Whole-body-vibration training increases knee-extension strength and speed of movement in older women.

To investigate the effects of 24 weeks of whole-body-vibration (WBV) training on knee-extension strength and speed of movement and on counter-movement jump performance in older women.

Impact of whole-body vibration training versus fitness training on muscle strength and muscle mass in older men: a 1-year randomized controlled trial.

This randomized controlled study investigated the effects of 1-year whole-body vibration (WBV) training on isometric and explosive muscle strength and muscle mass in community-dwelling men older than 60 years.

A comparison of the physiologic effects of acute whole-body vibration exercise in young and older people.

To examine the acute physiologic effects of acute whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise in young and older people.

Whole body vibration versus conventional physiotherapy to improve balance and gait in Parkinson's disease.

To compare the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) and conventional physiotherapy (PT) on levodopa-resistant disturbances of balance and gait in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD).

Effects of whole-body vibration exercise on lower-extremity muscle strength and power in an older population: a randomized clinical trial.

Vibration training is a relatively new exercise intervention. This study investigated the effects of vibration exercise on strength (force-producing capacity) and power in older adults who are healthy.
