Effects of Vibrations on the Biceps Brachii Muscle and Grip Strength

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).

Primary outcomes

  1. Isometric strength of Biceps brachii muscle

    Time frame: 20 minutes

    Isomeric strength of the biceps brachii muscle of the dominant arm was measured at an Angle of 90 degree flexion using a handheld dynamometer

  2. Hand grip strength

    Time frame: 20 minutes

    Hand grip strength was measured using a standard adjustable Jamar hand dynamometer.
