Effects of Vibrations on the Biceps Brachii Muscle and Grip Strength
A study testing Vibration training with 42 Hz and Vibration training with 63 Hz in people with Muscle Strength, run by King Saud University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.
Trial summary
It has been suggested that applying acute vibration exercises enhances muscle force, like several weeks of resistance training. The present study investigated the effects of local vibration with two different frequencies on biceps brachii isometric muscle strength and grip strength in healthy young men.

About this study
Official title: Effects of Localized Vibration Training on the Biceps Brachii Muscle and Grip Strength in Healthy Adult Males: An Experimental Study
It has been suggested that applying acute vibration exercises enhances muscle force, like several weeks of resistance training. The present study investigated the effects of local vibration with two different frequencies on biceps brachii isometric muscle strength and grip strength in healthy young men. Isometric strength of the biceps brachii muscle and grip strength were assessed at baseline and after vibration training (immediate, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes post vibration training).
- Conditions
- Muscle Strength
- Being tested
- Vibration training with 42 Hz, Vibration training with 63 Hz

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Vibration training with 42 HzOther
Vibration exposure was given using a handheld vibration device.
Vibration training with 63 HzOther
Vibration exposure was given using a handheld vibration device.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 42 Hz group | Experimental | Vibration training with 42 Hz was given to participants. Receives: Other: Vibration training with 42 Hz |
| 63 Hz group | Active comparator | Vibration training with 63 Hz was given to participants. Receives: Other: Vibration training with 63 Hz |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Isometric strength of Biceps brachii muscle
Isomeric strength of the biceps brachii muscle of the dominant arm was measured at an Angle of 90 degree flexion using a handheld dynamometer
Measured: 20 minutes
Hand grip strength
Hand grip strength was measured using a standard adjustable Jamar hand dynamometer.
Measured: 20 minutes

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Vibration training with 42 Hz and Vibration training with 63 Hz in people with Muscle Strength, run by King Saud University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Saudi Arabia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Isometric strength of Biceps brachii muscle (time frame: 20 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Aug 2022.
