Due to at least economic factors, there is a growing need for effective and simple therapies for the increasingly common musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders, such as in the case of osteoporosis. Vibrotherapy seems extremely promising, at least for some patients, where therapeutic vibration (TV)* is increasingly used to improve bone structure and muscle performance. However, this […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 presented report describes a 52-year-old woman suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy. The patient complained of sleep disturbances, pain and tingling in the feet, and constant stress related to the fear of falling during everyday walking. Since the treatment used did not help significantly, scientists from the University of Medical Sciences […]
In order to increase the level of physical activity, a key strategy in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), whole-body vibration (WBV; a type of vibrotherapy), is increasingly being used. The beneficial effect of WBV on glycemic control and the quality of life with T2DM is described in the number of scientific reports, […]
In type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) the key pathologic factor is the persistence of high blood glucose which causes high blood insulin – the hormone responsible for glucose lowering. This leads to a decrease in insulin sensitivity (insulin resistance). In the prevention and treatment of T2DM, the most important factor is ensuring proper physical activity. […]
Although type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by impaired carbohydrate metabolism with impaired glucose lowering, patients, especially the elderly, are at a risk of the treatment-induced hypoglycaemia. They often suffer also from falls and depressive symptoms. Research shows that exercise training has an extremely positive effect on functional performance, glycemic control and mental well-being […]
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, and insulin resistance is a major contributor to the development of fatty liver disease. Previous studies have shown that treating insulin resistance can be achieved through aerobic or resistive exercise training. However, it is not clear what training protocol could be […]
