8-12 min. After 4 and 8 weeks were measured: isometric strength (knee extensors); isokinetic strength and strength endurance (feet and
arms); explosive strength (in jumps) and jumps endurance (1).
Results. The results showed the special effects of concomitant whole body vibration and physical exercises upon isometric, isokinetic,
jumping strength and strength endurance. Augmentation of strength has been observed both in experimental and control group. However,
in the group of vibration stimulation these effects have occurred faster and have been more expressed by the end of training program.
Mean increasing of feet and arms extensors isokinetic strength for 4 weeks were 9.82 (1.9)% in experimental group meanwhile in
control group 5.92 (1.8) for 8 weeks (p
