Abstract:Whole body vibration (WBV) is reported to elicit increased bone mass and strength. This experiment was designed to determine the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) and dietary calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) on bone microarchitecture and turnover. A total of 26 growing pigs were utilized in a 60-d experiment. Pigs were randomly assigned within group to a 2 × 2 factorial with Ca and P concentration (low and adequate) and WBV. Low Ca, P diets were 0.9 g/kg less than recommended levels of Ca and available P. P… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
