- Additional information
- Funded by the North East of Scotland Technology Fund as part of the development of a new vibration exercise device. Provided some of the first data on the effects of fatigue caused by vibration stimulation applied simultaneously with isotonic loading of the upper limbs in humans. The results provide evidence that the combined therapy fatigues the muscles more compared to the isometric contraction alone. Theories as to why this is the case are also presented. The work has wide application in both sports and rehabilitation.
