Obesity is one of the diseases of civilisation in the 21st century and is defined as an excessive accumulation of body fat. There is no doubt that such a condition is dangerous and has a negative impact on the functioning of the entire body. People with obesity are at greater risk of developing other diseases […]

Increased and prolonged physical exertion often causes delayed muscle soreness (“soreness”). This is caused by the development of inflammatory processes in response to mechanical damage to skeletal muscle. Muscle efficiency then decreases, and muscle mass and strength may also be reduced. Researchers from the University of Physical Education in Krakow, analyzing the concentrations of selected […]

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a serious rheumatic autoimmune disease affecting organ structure and functional activity. The aim of the Brazilian researchers, authors of the present report, was to evaluate the effect of 12-week vibration therapy in the form of whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE) on fatigue, functional performance and quality of life in women with […]

The effectiveness of chest vibration with simultaneous aerobic training in COPD The aim of the Italian researchers was to investigate the effect of a 4-week standard pulmonary rehabilitation on dyspnea and physical functionality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), compared to the effects of the same treatment but combined with the administration of […]

The goal of Brazilian researchers at the Federal University of Paraíba was to compare the acute effect of isometric abdominal exercise performed with or without vibration on electromyographic (EMG) activity and skin temperature around the abdomen in physically active people. The vibrations given during isometric abdominal exercises proved to be safe and did not affect […]

In sports, it is important to use short breaks to accelerate post-exercise recovery. Previous studies have revealed that: vibration can reduce post-exercise muscle soreness. However, there is still high heterogeneity in the effects of vibration on cardiovascular autonomic activities. Most studies to date have focused on high-frequency vibration. The findings of this study provide a […]

Excessive work can damage muscles and cause delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). The power of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) is then diminished and it is believed that the reduced muscle strength is the most important and reliable indication of direct muscle damage in humans. The aim of the presented work by South Korean scientists […]

In saving from drowning, a quick response of the rescuer is the key. The rescuer’s physical condition during rescue is tested by extremely demanding metabolic needs. A single rescue operation causes a large increase in blood lactate concentration. Water rescuers are often forced to react many times within 1 day, therefore effective regeneration after each […]

To increase the mobility of the joints in a warm-up before exercise and during regeneration after exercise, foam rollers are often used. The use of foam rollers with a built-in vibrator also seems to be an interesting solution. Vibrations can additionally stimulate muscular spindles and Golgi tendon organs, affecting proprioception. As some studies show, vibration […]

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is often associated with chronic quadriceps dysfunction leading to abnormal gait biomechanics and joint damage. Previous studies have shown that vibration improves quadriceps function in people with ACLR, but the duration of these effects is unknown. Therefore, American scientists from High Point University analyzed the time course of quadriceps muscle […]
