The
aim
of
this
study
was
to
examine
the
effects
of
8
weeks
of
whole
body
vibration
(WBV)
training
on
vertical
jump
ability
(CMJ)
and
knee-extensor
performance
at
selected
external
loads
(50,
70,
and
100
kg;
leg-press
exercise)
in
elite
ballerinas.
Twenty-two
(age,
21.25
+/-
1.5
years)
full-time
ballerinas
were
assigned
randomly
to
the
experimental
(E,
n
=
11)
and
control
(C,
n
=
11)
groups.
The
experimental
group
was
submitted
to
WBV
training
3
times
per
week
before
ballet
practice.
During
the
training
period,
the
E
and
C
groups
undertook
the
same
amount
of
ballet
practice.
Posttraining
CMJ
performance
significantly
increased
in
E
group
(6.3
+/-
3.8%,
p
<
0.001).
Furthermore,
E
group
showed
significant
(p
<
0.05-0.001)
posttraining
average
leg-press
power
and
velocity
improvements
at
all
the
external
loads
considered.
Consequently,
the
force-velocity
and
power-velocity
relationship
shifted
to the right after WBV training in the E group.
The
results
of
the
present
study
show
that
WBV
training
is
an
effective
short-term
training
methodology
for
inducing improvements in knee-extensor explosiveness in elite ballerinas.
