Observation of Acute Cardiopulmonary Effects in Healthy Individuals Performing Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPX) During Whole Body Vibration (WBV)

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Observational study to evaluate acute cardiopulmonary effects of oscillatory whole body vibration (WBV) on healthy individuals analysed in non-invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX).

Detailed Description
-----------------
Oscillatory whole-body vibration (WBV) is a novel exercise modality, which is performed on a vibrating platform that moves in sinusoidal oscillations, and during which static and dynamic exercises can be performed. Rapid movements of the platform lead to muscle spindle reﬂexes, which result in reﬂectory contraction of muscle groups and thus promote gain of muscle strength and power. The most efﬁcient vibration rate enhancing muscle function is assumed to be ∼20 Hz, leading to constant muscle contraction and anaerobic metabolism of the affected muscle ﬁbres. As a consequence, lactate liberation serves as a stimulus for muscle gain.This methodology has been successfully utilised to enhance moving velocity, muscle power and strength in young athletes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease though not been understood in all details. Therefore this investigation will help to evaluate acute cardiopulmonary effects of whole body vibration (WBV) on healthy individuals analysed in non-invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX).
