“…The nine studies that examined strength all found statistically significant improvements in muscular strength [1,5,28,33,35,36,41,49,51], and three studies suggested WBV is as effective as conventional resistance training [5,41,49]. Of the seven studies that examined balance, each one found statistically significant improvements in the components measured.…”

“…A pilot study examining polio patients was the only study that did not show increased strength benefits with WBV training [7]. For the remaining 13 articles specific to lower body strength, two main themes exist; WBV improves muscular strength in seniors (e.g., [2,28,49]), and WBV is as effective as conventional resistance training (e.g., [35,41]). …”

Normal aging processes result in losses of functional flexibility and muscular strength, which increase seniors' fall risk and dependence on others. A relatively new intervention to reduce and/or reverse the adverse effects of aging is wholebody vibration (WBV) exercise. The purpose of this article is to review the established effects of WBVexercise exclusively with the aging population. A systematic search utilizing PubMed and Sport Discus databases uncovered journal articles specific to seniors and whole-body vibration. An extensive hand search supplemented the database results to find other relevant articles. Twenty-seven articles were obtained; all articles have been published in the past 8 years, reflecting the recent and growing interest in this area. Researchers have determined that WBV training can reduce fall risk and improve postural control in seniors. It has also been determined that WBV training can be as effective as conventional resistance training to improve seniors' lower body strength. However, little is known about the effect of WBV exercise on flexibility and upper body strength in the aging population. More research is required to establish how effective WBV training is on these specific components and how it may affect seniors' quality of life.

“…Therefore, consumption of creatine supplement increased isometric strength of the leg in elderly women for 10 days. Improvements in strength have been reported after WBW training (2,10,16,17,(30)(31)(32) in several previous studies with different durations. However, some other studies have not reported significant improvements in strength after WBW training (8,9).…”

“…In addition, improvement in lower body function following training is subject to increased strength, and there is a strong relationship between strength and the ability to perform daily activities such as walking, getting up, and sitting on a chair, and climbing stairs. Moreover, several studies have found that increase in strength and improvement in performance occurred simultaneously (23,24,30). Accordingly, the increase in leg strength may be a possible mechanism for improvement in the 30-meter walking performance in our study.…”

Background: A decline in neuromuscular function can cause a decrease in physical fitness in elderly women. Objective: The present study aimed at investigating whether whole body vibration (WBV) training and creatine supplementation could affect muscle strength, mobility, and balance in elderly women in short-term. Methods: The participants were 22 healthy elderly women aged 60 to 80 years, who were randomly divided into the whole-body vibration and creatine (WBV + Cr) group, whole-body vibration and placebo (WBV + P) group, and control group. The whole-body vibration group performed exercises for 10 days. The participants in WBV + Cr group consumed 20 g oral creatine supplement per day from the first to the fifth day, which was followed by consuming 5 g of creatine per day for the next 5 days. To assess mobility performance, a 30-meter walking and tandem gait tests were applied. Static and dynamic balance were measured by Flamingo and Timed-Up and Go (TUG) tests. Muscle isometric and isotonic strength were assessed by dynamometer and leg extension tests. Results: No significant difference was found in static balance (P = 0.11), but WBV + Cr and WBV + P groups showed better results in dynamic balance (P = 0.001 and P = 0.009, respectively). Moreover, leg isotonic strength improved significantly in WBV + Cr and WBV + P groups (P = 0.001 and P = 0.001, respectively). However, leg isometric strength and 30-meter walking performance significantly improved only in WBV + Cr group compared to the control group. Moreover, no significant differences were observed in isometric strength of the hand (P = 0.89) and tandem gait test results among the groups (P = 0.25). Conclusions: A short-term WBV exercise improves isotonic strength of the leg muscle and dynamic balance, while creatine supplementation with and without WBV training increases isometric strength of the leg muscle and mobility in elderly women.

“…Estudo realizado por Stolzenberg et al 26 aponta que o treino de vibração associado ao treino de força promove melhora no controle postural de idosas com baixa densidades óssea. Entretanto, Rees et al 27 não encontrou diferenças significativas na força muscular dos extensores de joelho dos indivíduos idosos que realizaram 2 meses de treinamento com vibração em relação ao grupo de treinamento sem vibração.…”

RESUMOIntrodução: As quedas em idosos são responsáveis por muitos casos de lesões e morte. As alterações de equilíbrio e força muscular decorrentes do envelhecimento, que contribuem para a ocorrência de quedas, podem ser parcialmente revertidas com o exercício físico. Objetivo: Verificar os efeitos de 8 semanas de treinamento de equilíbrio com haste vibratória, sobre o comprimento de passo e a ativação muscular do membro inferior de idosas durante marcha com duplas tarefas. Métodos: Participaram do estudo 16 idosas divididas aleatoriamente em dois grupos: grupo treinamento de equilíbrio (GTE) e grupo de treinamento de equilíbrio com haste vibratória (GTEHV). A avaliação da marcha foi composta por três condições distintas que incluiram marcha em velocidade de preferencia e duplas tarefas. Foram coletados os dados eletromiográficos dos músculos reto femoral, vasto lateral, bíceps femoral, tibial anterior e gastrocnêmio lateral, e dados cinemáticos de comprimento de passo. Resultados: O GTEHV apresentou maiores valores de comprimento de passo após o treinamento. Ambos os grupos (GTE e GTEHV) mostraram menores valores de ativação muscular após o treinamento. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que o treinamento de equilíbrio com haste vibratória pode ser eficaz para melhora do desempenho durante diferentes condições de marcha em idosos, contribuindo para a prevenção de quedas nesta população.Palavras-chave: acidentes por quedas, vibração, equilíbrio postural, fenômenos biomecânicos.
