Abstract

The objective of this objective was to investigate the biomechanical effects of vibration intervention training on tendon in rats. Sixty rats were randomly assigned to four groups: rest control group, 25Hz vibration training group, 35Hz vibration training group, and 45-Hz vibration training group, 15 rats per group. Vibration training was provided to each training group of rats on the Power Plate vibration training platform. The conclusion showed that 25Hz was the suitable frequency for vibration training of rat Achilles tendons. The training using suitable frequency can significantly improve the biomechanical property of the Achilles tendons and produce adaptive function changes so as to reduce the damage probability of the muscle-tendon complex and increased the exercise efficiency. In the meantime, the vibration frequency for the training shall not be the same as or close to the inherent frequency of the trained parts and systems to achieve the desired effect.
