The aim of the presented research by German scientists was to test the effectiveness of a 12-week whole-body vibration training (WBVT) in the treatment of chronic Achilles tendinitis. For comparative purposes, the effects of 12-week conventional eccentric training or the lack of therapeutic intervention during this period were also analyzed in this context. Pain symptoms, […]
Pain in the lower back is often caused by nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) of unknown etiology. It is not a separate disease entity, but a symptom such as pain or dizziness. In NSLBP, impaired proprioception is observed, i.e. impaired processing of joints positions and movements information by the central nervous system. Moreover, decreased lumbar […]
Due to at least economic factors, there is a growing need for effective and simple therapies for the increasingly common musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders, such as in the case of osteoporosis. Vibrotherapy seems extremely promising, at least for some patients, where therapeutic vibration (TV)* is increasingly used to improve bone structure and muscle performance. However, this […]
The iliotibial band (ITB) – a high-density fibrous connective tissue that begins with the tensor fasciae latae (TFL), part of the gluteal muscle and iliac crest, and covers the hip and knee joints. Inflammation of ITB as a result of excessive training can cause injuries in athletes or military who often repeat the same movements. […]
In the treatment of osteoporosis, among others, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, as well as physical exercise are used. Recently, a passive form of physical activity – whole-body vibration (WBV) – has gained attention in this context. Since WBV can be very beneficial in terms of ease of implementation and accessibility even for weakened patients […]
An important therapeutic element in osteoporosis is physical activity, which has a positive effect on muscle strength, balance and bone mineral density (BMD). For those who cannot perform intense exercise and do not want/ cannot use pharmacotherapy, whole-body vibration (WBV), a form of vibrotherapy, can help. WBV is an easy-to-use substitute for physical activity in […]
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death in humans. An important element of pulmonary rehabilitation is the training of peripheral muscles that stimulates the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. Unfortunately, standard resistance exercises or training on a treadmill carry a risk of acute dyspnea or hypoxemia. Research shows that whole-body […]
Whole-body vibration training (WBVT) has great potential in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), positively affecting physical fitness. This may be due to the beneficial action on balance. This hypothesis was tested by German scientists from the University of Marburg, the Technical University of Munich and the Schön Klinik Berchtesgadener Land, […]
The aim of the presented report was to compare the hormonal responses of cortisol (C) and testosterone (T) during maximum graded aerobic cycling exercise: with vibration (Vib) vs without vibration (noVib). It was directed to sports experts planning the regeneration process or the time/ type of activity during training and competition. Moreover, having clinical implications […]
Short-term whole body vibration (WBV) increases neuromuscular activation. Among the responsible mechanisms, the desensitization (reduction of sensitivity to excitation) of muscle spindles by local vibrations is postulated. In addition, it is believed that local vibrations, as well as WBV, contribute to a permanent reduction in the excitability of the spinal cord. This may be due […]
