Is the Focal Muscle Vibration an Effective Motor Conditioning Intervention? A Systematic Review
Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2021 Mechanical vibration, applied to single or few muscles, can be a selective stimulus for muscle spindles, able to modify neuromuscular management, inducing short and long-term effects, are now mainly employed in clinic studies. Several studies reported as
