This type of training was applied in sport performance
through the research of Ramas et al. [9]. In recent
years, whole body vibration training has been utilized more
as a neuromuscular training technique [10] and as a method
for injury rehabilitation and prevention method [11]. Some
authors have suggested that whole body vibration training
can be used for improvement of balance and proprioception
[12]. There is some evidence indicating that whole-body vibration
training can improve neuromuscular function [13].
Therefore, this study investigated the immediate effect of
unilateral whole body vibration training on muscle performance
and static balance. We hypothesized that unilateral
whole body vibration would result in significant improvement
of muscle performance and static balance.
