The effectiveness of chest vibration with simultaneous aerobic training in COPD The aim of the Italian researchers was to investigate the effect of a 4-week standard pulmonary rehabilitation on dyspnea and physical functionality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), compared to the effects of the same treatment but combined with the administration of […]
In saving from drowning, a quick response of the rescuer is the key. The rescuer’s physical condition during rescue is tested by extremely demanding metabolic needs. A single rescue operation causes a large increase in blood lactate concentration. Water rescuers are often forced to react many times within 1 day, therefore effective regeneration after each […]
To increase the mobility of the joints in a warm-up before exercise and during regeneration after exercise, foam rollers are often used. The use of foam rollers with a built-in vibrator also seems to be an interesting solution. Vibrations can additionally stimulate muscular spindles and Golgi tendon organs, affecting proprioception. As some studies show, vibration […]
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 […]
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 […]
Short-term whole body vibration (WBV) increases neuromuscular activation. Among the responsible mechanisms, the desensitization (reduction of sensitivity to excitation) of muscle spindles by local vibrations is postulated. In addition, it is believed that local vibrations, as well as WBV, contribute to a permanent reduction in the excitability of the spinal cord. This may be due […]
