Abstract High-frequency mechanical strain seems to stimulate bone strength in animals. In this randomized controlled trial, hip BMD was measured postmenopausal women after a 24-week whole body vibration (WBV) training program. Vibration significantly increased of the hip. These findings suggest that WBV might be useful prevention osteoporosis. Introduction: has been shown different animal models. However, effects exercise on human skeleton have rarely studied. Particularly women—who are most...

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate compare the effect a 12-wk period whole-body vibration training resistance on human knee-extensor strength. Methods Sixty-seven untrained females (21.4 ± 1.8 yr) participated in study. group (WBV, N = 18) placebo (PL, 19) performed static dynamic exercises...
Objectives: To investigate the effects of 24 weeks whole‐body‐vibration (WBV) training on knee‐extension strength and speed movement counter‐movement jump performance in older women. Design: A randomized, controlled trial. Setting: Exercise Physiology Biomechanics Laboratory, Leuven, Belgium Participants: Eighty‐nine postmenopausal women, off hormone replacement therapy, aged 58 to 74, were randomly assigned a WBV group (n=30), resistance‐training (RES, n=30), or control (n=29)....
The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effect 24 weeks "whole body vibration" training fitness on composition muscle strength. Forty-eight untrained females (21.3 +/- 2.0 yr) participated in study. whole vibration group (N = 18) performed unloaded static dynamic exercises a platform (35 - 40 Hz, 2.5 5.0 mm; Power Plate). followed standard cardiovascular (15 min) resistance program including leg press extension (20 8 RM). Both groups trained 3 times weekly. control 12) did...
Background. This randomized controlled study investigated the effects of 1-year whole-body vibration (WBV) training on isometric and explosive muscle strength mass in community-dwelling men older than 60 years.
This study analyzed leg muscle activity during whole-body vibration (WBV) training. Subjects performed standard unloaded isometric exercises on a vibrating platform (Power Plate): high squat (HS), low (LS), and 1-legged (OL). Muscle of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, medialis, gastrocnemius was recorded in 15 men (age 21.2 +/- 0.8 years) through use surface electromyography (EMG). The were 2 conditions: with WBV without (control [CO]) vibratory stimulus 35 Hz. activation compared CO...
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect high-resistance (HR) and high-velocity (HV) training on different phases 100-m sprint performance. Two groups (HR HV) were compared with two control (RUN PAS). HR (N = 22) HV group 21) trained 3 d.wk-1 for 9 wk: strength sessions or one running session. There was a run (RUN, N 12) that also participated in (1 d.wk-1) passive (PAS, 11). Running speed over recorded every 2 m. By means principal component analysis all variables, three...
Despite the expanding use of Whole Body Vibration training among athletes, it is not known whether adding to conventional sprint-trained athletes will improve speed-strength performance. Twenty experienced (13 male symbol, 7 female 17-30 years old) were randomly assigned a group (n=10: 6 symbol and 4 symbol) or Control 3 symbol). During 5-week experimental period all subjects continued their program, but additionally performed three times weekly prior program. The program consisted unloaded...
Background: whole body vibration (WBV) training appears to be an efficient alternative for conventional resistance in older individuals. So far, no data exist about the vibratory effect on cardiorespiratory fitness. Objectives: this randomised controlled trial assessed effects of 1-year WBV fitness and muscle strength community-dwelling adults over age 60. Methods: a total 220 (mean 67.1 years) were randomly assigned group, group or control group. The exercised platform, performed...
Abstract Sarcopenia and osteoporosis represent a growing public health problem. We studied the potential benefit of whole-body vibration (WBV) training given conventional or high dose daily vitamin D supplementation in improving strength, muscle mass, bone density postmenopausal women. In 2 × factorial-design trial, 113 institutionalized elderly females aged over 70 years (mean age 79.6 years) were randomly assigned either to WBV no-training group, receiving (880 IU/day) (1600 D3. The...
Ageing is associated with an attenuated hypertrophic response to resistance training and periods of interruptions. Hence, elderly would benefit from the 'muscle memory' effects on muscle strength mass during detraining retraining. As underlying mechanisms are not yet clear, this study investigated role myonuclei training, retraining by using PCM1 labelling in cross-sections six older men. Knee extension power were measured 30 men 10 controls before after 12 weeks similar length. In a subset,...
A validated, standardized, and feasible test to assess muscle power in older adults has recently been reported: the sit-to-stand (STS) test. This investigation aimed relationship between relative STS age provide normative data, cut-off points, minimal clinically important differences (MCID) for measures women men.
Abstract Background Maximum muscle power (P max ) is a biomarker of physical performance in all ages. No longitudinal studies have assessed the effects aging on P obtained from torque‐velocity (T‐V) relationship, which should be considered ‘gold standard’. This study evaluated changes T‐V relationship and knee‐extensor muscles young, middle‐aged, older adults after 10 years follow‐up. Methods Four hundred eighty‐nine subjects (311 men 178 women; aged 19–68 years) were tested at baseline...
We investigated the interaction between step length and rate its effect on sprint performance in male female sprinters during initial acceleration (IA) (0-10 m), transition phase (TP) (10-30 at maximal speed (MS). Ten high-level ran 2 all-out 60-m sprints. Force-time characteristics of start action were recorded by means instrumented starting blocks. Running using a laser system (ULS), whereas measured for each (Optojump). Step was normalized leg length. Explosive strength lower limb muscles...
Abstract The aim of this study was to characterize the specifics sprint technique during transition from start block into running in well-trained sprinters. Twenty-one sprinters (11 men and 10 women), equipped with 74 spherical reflective markers, executed an explosive action. An opto-electronic motion analysis system consisting 12 MX3 cameras (250 Hz; 325,000 pixels) two Kistler force plates (1000 Hz) used collect three-dimensional (3D) marker trajectories ground reaction forces (Nexus,...
