Age-Related Changes in Physical Function in Community-Dwelling People Aged 50-79 Years
We aimed to obtain the mean values for physical function tests in healthy community-dwelling people aged 50-79 years and to compare the...
The effects of whole-body vibration training in aging adults: a systematic review
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Whole-body vibration (WBV), has become increasingly popular as a form of exercise training. WBV involves the ap...
Zur Bedeutung der Körperhaltung auf Energietransmission und -absorption beim Vibrationstraining [The influence of posture on transmission and absorption of vibration energy in whole body vibration exercise]

Changes in muscle mass and strength after menopause
Menopause is associated with a natural decline in estrogen, that increases visceral fat mass, decreases bone mass density, muscle mass,...
Acute whole-body vibration elicits post-activation potentiation.
Whole-body vibration (WBV) leads to a rapid increase in intra-muscular temperature and enhances muscle power. The power-enhancing effec...
The acute effects of different whole-body vibration amplitudes and frequencies on flexibility and vertical jumping performance.
Frequency and amplitude determine the training load of whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise and thereby possible neuromuscular adaptatio...
