“…Whole 1 3 body vibration (WBV) platforms have been popular training devices in recreational and athletic training as well as for rehabilitation purposes (Cardinale and Bosco 2003;Cochrane and Stannard 2005;Cardinale and Lim 2003;Rees et al 2008). The acute and long-term effects of WBV training have been investigated by several authors (Abercromby et al 2007;Cochrane and Stannard 2005;de Ruiter et al 2003a;Rittweger et al 2000Rittweger et al , 2003Blottner et al 2006;de Ruiter et al 2003b;Kvorning et al 2006). Vibrating dumbbells (Bosco et al 1999), vibrating pulley-like devices (Issurin et al 1994;Issurin and Tenenbaum 1999), and vibrating barbells (Poston et al 2007) have been proposed for the upper limbs.…”

“…In the past few years, WBV was proposed as a mild approach to counteract sarcopenia and osteoporosis in the elderly [54]. Standing on an oscillating platform determines an improved response of the leg and postural muscles through the so-called tonic vibration reflex [57]. This response might be the key to long-term functional and structural neuromuscular adaptations, demonstrated in several studies.…”

Skeletal muscle mass reduction might be a consequence of aging (sarcopenia), disease (cachexia) or inactivity (muscle atrophy). Studying the triggering factors leading to muscle loss is important in developing therapies to preserve muscle tissue function. The loss of skeletal muscle proteins is caused by an imbalance between the rate of their synthesis and degradation. Specifically, the conditions characterized by muscle loss involve an adaptation metabolism of increased protein degradation (cachexia), decreased muscle protein synthesis (inactivity), or alteration in both (sarcopenia). Sarcopenia and exercise is the main topic chosen for this review. This is a huge health problem, poorly discussed in the current literature and the aim of this review is to explain and help readers to better understand the differences between "sarcopenia", "cachexia", "muscle atrophy" and the relative beneficial effects of exercise used as a possible therapeutic intervention. Sarcopenia is a component of the fragility syndrome and indicates a significant health issue related to the progressive decline of muscle tissue quality and strength. Exercise is associated with improved life quality, reduced health problems, and prolonged lifespan. The latter suggests that exercise should be considered a fundamental point in the treatment of pathological skeletal muscle mass reduction. The present scientific contribution also seeks to emphasize to the scientific community the positive effects of the adapted physical activity in the elderly as a possible non-pharmacologic treatment to prevent or treat muscle atrophy.

“…Myoelectrical activity measurements recorded via SEMG could be affected by motion artifacts (6,24,25). Such artifacts can be eliminated using appropriate series of notch filters and full-wave rectification without losing valuable information on the motor unit response to vibration in SEMG data (26).…”

Whole-body vibration (WBV), as a method of exercise training, is becoming increasingly popular in physical therapy, rehabilitation, and professional sports, and is increasingly used in beauty and wellness applications due to its beneficial effects on the neuromusculoskeletal system. These benefits include improved strength, power, flexibility, jump height, and balance (1-4).However, little is known about the physiological mechanisms underlying the effects of WBV on muscular performance, although the presence of reflex muscle activity during WBV has been shown (4, 5). Tonic vibration reflex (TVR) is the most commonly cited mechanism to explain the effects of WBV on muscular performance, although there is no conclusive evidence that tonic vibration reflex (TVR) occurs (4-6). Studies have reported that direct vibration applied to a muscle or tendon stimulates muscle spindles, thereby causing a TVR to occur. As highlighted by these studies, muscle spindle Background: Whole-body vibration (WBV) induces reflex muscle activity and leads to increased muscle strength. However, little is known about the physiological mechanisms underlying the effects of whole-body vibration on muscular performance. Tonic vibration reflex is the most commonly cited mechanism to explain the effects of whole-body vibration on muscular performance, although there is no conclusive evidence that tonic vibration reflex occurs. The bone myoregulation reflex is another neurological mechanism used to explain the effects of vibration on muscular performance. Bone myoregulation reflex is defined as a reflex mechanism in which osteocytes exposed to cyclic mechanical loading induce muscle activity. Aims: The aim of this study was to assess whether bone tissue affected vibration-induced reflex muscle activity and vibration-induced muscle strength gain. Study Design: A prospective, randomised, controlled, double-blind, parallel-group clinical trial. Methods: Thirty-four participants were randomised into two groups. High-magnitude whole-body vibration was applied in the exercise group, whereas low-magnitude whole-body vibration exercises were applied in the control group throughout 20 sessions. Hip bone mineral density, isokinetic muscle strength, and plasma sclerostin levels were measured. The surface electromyography data were processed to obtain the Root Mean Squares, which were normalised by maximal voluntarily contraction. Results: In the exercise group, muscle strength increased in the right and left knee flexors (23.9%, p=0.004 and 27.5%, p<0.0001, respectively). However, no significant change was observed in the knee extensor muscle strength. There was no significant change in the knee muscle strength in the control group. The vibration-induced corrected Root Mean Squares of the semitendinosus muscle was decreased by 2.8 times (p=0.005) in the exercise group, whereas there was no change in the control group. Sclerostin index was decreased by 15.2% (p=0.031) in the exercise group and increased by 20.8% (p=0.028) in the control group. A change in th...

Variation in Neuromuscular Responses during Acute Whole-Body Vibration Exercise

Abstract: Motion artifacts should be removed from EMG data collected during WBV. We propose that neuromuscular responses during WBV may be modulated by leg muscle cocontraction as a postural control strategy and/or muscle tuning by the CNS intended to minimize soft-tissue vibration.
