In obesity, the exaggerated blood pressure (BP) response to exercise is linked to hypertension, yet the mechanisms are not fully elucid...
Human Musculoskeletal Models of Disuse
According to Frost’s mechanostat theory when the bone receives strains of about 800 to 1600 micro-strain retains its strength; increase...
The negative effect of sitting time on bone is mediated by lean mass in pubertal children.
OBJECTIVE: Effects of time in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sitting (SIT) on bone were tested, hypothesizing that h...
Whole body vibration training improves vibration perception threshold in healthy young adults: A randomized clinical trial pilot study.
OBJECTIVES: Loss of foot sensitivity is a relevant parameter to assess and prevent in several diseases. It is crucial to determine the ...
Effects of whole-body vibration training on physical function, bone and muscle mass in adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy.
We performed a clinical trial on the effects of whole-body vibration training (WBVT) on muscle function and bone health of adolescents ...
The effect of exercise and nutrition on the mechanostat.
In this review, we discuss the effect of increased and decreased loading and nutrition deficiency on muscle and bone mass and strength ...
From mechanostat theory to development of the ‘Functional Muscle-Bone-Unit’.
Bone densitometric data are often difficult to interpret in children and adolescents because of large inter- and intraindividual variat...
The Relationship between Greater Pre-Pubertal Adiposity, Subsequent Age of Maturation and Bone Strength During Adolescence.
This longitudinal study investigated whether greater pre-pubertal adiposity was associated with subsequent timing of maturation and bon...
The effects of whole body vibration in patients with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
BACKGROUND: Whole body vibration (WBV) has been used to increase physical activity levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2...
One bout of vibration exercise with vascular occlusion activates satellite cells.
NEW FINDINGS: What is the central question of this study? Acute skeletal muscle satellite cell (SC) activation is associated with skele...
