Download or read book Manual of Vibration Exercise and Vibration Therapy written by Jörn Rittweger and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-23 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the practical aspects of vibration exercise and vibration therapy. In addition, it describes the technical and physiological background, providing applied scientists and doctors with a deeper understanding of the therapeutic potential that vibration exercise holds. Having first emerged two decades ago, vibration exercise has since established itself as a widespread form of physical exercise, used in all rehabilitation areas. The goal of this book is to close the gap between scientific knowledge and practice. Given that occupational exposure to vibration leads to well-known unfavorable effects, the book is also dedicated to potential risks, hazards and contra-indications and of course, the application of vibration therapy in a number of specific conditions is presented in a clinically usable fashion. Given its breadth of coverage, this book will be of interest to physiotherapists and exercise scientists, but also to a wider range of physicians working in the field of rehabilitation.

Book excerpt: Arterial stiffness increases cardiovascular disease risk for stroke, myocardial infarction, and mortality. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of resistance exercise intensity on arterial stiffness and blood pressure. Two resistance exercise conditions, low and high intensity, were compared. In a longitudinal, cross-over study design, thirty-two subjects (n=32, 17 male, mean age= 24.6) completed both conditions on separate days. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was used as a measure of central and peripheral arterial stiffness at baseline, at 15 minutes post, and at 30 minutes post exercise. Central PWV increased in the low mode and returned toward baseline at 30 minutes post-exercise (p

This book was released on 2016 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The study was designed to determine the effect of moderate intensity resistance exercise on arterial stiffness with and without the Valsalva maneuver. Subjects {N = 13) consisted of males between 18-30 years old who were familiar with resistance training. All subjects completed one session of moderate intensity resistance exercise (60% of 1-RM) with the Valsalva maneuver, and a second session without the Valsalva maneuver in a counterbalanced order. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was used to measure arterial stiffness before exercise, 10 min post, 30 min post, and 60 min postexercise. No significant interaction F(3,36) = 0.74, p = .54 was found between the condition of Valsalva maneuver, or no Valsalva maneuver, and the test occasion. No significant main effect F(l,12) = 0.02, p = .89 was found for the treatment condition of Valsalva maneuver and no Valsalva maneuver. Also, no significant main effect F(1.96, 23.57) = 0.18, p = .84 was found for test occasion (preexercise, 10 min post, 30 min post, and 60 min postexercise). Moderate intensity resistance exercise with and without the Valsalva maneuver did not negatively affect arterial stiffness.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Elevated arterial stiffness has been recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has been associated with long-term worse clinical outcomes in several populations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gender and time following one acute bout of moderate intensity resistance exercise on arterial stiffness in college-aged men and women. A total of 26 men (n = 14) and women (n = 12) completed three sessions: screening, familiarization, and testing in the order they are listed. There were no changes in pulse wave velocity or augmentation index in either men or women across time. Men did have significantly higher systolic blood pressure at baseline (p = .00, d =1.4), immediately post exercise (p = .01, d = 1.0) and 30 minutes post exercise (p = .04, d = .08) relative to women. Men also had significantly higher heart rates immediately post exercise (p = .02, d = 0.9) and 30 minutes post exercise (p = .04, p = 0.9) when compared to women. The lack of change in parameters of arterial stiffness suggest moderate intensity exercise does not increase arterial stiffness in college-aged adults.
Download or read book Effects of Whole Body Vibration and Progressive Resistance Exercise on Balance and Lower Extremity Strength written by Nathan Dodge and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whole body vibration (WBV) is widely used as a mechanical stimulus for neuromuscular training, and to a lesser extent, in the treatment of patients undergoing physical rehabilitation. PURPOSE: To quantify any beneficial and/or synergistic effects associated with the longitudinal administration of WBV and progressive resistance (PRE) exercise on lower extremity strength development and postural stability. METHODS: We recruited 30 physically-active men (age, 22.2±3.2 yrs; hgt, 178.9±6.1 cm; mass, 75.8±7.2 kg) who had not participated in resistance training activities during the past 3 months and had no history of lower extremity injury. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: WBV = PRE squat exercises with WBV (n=10); NO WBV = PRE squat exercises without WBV (n=10), or CONTROL (n=10). For those in the WBV and NO WBV groups, the experimental treatment consisted of 24 sessions of progressively-loaded squat exercises (3 sessions per week x 8 weeks) using weighted vests. A computerized posturography device was used to administer the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB) that quantified sway velocity. An isokinetic dynamometer was used to obtain concentric and eccentric peak torque values at 60°/sec, 120°/sec and 180°/sec during a unilateral, closed kinetic chain (CKC) leg press. All groups were tested at entry (Week 0), midpoint (Week 4), and upon conclusion of the study (Week 8). RESULTS: The mCTSIB scores (foam box/eyes open condition) were significantly better in the WBV group compared to CONTROL when measured at Week 4 (WBV = 0.46±0.01°/sec, CONTROL = 0.56±0.01°/sec; p=0.004) and at Week 8 (WBV = 0.49±0.01°/sec, CONTROL = 0.55±0.12°/sec; p=0.036). For the right limb, concentric leg press peak torques (normalized to Nm/kg body mass) increased at 60o/sec from 0.84±0.43 Nm/kg at Week 0 to 1.10±0.47 Nm/kg at Week 8 (p=0.03), and at 180°/sec from 0.82±0.37 Nm/kg at Week 0 to 1.03±0.36 Nm/kg at Week 8 (p=0.018). There were no significant Group differences observed for any of the CKC leg press measures (p> 0.05). CONCLUSION: While the 8-week training protocol was shown to be an effective means of improving both postural stability and isokinetic leg press strength, long-term exposure to WBV did not enhance lower extremity strength acquisition among the participants.

