摘要：Whole body vibration training (WBVT) as a new method of neuromuscular training has been considered and it has been vastly studied as a factor for strong mechanical stimulation in the neural system, bone tissue and muscles. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of whole body vibration training on the explosive power and speed of male non-athlete students. For this purpose twenty students from the University of Kurdistan (Mean; age: 21/5 ± 1/4 yr, Weight: 71/5 ± 5/5 kg, Height: 174 ± 5/5 cm, BMI: 23/67 ± 1/30) were recruited and randomly divided into an experimental (EG) (n=10) and a control group (CG) (n=10). The EG were treated for four weeks, three session per week with 5 sets of 1 minute in a squat of 110◦ body position, for a total of five minutes per day. The subjects of the CG were asked to maintain their normal activity and avoid strength training. The subjects were tested at the beginning and the end of treatment with a specific functional test. The data were analyzed using SPSS and the Paired-t test statistical method. The results showed a remarkable and statistically significant enhancement in the EG with a 7.8% increase in explosive power (P≤0/002), and there was a significant difference in EG speed (5m: P≤ 0.001, 10m: P≤0.042 and 20m: P≤0.001) at the post-test. But no significant difference was found in the CG for this performance (P≥0.05, P≥0.05). Overall, we can conclude that whole body vibration probably can have an effect on explosive power and speed. Hence, WBVT can be used as a new method of training for athletes.
