Vibration Training and Muscles Properties

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Application dose standards have not yet been determined for Whole Body Vibration Training which is subject to studies with different frequencies and amplitudes. Our objective was to examine acute responses of two different vibration training doses on muscle tone, strength, and flexibility.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Active Comparator: Moderate-intensity group<br>WBVT application was 2-4 mm for vibration amplitude value and 25 Hz for training frequency in moderate-intensity group. | Device: Whole body vibration training<br>* Intermittent whole-body vibration exposure is a training method providing physical stimulation effect on skeletal muscles by increasing gravitational acceleration on the vibration platform.<br>|
| Active Comparator: Vigorous-intensity group<br>WBVT application was 2-4 mm for vibration amplitude value and 40 Hz for training frequency in vigorous-intensity group. | Device: Whole body vibration training<br>* Intermittent whole-body vibration exposure is a training method providing physical stimulation effect on skeletal muscles by increasing gravitational acceleration on the vibration platform.<br>|
