No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Load-bearing exercises are well-established as beneficial for bone health. Their role in promoting healthy bone development and managing osteoporosis is widely recognized. However, the neural mechanisms underlying the positive biomechanical effects of jumping-based load-bearing exercises, such as running, volleyball, basketball, tennis, and skipping rope, remain unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate whether jumping-based load-bearing exercises activate bone myoregulation reflex activity.

Interventions

OTHER

Whole-body vibration and Jumping

The subjects were first asked to jump in place 20 times, as if they were jumping rope. Then, whole-body vibration was applied. While the participants stood upright on the whole-body vibration device, low-amplitude (1.2 mm) vibrations were applied at eight different frequencies (25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39 Hz), each lasting for 10 seconds, with a 5-second rest period in between.
