“…In contrast, there are studies that reported potential benefits of the vibration training for athletes (Delecluse et al, 2005;Marín et al, 2011;Stewart et al, 2009). Those benefits are related among others to the increase in muscular strength, elasticity, and bone density.…”

“…Different studies have assessed the influence of this kind of training on muscle strength (Delecluse, Roelants, Diels, Koninckx, & Verschueren, 2005;Marín, Santos-Lozano, Santin-Medeiros, Delecluse, & Garatachea, 2011;Stewart, Cochrane, & Morton, 2009), muscle power (Colson & Petit, 2013), muscle stiffness (Colson & Petit, 2013), muscle speed (Delecluse et al, 2005), and jump performance (Lamont et al, 2008). These studies take into account the duration of the training (Stewart et al, 2009) and characteristics of vibration exposure such as frequency and amplitude (Colson & Petit, 2013).…”

Whole body vibration (WBV) is used as a training method but its physical risk is not yet clear. Hence, the aim of this study is to assess the exposure to WBV by a measure of acceleration at the lower limb under dynamic and static postural conditions. The hypothesis of this paper is that this assessment is influenced by the frequency, position, and movement of the body. Fifteen healthy males are exposed to vertical sinusoidal vibration at different frequencies (20-60 Hz), while adopting three different static postures (knee extension angle: 180°, 120° and 90°) or performing a dynamic half-squat exercise. Accelerations at input source and at three joints of the lower limb (ankle, knee, and hip) are measured using skin-mounted accelerometers. Acceleration values (g) in static conditions show a decrease in the vibrational dose when it is measured at a more proximal location in the lower extremity. The results of the performed statistical test show statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in the transmissibility values caused by the frequency, the position, and to the presence of the movement and its direction at the different conditions. The results confirm the initial hypothesis and justify the importance of a vibration assessment in dynamic conditions.

“…Whilst this was not directly quantified in the current study, Pel et al [20] reported a 10-fold reduction in transmission of WBV-induced acceleration from the ankle to the knee/hip at a range of frequencies above 20 Hz. Additionally, a recent study investigating the effects of WBV and conventional loaded squat exercises on muscle activation showed no differences in sEMG at various sites of the body, across a number of training loads and vibratory accelerations [21]. Furthermore, it has been speculated that high muscle activity levels associated with muscle stiffness is a possible explanation for modulation of strength development following WBV exposure [20].…”

Paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was used to investigate 4 wks of leg strength training with and without whole body vibration (WBV) on corticospinal excitability and short-latency intracortical inhibition (SICI). Participants (n = 12) were randomly allocated to either a control or experimental (WBV) group. All participants completed 12 squat training sessions either with (WBV group) or without (control group) exposure to WBV (f = 35 Hz, A = 2.5 mm). There were significant (P < 0.05) increases in squat strength and corticospinal excitability and significant (P < 0.05) reductions in SICI for both groups following the 4 wk intervention. There were no differences detected between groups for any dependant variable (P > 0.05). It appears that WBV training does not augment the increase in strength or corticospinal excitability induced by strength training alone.

“…Thus, patients' blood values, i.e., platelets counts, and well-being limit the intensity and volume of resistance training [25,26]. Therefore, whole body vibration (WBV) presents a gentler resistance training method, as it does not additionally exacerbate cardiovascular stress while exercising [27], and reveals similar EMG activity as resistance exercises with external loads [28]. WBV is applied through a vibration platform upon which the subjects stand; it produces alternating sinusoidal movements of the lower body [29].…”

Whole body vibration training during allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation—the effects on patients’ physical capacity

et al. 2020

Patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) experience a considerable decline in physical and psycho-social capacity. Since whole body vibration (WBV) is known to efficiently stimulate the neuromuscular system and enhance cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength in frail individuals, we hypothesized that WBV would maintain various physical and psychological capacities in patients during alloHCT. Seventy-one patients were randomly allocated to either an intervention group (IG) doing WBV or an active control group (CG) doing mobilization exercises five times per week. We determined peak oxygen consumption (VO 2peak) and maximum power, maximum strength, functional performance, body composition, quality of life (QoL), and fatigue. Tests were carried out before conditioning therapy, at hospital discharge and at day ± 180 (follow-up). As 18 patients did not participate in post-intervention assessment and follow-up data from 9 patients was not collectible, per-protocol (PP) analysis of 44 patients is presented. During hospitalization, WBV maintained maximum strength, height, and power output during jumping, as well as reported QoL, physical functioning, and fatigue level compared with mobilization. At follow-up, relative VO 2peak (p = 0.035) and maximum power (p = 0.011), time and power performing chairrising test (p = 0.022; p = 0.009), and reported physical functioning (p = 0.035) significantly increased in the IG, while fatigue decreased (p = 0.005). CG's body cell mass and phase angle had significantly decreased at follow-up (p = 0.002; p = 0.004). Thus, WBV might maintain maximum strength, functional performance, QoL, and fatigue during alloHCT, while cardiorespiratory fitness might benefit from accelerated recovery afterwards.
