Below is a short list of studies done on whole body vibration and the results. Most are very positive and a couple on the list found no affect (see red). I listed these for people who do not want to take the time to read the whole study. More studies are being done everyday and almost all are positive as well as significant One thing I can say for certain Whole Body Vibration is here to stay and is only going to grow in popularity. At the time of this writing we have been using this technology at Jason’s Fitness on a handful of clients for less than two months and the results we have seen has been nothing short of awesome. Jason Greene Jason’s Fitness ■Vibration training is an effective training method to improve maximal strength and flexibility if training equipment is properly designed. (Journal of Biomechanics, April 2005) ■Whole body vibration resulted in an increased activation of leg muscles. (Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research, February 2006) ■Acute whole body vibration training increased vertical jump and flexibility performance in elite female field hockey players. British Journal of Sports Medicine, Volume 39, 2005) ■Whole body vibration over a six-week period produced significant changes in running kinematics and explosive strength. (Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, March 2007) ■Whole body vibration training improved proprioception and balance in athletes who underwent reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament surgery. (British Journal of Sports Medicine, January 2008) ■Combined whole body vibration and conventional resistance training did not increase maximal muscle contraction or performance. (European Journal of Applied Physiology, March, 2006) ■Whole body vibration has the potential to induce strength gain in knee extensors among untrained females to the same extent as traditional resistance training at moderate intensity. (Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, January 2003). ■Whole body vibration is a suitable training method and is as efficient as conventional resistance training in improving knee extension strength and speed of movement in older women. (Journal of the American Geriatric Society, Volume 52, 2004) ■Knee extensor and knee flexor strength are not significantly different between vibration training and control groups. Also, “getaway” out of the blocks, acceleration and top speed were unaffected in sprinters. (International Journal of Sports Medicine, Volume 26, 2005) ■With whole body vibration training, younger fit subjects may not experience gains unless some type of external load is added to the exercise. Whole body vibration has demonstrated gains in flexibility in younger athletic populations. (Current Sports Medicine Reports, May/June 2008)
