A large number of workers are exposed to Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) on a daily basis. In the construction sector, risk associated with vibration exposure is high as driving vehicles in areas unpaved-roads or uneven surfaces very common activity. Drivers may be levels WBV, which lead development musculoskeletal disorders. Accordingly, this study developed GIS-based methodological framework reduc...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different whole-body vibration (WBV) training amplitudes on left ventricular stroke volume and ejection fraction in healthy young men. METHODS A total of 24 healthy men (age 21.71±1.49 year, height 176.17±6.61 cm, weight 70.73±10.08 kg, BMI 22.36±3.57 kg/m2, and body surface area 1.87±0.13 m2) were divided into two groups: high an...

BACKGROUND Whole-body vibration has been suggested for the prevention of muscle mass loss and muscle wasting as an attractive measure for disuse atrophy. This study examined the effects of daily intermittent whole-body vibration and weight bearing during hindlimb suspension on capillary number and muscle atrophy in rat skeletal muscles. METHODS Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided int...

Long term exposure to high amplitude whole-body vibration is strongly associated with the development of back injury. Mobile plant used at mines are likely to be a source of high vibration amplitudes and management of the hazard requires systematic measurement of vibration levels. This paper describes measurements of whole-body vibration taken during projects funded by the Coal Services Health ...

The study aimed to establish the short-term and long-term effects of whole-body vibration on postural stability. The sample consisted of 28 male subjects randomly allocated to four comparative groups, three of which exercised on a vibration platform with parameters set individually for the groups. The stabilographic signal was recorded before the test commenced, after a single session of whole-...

There is a scarcity of research on whole body vibration exercise and resistance exercise as a combined program for children and adolescents with type I Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). Type I OI is the mildest and most common form, characterized by mild to moderate fragility without bone deformity. The goal of treatment when working with people with Type I OI is to reduce the risk of fractures pri...
