The Measure of Success: Quantifying the Acute Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Hamstring Flexibility

T lamstring (HS) muscle strains are perhaps the most common muscle injuries in activities where sprinting is involved. An especially high rate of re-injury makes recovery a slow and frustrating process. Poor hamstring flexibility and strength imbalances are predisposing factors for hamstring muscle strains. Being flexible not only prevents injuries, but improves overall athletic performance.
