Curious about how to improve your flexibility?
Find out by participating in our research study!
We are currently looking for healthy male and female participants aged 18-30 years old to participate in a study that will assess the effect of whole body vibration on muscle flexibility range of motion.
You need to be:
Healthy with no history of lower back pain and no history of cardiovascular disorders, migraines, epilepsy.
For this study, you will be randomized into 3 groups: Control Group, Treadmill Group, Whole Body Vibration Group. You will come to the Gittings Building at the University of Arizona every other day (three times a week) for a period of 2 weeks. Each session will last 15-30 minutes and consist of performing a sit and reach test followed by 5 minutes of activity (or 5 minutes of no activity if you are in control group) and then a follow-up sit and reach test. During the first visit, your body height and weight will be measured.
There is no cost to you to participate in this study. At any time (even after you give permission), you may refuse to perform a particular activity or drop from the study altogether. This is 100% okay with us; it is your decision to make and it will not affect your participation in any other activities at the University of Arizona.
Interested? Please contact richtera@email.arizona.edu or (480) 203-0645 for more information!
