FIGURE 1.
Peak torque during maximal voluntary contraction (MVC, A) of plantar flexion, voluntary activation (VA%, B), root mean square of the electromyogram (RMS-EMG) of the medial gastrocnemius (MG, C), lateral gastrocnemius (LG, D), soleus (SOL, E), and tibialis anterior (TA, F), and V-wave of MG (G) and SOL (H) during plantar flexor MVC before and after the intervention. Data are shown as mean + standard deviation. RMS-EMGs of the triceps surae and V-waves were normalized to the peak-to-peak compound muscle action potential amplitude at rest (Mmax) and during MVC (Mwave), and RMS-EMG of TA was normalized to that during dorsiflexor MVC. *Indicates a significant difference between older and young men. † Denotes a significant change after the intervention. ‡Shows a significant difference between control and vibration conditions.
