Changes in joint angle, muscle-tendon complex length, muscle contractile tissue displacement, and modulation of EMG activity during acute whole-body vibration

It has been suggested that vibration causes small changes in muscle length, but to the best of our knowledge, these have yet to be demonstrated during whole‐body vibration (WBV). This was an observational study to determine whether acute WBV would result in muscle lengthening. We hypothesized that a...
