[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate muscle activation related to postural stability depending on the pelvic position and frequency of whole body vibration (WBV) during quiet standing, and to identify the most effective training conditions that elicit the highest neuromuscular responses. [Subjects and Methods] Eighteen healthy subjects voluntarily participated in this single-g...

Whole body vibration (WBV) has been suggested as an alternative form of exercise producing adaptive responses similar to that of resistance training. Very limited information is available on the effects of different vibration parameters on anabolic hormones. In this study, we compared the acute effects of different WBV amplitudes on serum testosterone (T) and insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Ni...

This study was aimed to investigate the neuromuscular activity after 10 minutes of exposure to a whole body vibration (WBV) session.Twenty male young adults (24.8 ± 2.5 year olds) were randomized and divided into 2 groups: the vibration group (VG) was exposed to 10 minutes of WBV at 35 Hz; performed 10 minutes of WBV at 35 Hz (displacement = 5 mm; magnitude = 5 g); the nonvibrated group (NVG) w...

  Objective(s): Studies have reported that whole body vibration (WBV) played a vital role in bone remodeling. Circulating serotonin is also involved in negative regulating bone mass in rodents and humans. However, both WBV and inhibition of serotonin biosynthesis may suppress receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis in vitro . The purpose of the ...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the excessive spikes observed in the surface electromyography (sEMG) spectrum recorded during whole-body vibration (WBV) exercises contain motion artifacts and/or reflex activity. The occurrence of motion artifacts was tested by electrical recordings of the patella. The involvement of reflex activity was investigated by analyzing the magnitude ...

We read with great interest the article by Wollersheim and colleagues who examined whole-body vibration (WBV) in intensive care unit patients [1]. Hemodynamic characteristics were monitored during WBV application. The study underscores previous findings showing that no significant changes in heart rate, blood pressure, or oxygen saturation occurred during WBV in critically ill patients, nor whe...

24 25 The study aimed at determining the influence of a whole-body vibration (WBV) on 26 electrophysiological properties of spinal motoneurons. The WBV training was performed on 27 adult male Wistar rats, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks, and each daily session consisted of four 28 30-second runs of vibration at 50 Hz. Motoneuron properties were investigated intracellularly 29 during experiments on d...

Background and Aims Whole body vibration (WBV) is a safe effective method to improve balance muscle strength. Considering the effect of foot longitudinal arch on dynamic balance, effectiveness WBV in improving present study aims assess effects patients with flexible flatfoot. Methods In this randomized clinical trial, 80 flatfoot; 40 aged <18 years (Mean±SD age= 15.25±1.24) >20 22.57±1.48...

Background. Random whole body vibration (WBV) training leads to beneficial short-term effects in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the effect of WBV lasting several weeks is not clear. Objectives. The aim of this study was to assess a random WBV training over 5 weeks in PD. Methods. Twenty-one participants with PD were allocated to either an experimental or a placebo group matche...