Book excerpt: Abstract: POSTPRANDIAL ARTERIAL STIFFNESS The purpose was to examine the effects of acute resistance exercise (RE) on postprandial arterial stiffness and wave reflection. Nine strength-trained males (age 24 ± 6.2 yrs) completed a control (CS) and exercise testing session (ES) In ES, RE (4 X 5 repetitions of squat, bench press, deadlift, barbell row at 75-80% l-RM) was performed two hrs after meal intake (440 kcal; 43% carbohydrate, 45% fat, 12% protein) . Central pulse wave velocity (carotid-femoral PWV) and radial artery pulse wave analysis derivatives [central augmentation pressure (AP) and augmentation index (AIx)] were assessed at baseline, immediately post, and at hrs 1, 2., 3, and 4 after meal intake using the SphygmoCor device and software.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current scientific evidence suggests that when whole body vibration (WBV) is used as a warm-up prior to performing eccentric exercise, delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is mitigated and strength loss recovers faster. These benefits were observed primarily in nonresistance-trained individuals. The aim of this study was to determine if WBV could mitigate soreness and expedite strength recovery for resistance-trained individuals when used as a warm-up prior to eccentric exercise. Thirty resistance-trained males completed 300 maximal eccentric contractions of the quadriceps after warming up with (WBV) or without (CON) WBV. Both CON and WBV experienced significant isometric (27.8% and 30.5%, respectively) and dynamic (52.2% and 47.1%, respectively) strength loss immediately postexercise. Isometric strength was significantly depressed after 24 hours in the CON group (9.36% p

Download or read book Effects of Acute Synchronous Whole body Vibration Exercise written by Tom J. Hazell and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise has been gaining interest in the health/fitness community for its reported beneficial outcomes. However, most of these have not been evaluated scientifically leading to some reservation in promoting this new exercise modality. The purpose of this dissertation was to assess the viability of WBV exercise to enhance several selected indices of health. Study 1 demonstrated that the addition of WBV to an isometric semi-squat in young healthy men (n = 8, 25±2.6 y, 177±7.0 cm, 84±12.1 kg) resulted in increases in femoral artery blood flow and leg skin temperature vs the same exercise without vibration (NoV). These increases were seen without concomitant elevations in heart rate and mean arterial pressure suggesting WBV exercise may be a viable training modality for many, perhaps even those with compromised cardiovascular function. Study 2 demonstrated WBV exercise resulted in a greater oxygen consumption both during and following (8 and 24 h) the exercise bout compared to NoV in young healthy men (n = 8, during - 26±2.3 y, 180±8.2 cm, 84±10.1 kg and 5 of the same and 3 others following - 26±3.0 y, 179±8.3 cm, 85±7.3 kg). These increases in oxygen consumed suggest WBV exercise could be a viable training method to induce positive body composition changes with chronic exposure. Study 3 demonstrated that neither an acute bout of WBV nor NoV exercise caused a significant effect on muscle function, soreness, or inflammation in young healthy men (n = 10, 25±3.5 y, 179±7.2 cm, 81±7.9 kg). These data suggest WBV has no significant deleterious effects on muscle. Study 4 demonstrated that both the WBV and NoV exercise sessions improved insulin sensitivity in young healthy men (n=8, 27±2.4 y, 179±7.7 cm, 83±10.6 kg). These results suggest WBV may be an effective exercise mode for individuals with impaired glucose tolerance or even diabetes. Together these studies demonstrate significant potential health benefit of acute synchronous whole-body vibration exercise and illustrate a need for future mechanistic work determining how exposure to these high frequency low amplitude oscillations produce these benefits.
