Vibration therapy for faster sprinting and jumping
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a vibrating device placed on leg muscles can help healthy active people run faster and jump higher. You'll do weighted squats and other exercises while receiving short bursts of focal vibration.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and can give consent.
- You already know how to do weighted squats correctly.
- You exercise (any sport or gym) at least 3 times a week.
- You have not had a sports injury in the last 2 months that stops you from being active.
- You haven't had focal vibration therapy before.
- You are not taking medications like anticonvulsants or antidepressants that could affect the results.

This study tests whether gentle muscle vibration can help prevent muscle and bone loss when you reduce your activity. You will have one leg vibrated for a short time each day to see if it keeps your muscles strong.
This trial tests if ultrasound-guided nerve stimulation can improve squat performance in amateur athletes. You'll do barbell back squats and jump tests while researchers monitor your femoral nerve.
This trial tests if gentle vibrations on knee muscles can improve how your brain senses knee movement, which may help you move better. It is for healthy adults who want to see if this non-invasive treatment boosts motor performance.
This study tests whether a program using local vibrations on the muscles in the front of your ankle can improve leg nerve and movement recovery after stroke. It may help people who have weak ankle lifting during the weeks to months after stroke.
