Abstract:
Slideboard (SB) exercise is a multifaceted, closed kinetic chain that imparts low-impact forces to the lower extremities and is used to enhance strength, endurance, proprioception, agility, balance, body composition, and cardiorespiratory fitness (Diener, 1994; Weber and Ware, 1998). Additionally, based on previous research we can use the SB exercise as a specific and practical off-ice test to evaluate performance in speed skating, prescribe exercise training and monitor adaptations due to training programs (Piucco et al., 2016, 2017).
Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of WBV as an environment constraint (VEC) and without vibration (NV) when performing an slide exercise across SVB using SampEn analyses.
