Effects of Vibration Training on the Physical Fitness of Short-Distance Swimmers

Abstract

Introduction Vibration training is a widespread exercise. Existing experimental results show that using vibration strength exercises under the same loading conditions can improve the muscular strength of swimmers’ lower limbs. Objective This paper especially studies the effect of vibration exercise on the physical quality of swimmers under various conditions. Methods The athletes were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group used a vibrometer to exercise the lower limb muscles. The control group engaged only in routine training. After eight weeks of practice, the runners tested in the 100m, 150m, 200m, and 400m. The present article also explores the relationship between swimmers of different ages. Results Compared to the control group, there was a significant difference in maximum hip extensor volume between the experimental and control groups. There was also a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). The most significant increase in maximal exercise capacity between the two groups was in the ankle. The change in maximum load between the two groups was also significant (P<0.01). Conclusion The vibration training method can improve the swimmer’s knee flexor group. Swimmers can improve their body coordination by performing vibration exercises. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
