Prolonged passive vibration of Achilles and patellar tendons decreases effort perception during subsequent cycling tasks
This study shows that tendon vibration reduces effort perception during subsequent cycling bouts. This effect is likely a consequence of vibration-induced reduction in muscle spindle reafferent signaling to the brain, but this mechanism remains to be further elucidated. From an applied perspective, these findings highlight tendon vibration as a promising tool for enhancing physical activity engagement.
