Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.
ReviewAn article that critically examines existing research on a particular topic and summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field.
Systematic ReviewA review that systematically collects, evaluates, and integrates relevant research to answer a specific research question.

Overview

This study reviewed the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) on flexibility in artistic gymnasts. Analyzing 9 studies with 210 participants, the review found that WBV can improve flexibility (9.1-39.1% in front split, 2.79-6.7% in sit and reach, and 6.43-7.45% in bridge). Combining WBV with traditional stretching may further enhance flexibility, although more research is needed to optimize WBV protocols.

It is well documented that whole body-vibration training has effects on muscle strength and flexibility, blood circulation, decreases pain perception and strengthens bone and tendon. Although whole body-vibration has benefits in athletes' flexibility, we are not sure what its actual effects are in a...See full text at original site

Can Whole-Body Vibration Enhance Flexibility in Artistic Gymnastics?

This study delves into the field of sports science, investigating the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) training on flexibility in artistic gymnastics. Artistic gymnasts require exceptional flexibility for performing complex routines, and researchers explored whether WBV could contribute to further enhancing their flexibility. Researchers reviewed existing studies on WBV in artistic gymnasts, analyzing the effects of WBV on various flexibility tests.

WBV: A Potential Tool for Enhancing Flexibility in Artistic Gymnasts

The researchers found that WBV training demonstrated flexibility improvements in artistic gymnasts, both male and female. Specifically, WBV was found to enhance flexibility in front split, sit and reach, and bridge tests. The researchers suggested that combining WBV with traditional static stretching could potentially further enhance flexibility. However, they cautioned that more research is needed to determine the optimal WBV protocol.

Maximizing Flexibility and Performance in Artistic Gymnastics

This research offers valuable insights into the potential of WBV as a complementary training tool for artistic gymnasts. WBV can potentially enhance flexibility, which is crucial for achieving high performance levels. It's essential to consult with a qualified coach or trainer to develop a comprehensive training program that incorporates WBV safely and effectively.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

Just as a camel gracefully navigates shifting sands, artistic gymnasts must possess exceptional flexibility to navigate the challenges of their sport. This research suggests that WBV can be a helpful tool for enhancing flexibility, potentially leading to even more awe-inspiring performances.
