Since the turn of the 21st century, there has been a resurgence of vibration technology to enhance sport science especially for power and force development. However, vibration exercise has been trialled in other areas that are central to athlete performance such as warm-up, flexibility and sprint speed. Therefore, the aim of this review was to attempt to gain a better understanding of how acute and short-term vibration exercise may impact on warm-up, flexibility and sprint speed. The importance of warming up for sporting performance has been well documented and vibration exercise has the capability to be included or used as a standalone warm-up modality to increase intramuscular temperature at a faster rate compared to other conventional warm-up modalities. However, vibration exercise does not provide any additional neurogenic benefits compared to conventional dynamic and passive warm-up interventions. Vibration exercise appears to be a safe modality that does not produce any adverse affects causing injury or harm and could be used during interval and substitution breaks, as it would incur a low metabolic cost and be time-efficient compared to conventional warm-up modalities. Acute or short-term vibration exercise can enhance flexibility and range of motion without having a detrimental effect on muscle power, however it is less clear which mechanisms may be responsible for this enhancement. It appears that vibration exercise is not capable of improving sprint speed performance; this could be due to the complex and dynamic nature of sprinting where the purported increase in muscle power from vibration exercise is probably lost on repeated actions of high force generation. Vibration exercise is a safe modality that produces no adverse side effects for injury or harm. It has the time-efficient capability of providing coaches, trainers, and exercise specialists with an alternative modality that can be implemented for warm-up and flexibility either in isolation or in conjunction with other conventional training methods.
自 21 世纪初以来，振动技术在增强运动科学方面，尤其是在力量和力量发展方面得到了重新应用。然而，振动训练已经在其他对运动员表现至关重要的领域进行了试验，如热身、灵活性和短跑速度。因此，本综述的目的是试图更好地了解急性和短期振动训练如何影响热身、灵活性和短跑速度。热身对运动表现的重要性已经得到充分证明，振动训练具有作为一种独立的热身方式的能力，可以比其他传统的热身方式更快地提高肌肉温度。然而，与传统的动力和被动热身干预相比，振动训练并没有提供任何额外的神经生理益处。振动训练似乎是一种安全的训练方式，不会产生任何不良影响，如受伤或伤害，并且可以在间歇和替换休息期间使用，因为与传统的热身方式相比，它的代谢成本较低，效率较高。急性或短期的振动训练可以增强柔韧性和运动范围，而不会对肌肉力量产生不利影响，但是，对于这种增强的机制还不太清楚。振动训练似乎不能提高短跑速度，这可能是由于短跑的复杂和动态性质，振动训练中肌肉力量的增加可能会在多次高强度力量产生的作用中消失。振动训练是一种安全的训练方式，不会产生任何不良的副作用，如受伤或伤害。它具有高效的能力，可以为教练、培训师和运动专家提供一种替代的训练方式，用于热身和灵活性训练，可以单独使用，也可以与其他传统的训练方法结合使用。
