Randomized trial demonstrates increased jump height and muscle activation in soccer players using focal vibration therapy.

To assess the impact of a focal vibration protocol combined with cycling on lower limb performance in soccer players.
Randomized, double-blind, parallel-group clinical trial
Involved 107 amateur soccer players across soccer clubs
Participants underwent focal vibration protocol at 120 Hertz combined with cycling for 10 minutes per week over three weeks
Significant improvements in countermovement jump height (p = 0.04)
Increased electrical muscle activation in vastus medialis (p = 0.001) and tibialis anterior (p = 0.02)
Overall enhancement in jump, power, velocity, and strength after intervention

Cisa‐Ribas et al. (2026) studied this question.
