“…WBV could increase VO 2 in part by inducing increased postural control (Abercromby et al 2007) but at least some of the increased VO 2 during the WBV exercise session is due to the increased exercise intensity resulting from the WBV-induced increase in skeletal muscle activity (Abercromby et al 2007;Cardinale and Lim 2003;Hazell et al 2007Hazell et al , 2010Marin et al 2009;Ritzmann et al 2010;Roelants et al 2006). Our data demonstrating a greater VO 2 and HR during the WBV exercise session compared to NoV are consistent with this suggestion.…”

“…Regardless of the mechanism responsible, acute WBV exercise (both synchronous and side-alternating) has been shown to increase muscle activity, blood flow, and muscle/ skin temperature (Abercromby et al 2007;Cardinale and Lim 2003;Cochrane et al 2008;Hazell et al 2007Hazell et al , 2008Hazell et al , 2010Marin et al 2009;Ritzmann et al 2010;Roelants et al 2006) and has even been reported to increase strength, power, and performance (Bosco et al 1999;Cormie et al 2006; Da Silva-Grigoletto et al 2009;McBride et al 2010;Ronnestad 2009;Torvinen et al 2002a). However, there are also data showing little effect (de Ruiter et al 2003;Erskine et al 2007;Guggenheimer et al 2009;Torvinen et al 2002b) perhaps indicating that a wide range of exercise intensities are possible with WBV exercise.…”

Single bout whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise has been shown to produce small but significant increases in oxygen consumption (VO(2)). How much more a complete whole-body exercise session (multiple dynamic exercises targeting both upper and lower body muscles) can increase VO(2) is unknown. The purpose of this study was to quantify VO(2) during and for an extended time period (24 h) following a multiple exercise WBV exercise session versus the same session without vibration (NoV). VO(2) of healthy males (n = 8) was measured over 24 h on a day that included a WBV exercise session versus a day with the same exercise session without vibration (NoV), and versus a control day (no exercise). Upper and lower body exercises were studied (five, 30 s, 15 repetition sets of six exercises; 1:1 exercise:recovery ratio over 30 min). Diet was controlled. VO(2) was 23% greater (P = 0.002) during the WBV exercise session versus the NoV session (62.5 ± 12.0 vs. 50.7 ± 8.2 L O(2)) and elicited a higher (P = 0.033) exercise heart rate versus NoV (139 ± 6 vs. 126 ± 11 bpm). Total O(2) consumed over 8 and 24 h following the WBV exercise was also increased (P < 0.010) (240.5 ± 28.3 and 518.9 ± 61.2 L O(2)) versus both NoV (209.7 ± 22.9 and 471.1 ± 51.6 L O(2)) and control (151.4 ± 20.7 and 415.2 ± 51.6 L O(2)). NoV was also increased versus control (P < 0.003). A day with a 30-min multiple exercise, WBV session increased 24 h VO(2) versus a day that included the same exercise session without vibration, and versus a non-exercise day by 10 and 25%, respectively.

“…Moreover, WBV did not increase HR or MAP versus that observed with the non-WBV semi-squat. Although previously, we and others have shown WBV increases in EMG activity versus the same exercise without the WBV stimulus (Cardinale and Lim 2003;Hazell et al 2007;Roelants et al 2006) the present findings indicate that superimposing WBV to a semi-squat exercise session produces minimal additional cardiovascular stress. The seated condition of this study was included to evaluate the effect of a WBV stimulus on inactive muscles not under tension (unloaded) because previous research has suggested that muscles and joints under tension have an increased response to the WBV perturbation (Hagbarth and Eklund 1966;Martin and Park 1997;Mester et al 1999;Nordin and Hagbarth 1996).…”

“…Previous studies have suggested that WBV exposure results in increases in oxygen consumption [4.5 mL/ (kg min)] (Rittweger et al 2001), energy expenditure (Garatachea et al 2007), and EMG activity (Cardinale and Lim 2003;Hazell et al 2007;Roelants et al 2006). Our current data indicate intermittent semi-squat exercise with WBV when repeated for 15 repetitions (1 min on and 1 min off) increases common FBF and distal LSk temp minimally relative to the same exercise without vibration.…”

Vertical whole-body vibration does not increase cardiovascular stress to static semi-squat exercise

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of vertical whole-body vibration (WBV) on heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), femoral artery blood flow (FBF), and leg skin temperature (LSk(temp)) during static exercise. These parameters were examined: seated next to the WBV device (passive, unloaded), with feet secured onto the WBV platform (knees 90 degrees flexion) and while standing in a semi-squat position (static, loaded, knees 120 degrees flexion); both with and without WBV. Conditions involved 1 min bouts separated by 1 min rest, repeated 15 times followed by 10 min recovery. WBV in the seated condition had no effect on the responses examined. The static semi-squat without WBV increased MAP 9 mmHg (P < 0.05) with no significant effect on HR, FBF, or LSk(temp). Similarly, WBV static semi-squat increased MAP 8-14 mmHg (P < 0.05), FBF 135-180 mL/min, and LSk(temp) 1.8-3.1 degrees C (P < 0.05). However, only the LSk(temp) was increased above the no-WBV semi-squat position (P < 0.05). The addition of WBV to repeated intermittent static semi-squats does not appear to be a significant cardiovascular stressor.

The effectiveness of various therapeutic methods on bone fracture has been demonstrated in several studies. In the present study, we tried to evaluate the effect of local low-magnitude, high-frequency vibration (LMHFV) on rat tibia fracture in comparison with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) during the healing process. Mid-diaphysis tibiae fractures were induced in 30 Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were assigned into groups such as control (CONT), LMHFV (15 min/day, 7 days/week), and PEMF (3.5 h/day, 7 days/week) for a three-week treatment. Nothing was applied to control group. Radiographs, serum osteocalcin levels, and stereological bone analyses of the three groups were compared. The X-rays of tibiae were taken 21 days after the end of the healing process. PEMF and LMHFV groups had more callus formation when compared to CONT group; however, the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.375). Serum osteocalcin levels were elevated in the experimental groups compared to CONT (P ≤ 0.001). Stereological tests also showed higher osteogenic results in experimental groups, especially in LMHFV group. The results of the present study suggest that application of direct local LMHFV on fracture has promoted bone formation, showing great potential in improving fracture outcome.
