Effects of Vibrations on the Biceps Brachii Muscle and Grip Strength

August 29, 2022 updated by: Masood Khan, King Saud University

Effects of Localized Vibration Training on the Biceps Brachii Muscle and Grip Strength in Healthy Adult Males: An Experimental Study

It has been suggested that applying acute vibration exercises enhances muscle force, like several weeks of resistance training. The present study investigated the effects of local vibration with two different frequencies on biceps brachii isometric muscle strength and grip strength in healthy young men. Isometric strength of the biceps brachii muscle and grip strength were assessed at baseline and after vibration training (immediate, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes post vibration training).
