Maximal Explosive Strength Sprint Starts Whole Body Vibration. Adjustable pedal starting blocks allow the athlete to change the angle of the pedal to fit their body type and starting style. There were no observed differences in the 30m sprint times. Disc/Half Cone Carrier w/ 72 Orange Cones. Further research is needed to determine whether any meaningful differences exist in sprint start velocity as a result of WBV.

Repeated measures analysis of the variance showed peak resultant force was 6% greater when the vibration platform was utilized prior to the start (p=0.013). S.R.Smith manufactures a wide range of starting blocks for use at all levels.

The vibration protocol occurred for 60 s at 26 Hz with an amplitude of 4mm on a Galileo 2000 platform. The results were then compared between vibration and non-vibration groups for individual athletes. Force measurements were taken where the starting blocks were placed using a force plate embedded under the track surface following the warm up. IAAF: Technical Delegates decision no damage to track, no unfair advantage. The vibration group used whole body vibration along with their normal warm-up routine while the non-vibration group did not.

On the first day eleven subjects were randomly assigned to either a non-vibration or vibration group for initial testing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of short term whole-body vibration on sprint starts among collegiate track athletes. Studies have shown over 30% increases in maximal explosive strength such as maximal speed biceps curl as well as increases in maximum dynamic force such as maximal sitting bench pull as the result of vibration. Whole body vibration (WBV) is characterized by a vibratory stimulus emitted throughout the body through the use of a vibrating platform on which the subject stands.
