A randomized controlled trial was conducted to clarify the beneficial effect of whole body vibration (WBV) exercise plus squat training...
Preferential deposition of visceral adipose tissue occurs due to physical inactivity.
We hypothesized that strict inactivity (bed-rest) would lead to regional differences in fat deposition. Twenty-four male subjects under...
In vivo measurements of the effect of whole body vibration on spinal loads.
PURPOSE: It is assumed that whole body vibration (WBV) improves muscle strength, bone density, blood flow and mobility and is therefor...
Effect of whole-body vibration on muscle strength and balance in diplegic cerebral palsy: a randomized controlled trial.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of whole-body vibration training on muscle strength and balance in ...
Effects of vibration on flexibility: a meta-analysis.
Exogenous stimulation of skeletal muscle or tendon is often used to improve range of motion. Despite substantial research efforts, howe...
Whole-Body Vibrations Do Not Elevate the Angiogenic Stimulus when Applied during Resistance Exercise.
Knowledge about biological factors involved in exercise-induced angiogenesis is to date still scanty. The present study aimed to invest...
Long-term effect of whole body vibration training on jump height: meta-analysis.
Whole body vibration (WBV) is widely promoted as a means of improving muscle strength, but the evidence of a performance benefit is unc...
The Effectiveness of Whole-Body Vibration Training on Improving Hamstring Flexibility in Physically Active Young Adults: A Critically Appraised Topic.
