Abstract

PURPOSE: Application of an oscillating program for the lower extremities is an effective training method for increasing muscle strength.However, no oscillatory program has yet been identified to confirm the effectiveness of oscillation for balance ability and maximum muscle strength.We investigated the effects of an 8-week vibration exercise program on the maximum muscle strength and balance of the lower extremities.METHODS: Research subjects participating in the study were 22 male and female college students with no past history of diseases of the nervous or musculoskeletal systems.All subjects were randomly divided into two groups and performed their assigned experimental treatment 3 times a †Corresponding
