Whole body vibration exercise: training and benefits.

چکیده
In recent years, it has been suggested that exercise using whole body vibration (WBV) platforms may increase muscle activity and subsequently enhance muscle performance in both acute and chronic conditions. WBV platforms produce frequencies ranging from 15-60 Hz and vertical displacements from ~1-11 mm, resulting in accelerations of ~2.2-5.1 g. Acute exposure to WBV has produced mixed results in terms of improving jump, sprint, and measures of muscle performance. With WBV training, younger fit subjects may not experience gains unless some type of external load is added to WBV exercise. However, sedentary and elderly individuals have demonstrated significant gains in most measures of muscle performance, similar with comparable traditional resistance exercise training programs. WBV training also has demonstrated gains in flexibility in younger athletic populations and gains or maintenance in bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. These promising results await further research to establish preferred WBV training parameters.

متن کاملRisks and benefits of whole body vibration training in older people.
Regular whole body vibration training, i.e. standing on a platform that vibrates at a high frequency over a small amplitude, has been reported to produce neuromuscular adaptation and increase bone mineral density in some frailer populations [1]. As such, it has attracted interest for its potential benefits regarding physical function, fall and fracture risk in older people. These potential bene...
