Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of using whole-body vibrations exposure during a biceps curl set to failure (70% one-repetition maximum load) on number of repetitions performed, perceived exertion, as well as velocity- and acceleration-related parameters. Twenty-three recreationally active students (19 males and 4 females) completed one set of the biceps curl exercise with and without vibration applied. Results indicate that the vibration platform provides additional stimulus for biceps curl performance, enhancing the number of maximal repetitions achieved throughout a set to volitional exhaustion at 70% one-repetition maximum. These findings suggest that vibration can have a significant influence on exercise performance, even when the stimulus is not applied directly to the muscle group being stressed.
