Objective: The aim of this study was to verify the influence of 6 weeks of whole-body vibration training on the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-ɣ e TNF-α) in young, eutrophic and sedentary women. Methods: Twenty-six participants were randomly divided into two groups: Vibratory Platform Group (GV, n = 13) and Ergometry Group (GE, n = 13). The training program of both groups was of 20 minutes / session, 3 times per week, in non-consecutive days for 6 weeks. The load of the training was adjusted with the adapted Borg scale. GE was submitted to aerobic activity sessions in a cycle ergometer. GV was submitted to vibration platform stimulation sessions. After training program both groups were submitted to 6 weeks of detraining. Results: GV increased levels of IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-α after training, and it decreased all of them after detraining phase. GE increased IL2, IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10 only after the detraining period. Conclusion: 6 weeks of whole-body vibration training can promote an increase in pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in young, eutrophic and sedentary women, however these effects seem to be transitory as the exercise is discontinued.

Background: Falling is the second leading cause of injury-related death worldwide and is a leading cause of injury among older adults. Whole-body vibration has been used to improve fall risk factors in older adults. No study has assessed if vibration benefits can be retained over time. Objectives: The aims of this study were to examine if six-weeks of whole-body vibration could improve fall risk factors and to assess if benefits associated with the training program could be sustained two months following the final training session. Design and Setting: Repeated measures randomized controlled design. Participants: Twenty-four independent living older adults were recruited and were randomly assigned to the WBV or control group. Intervention: Participants performed three sessions of whole-body vibration training per week with a vibration frequency of 20Hz or with only an audio recording of the vibration noise. An assessment of fall risk factors was performed prior to, immediately following, and two-months after the completion of the training program. Main Outcome Measures: Fall risk factors including functional capacity, mobility, strength, and walking speed were assessed pre-training, post-training, and two-months post-training. Results: Seventeen participants completed the study. No improvements (p<0.05) between groups were found in the measures of physical performance. Conclusions: Findings revealed that six weeks of whole-body vibration is not effective in improving fall risk factors or producing benefits post-training.

Abstract Introduction Whole-body vibration training (WBVT) may benefit individuals with difficulty participating in physical exercise. The objective was to explore the effects of WBVT on circulating stem/progenitor cell (CPC) and cytokine levels. Methods Healthy male subjects each performed three activities randomly on separate days: (1) standing platform vibration, (2) repetitive leg squat exercise; and (3) in combination. Pre- and post-activity blood samples were drawn. Cell populations were characterized using flow cytometry. Biomarkers were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Results CPC levels increased significantly 21% with exercise alone (1465 ± 202–1770 ± 221 cells/mL; P = 0.017) and 33% with vibration alone in younger participants (1918 ± 341–2559 ± 496; P = 0.02). Angiogenic CPCs increased 39% during combined activity in younger (633 ± 128–882 ± 181; P = 0.05). Non-angiogenic CPCs increased 42% with vibration alone in younger (1181 ± 222–1677 ± 342; P = 0.04), but 32% with exercise alone in older participants (801 ± 251–1053 ± 325; P = 0.05). With vibration alone, anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 increased significantly (P &lt; 0.03), although inflammatory interleukin-6 decreased (P = 0.056); tumor necrosis factor-alpha (P &lt; 0.01) and vascular endothelial growth factor levels increased (P &lt; 0.005), which are synergistically pro-angiogenic. Conclusions WBVT may have positive vascular and anti-inflammatory effects. WBVT could augment or serve as an exercise surrogate in warfighters and others who cannot fully participate in exercise programs, having important implications in military health.

AbstractObjective:We describe a case of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo which occurred after use of a whole-body vibration training plate.Method:Case report and literature review concerning the secondary causes of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and the physiological effects of whole-body vibration training plates.Results:A 44-year-old woman was referred with classic symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo following use of a whole-body vibration training plate, a popular form of fitness equipment widely used in sports, rehabilitation and beauty treatments. The condition resolved spontaneously after several days. There have been reports of negative side effects in users of this equipment, such as dizziness, headache and a sensation of imbalance; however, there have been no reported cases involving vertigo. Based on a literature review, this equipment may cause side effects, including vertigo, by generating forces that can increase the original amplitude of internal organs, which may potentially cause labyrinthine trauma or dislocation of otoconia, leading to benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.Conclusions:We suggest that whole-body vibration training plates may potentially induce benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Manufacturers may need to make users of this equipment aware of this risk, and remind them to use it with caution.
