Effects of flexi-bar training on measures of strength and power of upper limb musculature in recurve and compound archers
Context: Experimental evidence suggests that mechanical vibration of low intensity (below 0.4 g) and low frequency (below 50 Hz) can be transmitted effectively through the human body. Thus, superimposition of such vibration to an active muscle has the potential to amplify the acute and chronic neuromuscular adaptations achieved during low-intensity exercise. Aim: To study the effects of sports specific flexi-bar training on strength and power of upper limb musculature in archers.
