The effects of whole-body vibration on muscle strength and power: a meta-analysis.
Exercise with whole-body vibration (WBV) is becoming popular as an alternative to conventional training or as supplementary training. H...
Cross-sectional assessment of neuromuscular function using mechanography in women and men aged 20-85 years.
Objectives: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the influence of age and sex on neuromuscular function of the lower li...
Reference data for jumping mechanography in healthy children and adolescents aged 6-18 years.
Objectives: To present gender-specific pediatric normative data on the main parameters of muscle function assessed using jumping mechan...
Mid-femoral and mid-tibial muscle cross-sectional area as predictors of tibial bone strength in middle-aged and older men.
While it is widely acknowledged that bones adapt to the site-specific prevalent loading environment, reasonable ways to estimate skelet...
Hypertrophy in the cervical muscles and thoracic discs in bed-rest?
The impact of prolonged bed-rest on the cervical and upper thoracic spine is unknown. In the 2nd Berlin BedRest Study (BBR2-2), 24 male...
Mechanography in childhood: references for grip force, multiple one-leg hopping force and whole body stiffness.
Objective: We sought to study and procure reference values for weight-related maximum isometric grip force (MIGF), maximum voluntary fo...
pQCT-assessed relationships between diaphyseal design and cortical bone mass and density in the tibiae of healthy sedentary and trained men and women.
In a pQCT study of running-trained and untrained men and women we had shown that bone mass distribution along the tibia was adapted to ...
Randomized controlled study on resistive vibration exercise (EVE Study): protocol, implementation and feasibility
Objectives: A training intervention comparing resistance exercise with or without whole-body vibration (WBV) was conducted to compare a...
Whole Body Vibration Training is Osteogenic at the Spine in College-Age Men and Women.
Osteoporosis is a chronic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass which is currently challenging the American health care syste...
Acute exposure to microgravity does not influence the H-reflex with or without whole body vibration and does not cause vibration-specific changes in muscular activity.
PURPOSE: Many potential countermeasures for muscle and bone loss caused by exposure to microgravity require an uncompromised stretch re...
