The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) on delayed-onset muscle soreness, specifically pain ratings, sit-and-reach scores, and vertical jump scores. Participants in the study were 20 (10 male; 10 female) healthy, college-aged students (20.85 1.81 years). All students completed an IRB informed consent document and health history questionnaire to determine eligibility. Participants were randomly assigned to a treatment or control group. For each participant, delayed-onset muscle soreness was induced via weighted lunges. Subsequently, the experimental treatment group underwent 10min. WBV before and after assessment for five consecutive days while the control group walked on a treadmill before and after each assessment. Assessment included visual analog pain rating, flexibility, and vertical jump measures. No significant results were found between the control and experimental groups regarding pain ratings, sit-and-reach scores, and vertical jump scores.
