Whole body vibration as an adjunct to static stretching
This study was a randomized control trial. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to determine if stretching the hamstrings during w...
Efficacy of a whole-body vibration intervention on functional performance of community-dwelling older adults
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate efficacy of a whole-body vibration (WBV) intervention on functional performan...
Vibration as an exercise modality: how it may work, and what its potential might be
Whilst exposure to vibration is traditionally regarded as perilous, recent research has focussed on potential benefits. Here, the physi...
Rundum fit durch ganzheitliches Muskeltraining
Gut definiert in den Sommer. Seitenalternierendes Vibrationstraining - eine zeitsparende Methode zum ganzheitlichen Muskelaufbau.
Handheld vibration effects shoulder motion
We explored effects of handheld vibration on glenohumeral motion in competitive overhead-throwing athletes. We used a randomized, blind...
Influence of vibration resistance training on knee extensor and plantar flexor size, strength, and contractile speed characteristics after 60 days of bed rest
Spaceflight and bed rest (BR) result in loss of muscle mass and strength. This study evaluated the effectiveness of resistance training...
The acute effect of vibration exercise on concentric muscular characteristics
This study was designed to compare the acute effect of vibration exercise with a concentric-only activity (arm cranking) on concentric-...
Vibration training intervention to maintain cartilage thickness and serum concentrations of cartilage oligometric matrix protein (COMP) during immobilization
OBJECTIVE:
To test the hypotheses that 1) 14-days of immobilization of young healthy subjects using a 6 degrees -'head-down-tilt-bed-r...
Whole-body vibration induced adaptation in knee extensors; consequences of initial strength, vibration frequency, and joint angle
It was hypothesized that both vibration frequency and muscle length modulate the strengthening of muscles that is assumed to result fro...
Vibration exposure and biodynamic responses during whole-body vibration training
PURPOSE: Excessive, chronic whole-body vibration (WBV) has a number of negative side effects on the human body, including disorders of ...
