Optimising whole body vibration training for use in older people.
SIR—Brooke-Wavell and Mansfield rightly point out that whole body vibration exercise may prove useful for older people who cannot perform conventional exercise [1]. Perhaps its greatest attraction to clinicians is that it involves minimal active movement by the participant, such that it has potential for use in the rehabilitation of very immobile patients who are not improving with more convent...
متن کاملWhole Body Vibration Training
This evidence-based review summarises information on the effectiveness and safety Whole Body Vibration across a range of populations for varying purposes. It is not intended to replace clinical judgement or to be used as a clinical protocol. A reasonable attempt has been made to find and review papers relevant to the focus of this report. It does not claim to be exhaustive. This document has be...
متن کاملRisks and benefits of whole body vibration training in older people.
Regular whole body vibration training, i.e. standing on a platform that vibrates at a high frequency over a small amplitude, has been reported to produce neuromuscular adaptation and increase bone mineral density in some frailer populations [1]. As such, it has attracted interest for its potential benefits regarding physical function, fall and fracture risk in older people. These potential bene...
متن کاملStrength training effects of whole-body vibration?
Whole-body vibration (WBV) has been suggested to have a beneficial effect on muscle strength. Manufacturers of vibration platforms promote WBV as an effective alternative or complement to resistance training. This study aimed to review systematically the current (August 2005) scientific support for effects of WBV on muscle strength and jump performance. MEDLINE and SPORT DISCUS were searched fo...
متن کاملWhole body vibration exercise: training and benefits.
In recent years, it has been suggested that exercise using whole body vibration (WBV) platforms may increase muscle activity and subsequently enhance muscle performance in both acute and chronic conditions. WBV platforms produce frequencies ranging from 15-60 Hz and vertical displacements from ~1-11 mm, resulting in accelerations of ~2.2-5.1 g. Acute exposure to WBV has produced mixed results i...
