| Abstract |
Whole-body vibration (WBV) leads to a rapid increase in intra-muscular temperature and enhances muscle power. The power-enhancing effects by WBV can, at least in part, be explained by intra-muscular temperature. However, this does not exclude possible neural effects of WBV occurring at the spinal level. The aim of this study was to examine if muscle twitch and patellar reflex properties were simultaneously potentiated from an acute bout of WBV in a static squat position. Six male and six female athletes performed three interventions for 5 min, static squat with WBV (WBV+, 26 Hz), static squat without WBV (WBV-) and stationary cycling (CYCL, 70 W). Transcutaneous muscle stimulation consisting of a single 200 micros pulse and three patellar tendon taps were administered prior to and then 90 s, 5, 10 min post-intervention. Ninety-seconds after WBV+ muscle twitch peak force (PF) and rate of force development (RFD) were significantly higher (P < 0.01) compared to WBV- and CYCL. However the patellar tendon reflex was not potentiated. An acute continuous bout of WBV caused a post-activation potentiation (PAP) of muscle twitch potentiation (TP) compared to WBV- and CYCL indicating that a greater myogenic response was evident compared to a neural-mediated effect of a reflex potentiation (RP). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 November 2013.
All research outputs
#20,655,488
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Applied Physiology
#3,712
of 4,345 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#97,616
of 106,406 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Applied Physiology
#37
of 45 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,345 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.6. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 106,406 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 45 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
