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...
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...
Age-Related Changes in Physical Function in Community-Dwelling People Aged 50-79 Years
We aimed to obtain the mean values for physical function tests in healthy community-dwelling people aged 50-79 years and to compare the...
Structural analysis of the human tibia by tomographic (pQCT) serial scans
Abstract This study analyses the evaluation of tomographic indicators of tibia structure, assuming that the usual loading pattern shift...
Normative values for maximum power during motor function assessment of jumping among physically active Japanese
Objectives: To determine the relationship between maximum power relative to body weight (Pmax-rel) and the aging process, and to indica...
