Hypertrophy in the cervical muscles and thoracic discs in bed-rest?
The impact of prolonged bed-rest on the cervical and upper thoracic spine is unknown. In the 2nd Berlin BedRest Study (BBR2-2), 24 male...
Mechanography in childhood: references for grip force, multiple one-leg hopping force and whole body stiffness.
Objective: We sought to study and procure reference values for weight-related maximum isometric grip force (MIGF), maximum voluntary fo...
pQCT-assessed relationships between diaphyseal design and cortical bone mass and density in the tibiae of healthy sedentary and trained men and women.
In a pQCT study of running-trained and untrained men and women we had shown that bone mass distribution along the tibia was adapted to ...
Randomized controlled study on resistive vibration exercise (EVE Study): protocol, implementation and feasibility
Objectives: A training intervention comparing resistance exercise with or without whole-body vibration (WBV) was conducted to compare a...
Whole Body Vibration Training is Osteogenic at the Spine in College-Age Men and Women.
Osteoporosis is a chronic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass which is currently challenging the American health care syste...
Vascular adaptations induced by 6 weeks WBV resistance exercise training.
BACKGROUND: The impact of whole-body vibration (WBV) upon the cardiovascular system is receiving increasing attention. Despite numerous...
Analysing gait using a force-measuring walkway: intrasession repeatability in healthy children and adolescents.
The goal of this study was to determine the repeatability of gait parameters measured by a force plate gait analysis system (Leonardo M...
Resistive exercises, with or without whole body vibration, prevent vertebral marrow fat accumulation during 60 days of head-down tilt bed rest in men.
Fat accumulates in the bone marrow of lumbar vertebrae with bed rest. Exercise with or without whole body vibration may counter this ef...
Effects of jumping exercise on maximum ground reaction force and bone in 8- to 12-year-old boys and girls: a 9-month randomized controlled trial.
Objectives: To assess adaptations of the lower leg muscle-bone unit in 8- to 12-year-old children following a randomized controlled jum...
