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...
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...
Reduced bone strength and muscle force in women 27 years after anorexia nervosa.
CONTEXT: A substantial body of research findings indicate that muscle mass and bone mass are reduced in populations of anorexic females...
Physical activity in youth with osteogenesis imperfecta type I.
INTRODUCTION: Individuals with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) type I often show muscular weakness. However, it is unclear whether muscula...
The effects of whole body vibration on static balance, spinal curvature, pain, and disability of patients with low back pain.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of whole body vibration (WBV) on static balance, spinal curvature, pain, and th...
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...
Effects of whole body vibration on pulmonary function, functional exercise capacity and quality of life in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A systematic review.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of whole-body vibration in enhancing pulmonary function, functional exercise capacity and quality of l...
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...
Adolescence physical activity is associated with higher tibial pQCT bone values in adulthood after 28-years of follow-up – The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study.
High peak bone mass and strong bone phenotype are known to be partly explained by physical activity during growth but there are few pro...
