• Whole body vibration for chronic patellar tendinopathy: A randomized equivalence trial 

      Rieder, Florian; Wiesinger, Hans-Peter; Herfert, Jürgen; Lampl, Katrin; Hecht, Stefan; Niebauer, Josef; Maffulli, Nicola; Kösters, Alexander; Müller, Erich; Seynnes, Olivier R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Purpose: Whole body vibration (WBV) triggers anabolic responses in various tissues, including tendons, without requiring high force production. In this waitlist-controlled equivalence trial, we tested its clinical effectiveness ...
    • Whole-body vibration training induces hypertrophy of the human patellar tendon 

      Rieder, Florian; Wiesinger, Hans-Peter; Kösters, Alexander; Müller, Erich; Seynnes, Olivier R. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-15)
      Animal studies suggest that regular exposure to whole-body vibration (WBV) induces an anabolic response in bone and tendon. However, the effects of this type of intervention on human tendon properties and its influence on ...
