Assignment - Muscle vibration and muscle function
1. Write a short paragraph that lists which muscles are important for vertical jumping (see p. 111 of the textbook), describes what a muscle spindle is (p. 225 of the textbook) and explains what the flexion reflex is (see chapter 15).
2. Provide threebar charts of flexibility, peak power and jump height, before and after muscle vibration. Make sure that there is adequate labelling and a legend that indicates what each bar represents.
3. Provide a written description of your results (in the chart). Describe in words whether there are differences in each measure (flexibility, peak power and jump height) pre and post the muscle vibration treatment.
4. Provide answers to the following questions, writing several sentences for each.
a. State clearly whether you think there is an effect of muscle vibration on flexibility and jumping performance.
b. Whatever your conclusion is, try to explain why there was or wasn't any effect.
c. Compare your results to this article (it is ok to read the abstract only)
