Whole-body vibration training (WBVT; a type of vibrotherapy) is often used in addition to conventional physical training, to improve skeletal muscle strength in both sports and rehabilitation. Recent studies have also shown that WBVT can be a useful form of exercise for improving cardiovascular function in the elderly and weak. However, the mechanisms underlying the […]
Muscle atrophy (mass loss) is a common problem in aging, neuromuscular diseases, or in reduced gravity. Using a laboratory model of chronic body disuse in the 60-day bed rest (BR) test, the global gene expression profile was analyzed for the first time in conjunction with proteomic analysis to map molecular adaptations in unused soleus muscle […]
Whole body vibration (WBV) training can affect the neuromuscular system even in unconscious patients because the signals affecting muscle contractions can be controlled by the spinal cord without the cerebral cortex involvement. In addition, as already shown in healthy volunteers, athletes, the elderly, and patients in various hospital departments outside the Intensive Care Units (ICU), […]
