Muscle force regulates bone shaping for optimal load-bearing capacity during embryogenesis.
The vertebrate skeleton consists of over 200 individual bones, each with its own unique shape, size and function. We study the role of...
Pregnant growth restricted female rats have bone gains during late gestation which contributes to second generation adolescent and adult offspring having normal bone health.
Low birth weight, due to uteroplacental insufficiency, results in programmed bone deficits in the first generation (F1). These deficits...
Analysis of the independent power of age-related, anthropometric and mechanical factors as determinants of the structure of radius and tibia in normal adults. A pQCT study.
To compare the independent influence of mechanical and non-mechanical factors on bone features, multiple regression analyses were perf...
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...
Effect of a combination of whole body vibration exercise and squat training on body balance, muscle power, and walking ability in the elderly.
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...
The sports performance application of vibration exercise for warm-up, flexibility and sprint speed.
Since the turn of the 21st century, there has been a resurgence of vibration technology to enhance sport science especially for power a...
