Atrophy/hypertrophy cell signaling in muscles of young athletes trained with vibrational-proprioceptive stimulation

Abstract

We demonstrated that both trainings are effective and do not induce muscle damage. Only VIB-trained group showed statistical significance increase of hypertrophy cell signaling pathways (IGF-1Ec and PGC-1α upregulation, and myostatin downregulation) leading to hypertrophy of fast twitch muscle fibers.
