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 […]

In addition to its positive effects on strengthening immunity, exercise can help reduce the negative effects of pandemic stress and, if properly used, can have a significant impact on the mental health of many people around the world. In most countries, however, there is still a serious lack of will to create appropriate physical exercise […]
Prolonged exercise can damage muscles, resulting in pain, swelling and reduced strength. It has been previously shown that whole-body vibration therapy, applied in a standing position on a vibration platform, improves muscle regeneration. In this study, scientists from the University of Physical Education in Kraków (Poland) decided to test the effect of a milder form […]
The aim of presented research of Polish scientists from the University of Physical Education in Krakow and the Vitberg Research and Development Department was to analyze the impact of vibration massage on the process of muscle regeneration [reflected by the maximum force of isometric muscle contractions (Fmax)] after short-term intense physical exercise compared to the […]
