“… 29 Although the vibration protocol with higher frequencies (>35 Hz) could significantly improve the performances of squat jumps and CMJ, it did not significantly change the eccentric utilization ratio. 30 In this study, the increase of eccentric contraction strength in the LFV group was higher than the effects of concentric and isometric contractions because of a high amplitude of passive stimulation.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to compare the effects of an 8-week whole-body vibration training program in various frequency and amplitude settings under the same acceleration on the strength and power of the knee extensors.MethodsSixty-four young participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 groups with the same acceleration (4 g): high frequency and low amplitude (n = 16, 32 Hz, 1 mm) group, medium frequency and medium amplitude (n = 16, 18 Hz, 3 mm) group, low frequency and high amplitude (n = 16, 3 Hz, 114 mm) group, and control (n = 16, no vibration) group. All participants underwent 8 weeks of training with body mass dynamic squats, 3 sessions a week.ResultsThe results showed that the high frequency and low amplitude group increased significantly in isometric contraction strength and 120°/s isokinetic concentric contraction strength; the medium frequency and medium amplitude group increased significantly in 60°/s and 120°/s isokinetic strength of both concentric and eccentric contraction; and the low frequency and high amplitude group increased significantly in 60°/s and 120°/s isokinetic eccentric contraction strength.ConclusionAll frequency and amplitude settings in the 8-week whole-body vibration training increased muscle strength, but different settings resulted in various neuromuscular adaptations despite the same intensity.

“…They performed a familiarization and two interventions sessions, which included MVC (five) of the elbow flexors with a duration of 10 seconds and 5-min intervals between each MVC. Firstly, MVC was performed without mechanical vibration followed by four MVC (randomized) with application of mechanical vibration in the direction of the resultant muscle forces' vector (VDF) or WBV exercise using different frequencies (10,20,30,or 40 Hz). Consequently, the mechanical vibration stimulus was superimposed during the MVC.…”

“…Yang et al [30] described that vertical and side-alternating WBV can improve muscle power performance but have a limited efficacy for enhancing change-of-direction (COD) ability. They studied the acute effect of dual-or single-frequency WBV exercise on squat jumps (SJs), countermovement jumps (CMJs), eccentric utilization ratios (EURs), and COD ability in rugby players.…”

The exposure of individuals to mechanical vibrations produced in vibrating platform can generate whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise. This modality of exercise represents a less tiring alternative to sport, which could benefit mechanical human behavior and prevent sports injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. The specificity of the human body, articulated and connected segments, requires to take into account the biomechanical parameters in protocols involving WBV exercise. Moreover, work time, rest time between the bouts in each session number of sessions, extension of the intervention, and week periodicity must be also well established. Responses to WBV exercise are observed at musculoskeletal, neurological, endocrinological and vascular levels. With respect to the musculoskeletal level, it is verified increase of muscle strength, endurance and power, improvement of the balance, increase of bone mineral density and the decrease of risk of falls. There are several tools to evaluate the responses of the body to WBV exercise. The aim of this chapter is to highlight the relevance of the WBV exercise as an intervention of the physical therapy for the better human optimization.

“…Recently, vibration has been used as a complementary therapy to relieve pain and improve functions in LBP patients [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Vibration exercise involves standing still or performing dynamic exercises on a vibratory platform [ 18 , 19 ]. An advantage of this exercise is that vibratory stimulation can be provided alongside normal exercise, increasing muscle strength and joint stability through neuromuscular activity [ 20 , 21 ].…”

There are many adolescent patients complaining of low back pain, but research on it is lacking. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of trunk stabilization exercise combined with vibration on the pain, proprioception, and kinematics of the lumbar spine (LS) during sit to stand (STS) in adolescent patients with nonspecific low back pain (LBP). Fifty LBP patients were recruited and were randomly divided into two groups: Vibration group (n = 25) and placebo group (n = 25). All participants underwent 36-sessions of training consisting of six exercises. The Vibration group provided vibration stimulation during exercise, but the placebo group did not. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and digital dual inclinometer were used to measure pain intensity and proprioception. The kinematics of the lumbar spine during STS were measured by motion capture system. After training, the pain and proprioception in the vibration group improved significantly greater than the placebo group (p < 0.05). The mobility of LS (maximum range of motion, angular velocity, lumbar to hip movement ratios) and lumbar-hip coordination during STS in the vibration group were significantly improved compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). Thus, trunk stabilization exercise combined with vibration may be used to improve the pain, proprioception, and kinematic of the lumbar spine during sit to stand in adolescent patients with LBP.
