Abstract

 As a training method of performance enhancement in sports, whole body vibration has recently been of increasing interest. However, the mechanisms responsible for the effects of whole body vibration are not sufficiently studied. Whole body vibration includes stimulating the nervous system and the muscles through direct or indirect devices. This paper consist of the review of the articles available in literature published in various journals like biology of sports, journal of strength and conditioning research, European journal of Appl physiol, journal of medicine and journal of physical fitness and performance from 2002 to 2016 about the effect of whole body vibration on the vertical jump height, balance and strength of lower extremities. Whole body vibration has been found to be an effective treatment modality in improving jump height as well as balance.

Keywords: Whole Body Vibration; Counter Movement Jump; Squat Jump; Isokinetic Dynamometer; Shuttle Run.
