Vibration effects on static balance and strength
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a vibration training protocol and a conventional strength training program ...
Efficacy of a whole-body vibration intervention on functional performance of community-dwelling older adults
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate efficacy of a whole-body vibration (WBV) intervention on functional performan...
Changes in joint angle, muscle-tendon complex length, muscle contractile tissue displacement, and modulation of EMG activity during acute whole-body vibration
It has been suggested that vibration causes small changes in muscle length, but to the best of our knowledge, these have yet to be demo...
Prevention of bone loss during 56 days of strict bed rest by side-alternating resistive vibration exercise
Bed rest is a recognized model for muscle atrophy and bone loss in space flight and in clinical medicine. We hypothesized that whole bo...
Vibration as an exercise modality: how it may work, and what its potential might be
Whilst exposure to vibration is traditionally regarded as perilous, recent research has focussed on potential benefits. Here, the physi...
Rundum fit durch ganzheitliches Muskeltraining
Gut definiert in den Sommer. Seitenalternierendes Vibrationstraining - eine zeitsparende Methode zum ganzheitlichen Muskelaufbau.
Handheld vibration effects shoulder motion
We explored effects of handheld vibration on glenohumeral motion in competitive overhead-throwing athletes. We used a randomized, blind...
EMG activity during whole body vibration: motion artifacts or stretch reflexes
The validity of electromyographic (EMG) data recorded during whole body vibration (WBV) is controversial. Some authors ascribed a major...
The effects of whole-body vibration training in aging adults: a systematic review
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Whole-body vibration (WBV), has become increasingly popular as a form of exercise training. WBV involves the ap...
Voluntary activation of the ankle plantar flexors following whole-body vibration
This study investigated the effect of whole-body vibration (WBV) on the voluntary activation of the ankle plantar flexors. Twelve healt...
