ♀ (♂, ♀ = NR) |
Direct vibration dorsiflexor muscles | SS | 150 | 1.5 | 20-25 s | Vibration had no effect on firing frequency of non-fatiguing muscle, however vibration caused an increase in EMG, force and firing frequency during fatiguing isometric maximal voluntary contractions. |
| Griffin et al., 2001 | 7 H (3♂, 4♀) | Direct Vibration triceps & biceps brachii | Isometric | 110 | 3 | 2 s every 10 s |
The firing frequency of the triceps significantly increased when vibration was applied during 20% MVC |
