OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of vibrating platform in the vertical jump performance in soccer players. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample consisted of 30 soccer players male, age (18:57 ± 0.81 years), weight (75.49 ± 7.463Kg), height (1.79 ± 0.057cm), body fat percentage (9.6 ± 1.327%) and BMI (22.89 ± 1.354 kg/m2) were randomized into Group 1 (WBV) and Group 2 (ICQ). P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The height of CMJUBA increased significantly (p = 0.0001) after both interventions (WBV and ICQ), also significantly reducing the period of follow-up (p = 0.0003). There was no significant difference between groups in all periods (p = 0.524). In CMJWSA, there was a significant increase in jump height when comparing the group before and after interventions by WBV and ICQ (p = 0.001) and a significant decrease comparing measurements after interventions with follow-up. In relation to treatment (G1 vs. G2) there was no statistical difference between them in all periods (p = 0.675). DISCUSSION: According to the results, there were differences regarding the time factor (pre, post and follow-up). However, no differences were observed in relation to proposed treatments to G1 and G2. The exposure period of four weeks of WBV produced additional gains on morphological and / or neuromuscular properties in the long term in G1 compared with G2. CONCLUSION: The training for WBV can be introduced for purposes additional to the routine training of soccer players, aiming at the improvement of lower limb muscle performance attributed to a quantitative leap in the ability of these individuals.
