A Comparative Study of Whole Body Vibration Training and Conventional Training on Knee Proprioception and Postural Stability after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction. Published online 8 Jan 2008 British Journal of Sports Medicine. |
|
| The results of this study showed that Power Plate training increased postural stability and proprioceptive function (the conscious perception of limb position in space) in athletes who have had their Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstructed. | |

The Effects of Six Week Whole Body Vibration Training on Sprint. Medicine and Science in Sport and Exercise. V (37); pp: 193-194, 2005 |
|
| The findings of this study suggest that the Power Plate training method produces a significant improvement in the vertical squat jump, as well as in the performance of a 60 m sprint, whereas the strength characteristics did not show any significant differences. | |

Effects of whole-body vibration training on sprint running kinematics and explosive strength performance. Journal of Sports Science and Medicine. 6, pp: 44-49, 2007 |
|
| The conclusion of this study is that a Power Plate training period of 6 weeks produces significant positive changes in kinematical characteristics of sprint running (step length, step rate and running velocity). | |

Comparing the effects of various whole-body vibration acceleration on counter-movement jump performance. Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, 7, pp: 144-150, 2008 |
|
| The purpose of this study was to determine which Power Plate intensity has the greatest effect on height of a vertical jump and the duration of that affect, if any exists. Results show that one 45 second bout of Power Plate at 2.94g (40 Hz, 2-4 mm) seems to be the most effective stimulus for the female population, which did not include elite athletes. Males may require a greater duration or volume of vibration exposure to elicit greater effects. | |

The effects of a whole-body vibration program on muscle performance and flexibility in female athletes American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, pp956-961, 2006 |
|
| The conclusion of this study demonstrated that Whole-Body vibration is a suitable training method to improve knee extension maximal strength, counter-movement jump and flexibility for young female athletes. | |

|
| This study concludes that WBV leads to an increased co-activation of the extensor and flexor muscles of the lower extremities and has positive effects on joint stabilization and improves circulation. | |

Effect of whole body vibration on muscular performance, balance and bone University of Tampere, Finland, 2003 |
|
| The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the effects of whole body vibration loading on bone, physical performance, and body balance of young and healthy adults, and thus find new regimens to prevent falls and osteoporotic fractures. | |

Effect of four-month vertical whole body vibration on performance and balance Official Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine, pp.1523-1528, 2002 |
|
| This study investigates the effects of a 4-month whole body vibration intervention on muscle performance and body balance of young, healthy volunteers, using a randomized controlled study design. | |

Acute Effects of Whole-Body Vibration on Muscle Activity, Strength, and Power. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 20(2), 257–261, 2006 |
|
| The result of this study was that an increased jump height can be recorded immediately after the vibration treatment compared to the sham (no vibration) treatment. Although not significant, subjects’ peak force, jump height and peak power decreased less after vibration compared to sham immediately, 5 minutes and 15 minutes post treatment, meaning that subjects performed at a higher level after the vibration treatment. | |
