Good Vibrations: Is vibration training a natural way to train?
During all sporting activities our bodies interact with the external environment and experience externally applied forces. These forces induce vibrations within the tissues of the body. Tissue vibrations can be induced from impact related events where either a part of the body or sporting equipment in contact with the body collides with an object. Examples of this are the impact shocks that are experienced through the leg when the heel strikes the ground during each running or walking stride or the impact shock that occurs when a racket is used to hit a ball. The initial impact causes vibrations within the soft tissues, after which the tissues continue vibrating at their natural frequency.
