The aim of the presented research was to assess the impact of a 5-week whole body vibration (WBV) training with different vibration parameters on factors regulating blood coagulability. The level of plasma fibrinogen (responsible for the increase in coagulation) and plasminogen (favoring the dissolution of blood clots), as well as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and […]
The iliotibial band (ITB) – a high-density fibrous connective tissue that begins with the tensor fasciae latae (TFL), part of the gluteal muscle and iliac crest, and covers the hip and knee joints. Inflammation of ITB as a result of excessive training can cause injuries in athletes or military who often repeat the same movements. […]
In the treatment of osteoporosis, among others, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, as well as physical exercise are used. Recently, a passive form of physical activity – whole-body vibration (WBV) – has gained attention in this context. Since WBV can be very beneficial in terms of ease of implementation and accessibility even for weakened patients […]
An important therapeutic element in osteoporosis is physical activity, which has a positive effect on muscle strength, balance and bone mineral density (BMD). For those who cannot perform intense exercise and do not want/ cannot use pharmacotherapy, whole-body vibration (WBV), a form of vibrotherapy, can help. WBV is an easy-to-use substitute for physical activity in […]
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death in humans. An important element of pulmonary rehabilitation is the training of peripheral muscles that stimulates the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems. Unfortunately, standard resistance exercises or training on a treadmill carry a risk of acute dyspnea or hypoxemia. Research shows that whole-body […]
Whole-body vibration training (WBVT) has great potential in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), positively affecting physical fitness. This may be due to the beneficial action on balance. This hypothesis was tested by German scientists from the University of Marburg, the Technical University of Munich and the Schön Klinik Berchtesgadener Land, […]
Local/ focal muscle vibration (FMV) is a non-invasive technique that in various studies has shown a positive effect on upper limb spasticity after stroke. However, different protocols used do not allow for comparisons between studies. It is still unclear, for example, whether agonistic or antagonistic muscles should be treated with local vibrotherapy to obtain better […]
Early tissue repair is accompanied by an inflammatory reaction, which can prevent infection at the site of injury and promote wound healing. However, it also carries a risk of complications. When the vocal folds (VF) heals, it can at worst lead to persistent dysphonia due to scarring of the VF. That’s why it is so […]
The aim of the presented report was to compare the hormonal responses of cortisol (C) and testosterone (T) during maximum graded aerobic cycling exercise: with vibration (Vib) vs without vibration (noVib). It was directed to sports experts planning the regeneration process or the time/ type of activity during training and competition. Moreover, having clinical implications […]
The aim of Turkish scientists was to compare the effects of treadmill training (TT) vs TT + whole-body vibration training (WBVT) on the attention, executive dysfunction, quality of life and severity of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) symptoms. By the end of the training programs, all traits tested had improved significantly after both TT or […]
