Comparing muscle temperature during static and dynamic squatting with and without whole-body vibration
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of shallow dynamic squatting (DS) versus static squatting (SS) with or without c...
Muscle tissue oxygenation and VEGF in VO-matched vibration and squatting exercise
Exposure to vibration has traditionally been associated with compromised perfusion. This study investigated whether blood supply during...
Enhanced Myofiber Recruitment During Exhaustive Squatting Performed as Whole-Body Vibration Exercise
Eckhardt, H, Wollny, R, Müller, H, Bärtsch, P, and Friedmann-Bette, B. Enhanced myofiber recruitment during exhaustive squatting perfor...
Whole body vibration as an adjunct to static stretching
This study was a randomized control trial. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to determine if stretching the hamstrings during w...
Structural analysis of the human tibia in men with spinal cord injury by tomographic (pQCT) serial scans
Spinal cord injury (SCI), as a primarily neurological disorder that causes muscular atrophy, is well known to be associated with sub-le...
Calf muscle x-ray absorption is reduced in patients with chronic spinal cord injury, but not during 90 days of experimental bed rest
BACKGROUND:
Immobilisation leads to muscular atrophy. However, certain types of immobilisation, such as e.g. denervation can also caus...
Lower-limb muscle atrophy and effect of resistive vibration exercise during 56-day bed-rest
Objectives:
Developing more efficient countermeasures for the maintenance of muscle and muscle function in spaceflight is a priority f...
55-days bed rest with and without vibration exercise countermeasure: effects on human muscle protein dysregulation
Prolonged bed rest is often adopted as a model for the study of the effects of microgravity in humans, particularly on muscle mass, fib...
Increased Homer 2a/b expression by Resistive Vibration Exercise (RVE) in unloaded human soleus (SOL) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscle biopsies
Introduction:
The molecular mechanisms of human skeletal muscle adaptation following prolonged disuse are still largely unknown. Recen...
Evidence for an additional effect of whole-body vibration above resistive exercise alone in preventing bone loss during prolonged bed-rest
Prior work suggests that the addition of whole-body vibration to high-load resistive exercise (RVE) may be more effective in preventing...
