Effects of low intensity vibration training on mouse hindlimb muscle contractility. A: In vivo testing of anterior crural muscle function showed that maximal isometric torque and rate of relaxation were greater in mice subjected to vibration (Vibrated) compared to those that were not (Sham), irrespective if mice maintained normal cage activity (Active) or were restricted in their physical activity by being housed in small cages (Restricted). B: In vivo testing of posterior crural muscle function revealed minimal effects of vibration training. C: Ex vivo testing of isolated soleus muscle contractility showed that maximal rate of relaxation was greater in Vibrated compared to Sham mice. Po, maximal isometric tetanic force. Data are mean, SE. Main effect P-values from two-way ANOVA’s are indicated above each set of bars when there was not a significant interaction between Vibration and Activity. *Significantly different from Vibrated-Active and Sham-Restricted, as determined from Holmes-Sidak post hoc testing
