Controlled whole-body vibration training reduces risk of falls among community-dwelling older adults.
The primary purpose of this study was to systematically examine the effects of an 8-week controlled whole-body vibration training on re...
Whole-body vibration and blood flow and muscle oxygenation: a meta-analysis.
CONTEXT: The use and popularity of whole-body vibration (WBV) has increased in recent years, but there is a lack of consensus in the li...
Acute bone response to whole body vibration in healthy pre-pubertal boys.
The skeleton responds to mechanical stimulation. We wished to ascertain the magnitude and speed of the growing skeleton's response to a...
Minimal intensity physical activity (standing and walking) of longer duration improves insulin action and plasma lipids more than shorter periods of moderate to vigorous exercise (cycling) in sedentary subjects when energy expenditure is comparable.
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies suggest that excessive sitting time is associated with increased health risk, independent of the pe...
Measurement of muscle and fat in postmenopausal women: precision of previously reported pQCT imaging methods.
Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) imaging has been used to quantify muscle area and density as well as intermuscular a...
Acute effects of whole-body vibration on trunk and neck muscle activity in consideration of different vibration loads.
The intention of this study was to systematically analyze the impact of biomechanical parameters in terms of different peak-to-peak dis...
Alternative Trainingstechnologien zur muskuloskelettalen Prävention bei älteren Menschen. Teil II: Steigerung der Knochenfestigkeit durch Ganzkörpervibrationstraining – eine Übersicht über die aktuelle Studienlage
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) Training represents an “alternative training technology“
which got increasingly popular in the last decade a...
Feasibility, compliance, and efficacy of a randomized controlled trial using vibration in pre-pubertal children.
OBJECTIVE: Interventions utilizing vibration may increase bone mass and size which may reduce forearm fractures in children. This rando...
Jump power and force have distinct associations with cortical bone parameters: findings from a population enriched by individuals with high bone mass.
CONTEXT: Little is known of the relationships between muscle function and bone, based on the recently developed technique of jumping me...
