In-season whole-body vibration training enhances vertical jump performance in professional soccer goalkeepers by Adam Hawkey, David Morrıson

“…A 2-way ANOVA with repeated measures showed an improvement in the experimental group’s jump performance from 49.2 ± 4.4 cm pre-training to 53.8 ± 3.5 cm post-training, while the control group’s performance remained stable from 47.02 ± 4.8 cm pre-training to 46.6 ± 4.5 cm post-training, resulting in a significant time-by-group interaction (P lt;0.001). Findings of the current study provide evidence supporting WBVT’s incorporation into goalkeepers’ training regimes.…”
