Figure 1

Schematic illustration of the experimental design, indicating the time-points at which measurements were performed prior to, during and after taking the tuck position with vibration and different levels of compression (0, 20 and 40 mmHg). NIRS = near-infrared spectroscopy, HR = heart rate, EMG = electromyography, Fisomax = maximal isometric force, Lac = blood level of lactate, RPE = rating of perceived exertion, BP = blood pressure.
