Effect of Whole body vibration Training and Creatine Supplementation on Some of Fitness Factors in healthy male

Author(s): Amir Sarshin

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of whole body vibration training (WBVT) with creatine supplementation on some fitness factors in healthy male. 60 healthy male students were selected randomly and were assigned in four groups: 1: WBVT with creatine supplementation 2: WBVT with placebo consumption, 3: WBVT without supplementation consumption And 4: Control. The leg press test, the Sargent Jump Test, and the 60-meter sprint were used for measuring the maximum strength of lower extremity, the muscular power in lower extremity, and speed respectively. After getting the subjects’ records in the pre-test stage, the subjects of the three experimental groups did the WBVT with a similar plan, for ten days. With this difference that the first group subjects received creatine supplementation, the second group were given placebo, the third group subjects did not receive any supplementation and the fourth group subjects continued their daily activities. In order to analyze the data, the descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA with Tukey's Post Hoc Test were used (α≤0.05). The results showed that there is a significant difference between the data related to lower extremity muscular power and strength of the four groups’ subjects in the post-test period, which illustrates the improvement of the measured factors after the exercise and creatine supplementation consumption. The time for 60 meter sprint showed reduction only in WBVT with creatine supplementation group. Considering the research’s findings, it is suggested that in designing the exercise plans for athletic fields which need speed performance similar to 60- meter sprint, the WBVT and creatine supplementation feeding be used.
