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...
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...
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...
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...
Bone quality in osteopenic postmenopausal women is not improved after 12 months of whole-body vibration training.
Whole-body vibration training may improve bone quality through structural adaptation. We tested if 12 months of training affects bone s...
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...
