Whole-body vibration training (WBVT; a type of vibrotherapy) is often used in addition to conventional physical training, to improve skeletal muscle strength in both sports and rehabilitation. Recent studies have also shown that WBVT can be a useful form of exercise for improving cardiovascular function in the elderly and weak. However, the mechanisms underlying the […]
Vibrotherapy used in the prone position for 21 days (2 treatments a day) with RAM Vitberg+ {now updated to Vitberg RS; editorial note} is a promising method to improve glycemic control. Research carried out at the PWSZ (Nowy Sącz, Poland) showed a positive effect of vibration therapy on insulin resistance in people at the risk […]
Muscle atrophy (mass loss) is a common problem in aging, neuromuscular diseases, or in reduced gravity. Using a laboratory model of chronic body disuse in the 60-day bed rest (BR) test, the global gene expression profile was analyzed for the first time in conjunction with proteomic analysis to map molecular adaptations in unused soleus muscle […]
{The beneficial effect of whole-body vibration on fitness seems to be well-established in the literature, while its influence on the psyche is still under investigation. Therapeutic vibrations can be generated in several ways, for example: manually (by a physiotherapist) or by mechanical wave, including a sound wave. Editorial note} The aim of Japanese scientists from […]
Whole body vibration (WBV) training can affect the neuromuscular system even in unconscious patients because the signals affecting muscle contractions can be controlled by the spinal cord without the cerebral cortex involvement. In addition, as already shown in healthy volunteers, athletes, the elderly, and patients in various hospital departments outside the Intensive Care Units (ICU), […]
The elderly need an appropriate rehabilitation program and physioprophylaxis so the aging process went off in a satisfactory way. Vibration training uses a vibrational mechanical stimulus which affects metabolic processes and health like other forms of physical activity. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of 30 vibration treatments on body fat, […]
