Effects of complementary whole-body vibration training in patients after lung transplantation: A randomized, controlled trial.
BACKGROUND: In recent years, some studies have shown that whole-body vibration training (WBVT) may be a beneficial training mode in pat...
Deviations of frequency and the mode of vibration of commercially available whole-body vibration training devices.
AIM: Research in the field of whole body vibration (WBV) training and the use of it in practice might be hindered by the fact that WBV...
Bone density and neuromuscular function in older competitive athletes depend on running distance.
Individuals who are involved in explosive sport types, such as 100-m sprints and long jump, have greater bone density, leg muscle size...
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...
