Summary: Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the origin and magnitude of neuromuscular fatigue induced by half-squat whole-body vibration.Methods: Ten young, recreationally trained adults participated in six fatiguing protocols, each consisting of several sets of 30, 60 or 180 s static squatting superimposed with vibration (WBV30, WBV60, WBV180) or without vibration (SHAM30, SHAM60, SHAM180) for a total exercise exposure of 9-minutes in each trial. Maximum voluntary contraction (MVC), level of voluntary activation (%VA), single twitch peak torque (TWPT), low- (T20) and high-frequency (T100) doublets, and low-to-high-frequency fatigue ratio (T20/100) were assessed before, immediately after, 15 and 30 minutes after each fatiguing protocol.
