  Abstract:  

Aims. The term „vibration training” (Whole Body Vibration or WBV) represents a new concept of training, flexible and with high efficiency, that can be compared to physical therapies for medical recovery, to promotion and the maintenance of a well state of being, but it can also be considered a practice method for sportsmen (Tache G.O., 2008). Objectives. This paper has fallowed the effects of the vibration training, for the duration of three weeks, upon the development of explosive force and speed. Method and materials. Performance athletes participated at this experiment – team members of the basketball team CSS Viitorul Cluj-Napoca (average age 15.06±0.68 years old, height 183.81±7.27 cm, bust 92.22±4.56 cm, weight 70.33±11.96 kg). The athletes were divided in two groups: Group I – witness (8 athletes) and Group II – experimental (8 athletes). The fallowing measurements were made for both Groups pre (T0) and post (T1) experiment: the Sargent test, 30 meters speed running. The measured indicators: high jump, measured in centimeters (cm); speed measured in seconds (sec). The experimental Group was subject to vibration practices for the duration of three weeks (5 times/ week). Results and conclusion. The vibration training has positive effects upon the explosive speed and force of the experimental Group. The explosive speed indicates significant pot experiment increases for Group II compared to the initial values. The vibration training can be considered an alternative method in the training of performance athletes and a way of maintaining motor functions at optimal parameters during the transition period.

 

Key words: explosive force, speed, athletes, vibration training.
