“…Our findings are in contrast with those of Di Giminiani et al (2013) who found greater EMG activity in the VL during 45-60 Hz WBV compared to 20-30 Hz WBV. However, we observed greater improvements following 30 Hz LMV compared to 60 Hz LMV.…”

“…Compared with higher vibration frequencies, 30 Hz may preferentially activate concentric and eccentric musclecontraction cycles. Preferential stimulation of skeletal muscle by WBV has been supported in recent work by investigators 33 who found that vibration frequencies of 25 to 35 Hz preferentially activated the lateral gastrocnemius muscle as measured with electromyography. In contrast, we found that a WBV frequency of 25 Hz greatly increased muscle-oxygenation levels (Hedges g ¼ 4.55) compared with baseline values, indicating that the oxygen supply far exceeded demand during WBV exposure.…”

Context:The use and popularity of whole-body vibration (WBV) has increased in recent years, but there is a lack of consensus in the literature about the effectiveness of the treatment.Objective: To quantitatively examine the effects of WBV on muscle oxygenation and peripheral blood flow in healthy adults.Data Sources: We searched Web of Science and PubMed databases and reference lists from relevant articles using the key terms whole body vibration, whole-body vibration, WBV, blood flow, peripheral blood flow, oxygenation, muscle oxygenation, circulation, circulatory, near infrared spectroscopy, NIRS, and power Doppler. Key terms were searched using single word and combination searches. No date range was specified.Study Selection: Criteria for inclusion were (1) use of a commercially available WBV device, (2) a human research model, (3) a pre-WBV condition and at least 1 WBV experimental condition, and (4) reporting of unstandardized means and standard deviations of muscle oxygenation or peripheral blood flow.Data Extraction: Means, standard deviations, and sample sizes were extracted from the text, tables, and figures of included studies. A total of 35 and 90 data points were extracted for the muscle-oxygenation and blood-flow meta-analyses, respectively. Data for each meta-analysis were combined and analyzed using meta-analysis software. Weighted, randomeffects meta-analyses using the Hedges g metric were completed for muscle oxygenation and blood flow. We then conducted follow-up analyses using the moderator variables of vibration type, vibration time, vibration frequency, measurement location, and sample type.Data Synthesis: We found 18 potential articles. Further examination yielded 10 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Whole-body vibration was shown to positively influence peripheral blood flow. Additionally, the moderators of vibration type and frequency altered the influence of WBV on blood flow. Overall, WBV did not alter muscle oxygenation; however, when the measurement site was considered, muscle oxygenation increased or decreased depending on the location.Conclusions: Acute bouts of WBV increase peripheral blood flow but do not alter skeletal muscle oxygenation. Vibration type appears to be the most important factor influencing both muscle oxygenation and peripheral blood flow. Key Words: interventions, modalities, circulatory system Key PointsAn acute bout of therapeutic whole-body vibration (WBV) increases peripheral blood flow but does not alter muscleoxygenation levels. Vibration type and frequency affect peripheral blood flow and muscle oxygenation during an acute bout of WBV. Additional work examining the effects of WBV on circulatory measures in injured populations is needed. Although WBV is promising when used in healthy people, clinicians should be cautious in applying WBV as a therapeutic modality to improve vascular measures after injury or illness.O ver the past decade, the incorporation of wholebody vibration (WBV) into fitness and injury treatment programs has expanded rapidly.1,2 R...

SummaryThe proper design and implementation of a study as well as a balanced and well-supported evaluation and interpretation of its main findings are of crucial importance when reporting and disseminating research. Also accountability, funding acknowledgement and adequately declaring any conflict of interest play a major role in science. Since the Muscles, Ligaments and Tendons Journal (MLTJ) is committed to the highest scientific and ethical standards, we encourage all Authors to take into account and to comply, as much as possible, to the contents and issues discussed in this official editorial. This could be useful for improving the quality of the manuscripts, as well as to stimulate interest and debate and to promote constructive change, reflecting upon uses and misuses within our disciplines belonging to the field of "Clinical and Sport -Science Research". KEY WORDS: best practice, conflict of interest, design, experimental approach, ethical standard, statement, evidence-based medicine.
