This study investigated the eff ects of biomechanical muscle stimulation (BMS) on low-back and hamstring fl exibility and perceived low-back stiff ness. Three healthy populations were examined: college-aged nonathletes, college-aged athletes, and physically active older adults. Low-back stiff ness was reported using a stiff ness Likert scale and range of motion was measured using the sit-and-reach test. Each group received BMS treatment and was retested. The college-aged nonathletes completed a…

The Acute Effect of Local Vibration As a Recovery Modality from Exercise-Induced Increased Muscle Stiffness.
TLDR
Bouts of barbell curl exercise induce an immediate increased passive stiffness of the biceps brachii muscle, as evidenced by greater shear elastic modulus measured by supersonic shear imaging.
European Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science-2501-1235
Self-myofascial releasing (SMR) exercises using foam roller equipment are thought to improve muscle performance. It is also known that local vibration (LV) exercises have been improving strength,…

TLDR
LV was an effective alternative exercise modality to acutely increase lower extremity flexibility for well-trained athletes compared with WBV and traditional stretching exercises.

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a type of exercise commonly applied as a modern exercise technique. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of WBV applied for 10-week on strength,…
Comparing the effectiveness of whole body vibration and local vibration exercise on counter-movement jump performance and its residual characteristics in well-trained athletes.
TLDR
WBV and LV were not effective methods to enhance the CMJ performance of well-trained athletes, however, WBV platform can be safely used as LV exercise equipment since no adverse effect was observed.
Occupational physical and emotional fitness.
TLDR
This commentary reviews the occupational physical and emotional fitness aspects of sports medicine and makes suggestions to examine packages and protocols of physical andotional fitness, with therapeutic targets for occupational cultures in different societies for employees and employers.
Benefits of Exercise Training For Computer-Based Staff: A Meta Analyses
TLDR
Office-based exercise training can affect pain/discomfort scores among office workers through positive effects on flexibility and strength of muscles and should be suggested to occupational therapists as a practical way for the treatment/prevention of low back pain among office Workers.

TLDR
Segmental BMS therapy using the Swisswing® device appears to have significant acute benefits for improving flexibility and reducing perceived stiffness in healthy adults with ankle or hamstring injury.
Effect of a vibration exposure on muscular performance and body balance. Randomized cross‐over study
TLDR
It is shown in this study that a single bout of whole body vibration transiently improves muscle performance of lower extremities and body balance in young healthy adults.

TLDR
SMV added to general physical therapy may improve gait performance in patients with foot drop secondary to chronic stroke, probably as a consequence of effective brain reorganization.
Flexibility enhancement with vibration: Acute and long-term.
TLDR
It is shown that vibration can be a promising means of increasing range of motion beyond that obtained with static stretching in highly trained male gymnasts.
Dynamic soft tissue mobilisation increases hamstring flexibility in healthy male subjects
TLDR
Investigating the effect of dynamic soft tissue mobilisation (STM) on hamstring flexibility in healthy male subjects found increase in hamstring flexibility was significantly greater in the dynamic STM group than either the control or classic STM groups.
Efficacy of Static Stretching and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretch on Hamstrings Length After a Single Session
TLDR
A hamstring (agonist) contract PNF is more effective than an SS in a single stretching session and where in the past therapists may have spent time conducting multiple repetitions of a PNF and an SS, a single bout of either technique may be considered just as effective.
The effect of time on static stretch on the flexibility of the hamstring muscles.
TLDR
The results of this study suggest that a duration of 30 seconds is an effective time of stretching for enhancing the flexibility of the hamstring muscles.
Acute whole body vibration training increases vertical jump and flexibility performance in elite female field hockey players
TLDR
Acute WBV causes neural potentiation of the stretch reflex loop as shown by the improved ACMVJ and flexibility performance, and muscle groups less proportionally exposed to vibration do not exhibit physiological changes that potentiate muscular performance.
