Article Abstract
Objective: This study examined the effects of vibration frequency and additional loading on lower limb muscle activation and coactivation during whole-body vibration (WBV) training in recreational runners.
Methods: Twenty-five male runners performed WBV training at six frequencies (0-50 Hz) under two loading conditions (no load vs. 20% body mass). Surface electromyography was used to record electromyography root mean square (EMGrms) in 11 lower limb muscles. Coactivation of six muscles was analyzed using the time-varying multi-muscle coactivation function. 1D statistical parametric mapping and two-way repeated-measures ANOVA were used to assess differences.
Results: EMGrms was significantly influenced by vibration frequency and loading. Additional loading increased activation in the gluteus maximus, quadriceps, hamstrings, and soleus (p < 0.001). Frequency effects were notable in the gluteus maximus and hamstrings, with 10-30 Hz inducing higher muscular activation than the no-vibration case (p < 0.01). Coactivation was significantly high with loading (p < 0.001), particularly during the eccentric squat phase, but frequency had no significant effect.
Conclusion: Additional loading enhances muscle activation and coactivation, and vibration frequency primarily affects muscular activation. These findings highlight the importance of external load and frequency in optimizing WBV training for enhancing sports performance and preventing injuries in runners.

Building localized states with high quality factors in compact dynamic systems could enhance the performance of wave control devices such as elastic filters and high-precision sensing devices. Here, we report on the theoretical and experimental investigation of symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum (BICs) in a compressed metaplate. The proposed theory establishes a Bessel-zero-directed multipolarization design that enables precise modulation for the frequencies and modes of BICs.

Coupling with a resonant optical cavity is well known to modify the coherence of molecular vibrations. However, in the case of molecules coupled to a plasmonic nanocavity mode, the local mechanisms of vibrational coherence decay remain unclear. Here, the dynamics of a few hundred molecules of nitrothiophenol (NTP) within a single plasmonic nanocavity are studied by sum-frequency generation.

Helicene-based circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials suffer from severely low color purity in circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs). Here, a novel molecular engineering strategy is introduced by replacing helicene containing continuous fused benzene rings with a multiple resonance (MR) framework comprising discontinuous fused benzene rings. This approach effectively suppresses high-frequency C─C bond stretching vibrations and enhances short-range charge transfer, enabling high color purity, CPL activity, and efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF).

Harbor seals possess a remarkable ability to detect hydrodynamic footprints left by moving objects, even long after the objects have passed, through interactions between wake flows and their uniquely shaped whiskers. While the flow-induced vibration (FIV) of harbor seal whisker models has been extensively studied, their response to unsteady wakes generated by upstream moving bodies remains poorly understood. This study investigates the wake-induced vibration (WIV) of a flexibly mounted harbor seal-inspired whisker positioned downstream of a forced-oscillating circular cylinder, simulating the hydrodynamic footprint of a moving object.

Purpose: To investigate the role of personal risk factors in the occurrence of the vascular, neurological and fibroproliferative disorders of the hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) in workers groups exposed to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV).
Methods: HAVS prevalence and incidence data were pooled across a series of cross-sectional studies (total sample: 1272 HTV workers, 579 controls) and prospective cohort studies (total sample: 377 HTV workers, 138 controls) conducted in Central and North-Eastern Italy. The pooled studies included detailed individual-level information about HTV exposure, personal risk factors, medical comorbidities and HAVS disorders.
