Abstract: The whole vibration platform has been widely used for improved wellness. These platforms are commonly promoted to enhance the muscle tone and improve relaxation. There is a need of study to substantiate these effects on muscle contraction. This research reports the experimental study to identify the effect of whole body vibration platform on biceps muscle. Eleven healthy subjects participated in this study. Various parameters such as muscle endurance time, recovery period, onset of localised muscle fatigue and measure of pain level index were computed and analysed. The results of the statistical analysis show that there was a significant improvement (after using the vibration platform) in each of these parameters particularly in the muscle endurance time and recovery period.
