Article Synopsis
- This systematic review examined how whole body vibration (WBV) exercise can help manage health issues related to cancer therapies by analyzing studies published until February 2017.
- Four studies were reviewed, focusing on various cancer types, with two studies rated as having high evidence and methodological quality, exploring outcomes like muscle strength and quality of life.
- While WBV exercise shows promise for alleviating cancer-related symptoms, more research is needed to establish specific exercise protocols for different disease stages.
Whole body vibration (WBV) has been recognized as an effective alternative exercise modality to resistance exercise for its ability in enhancing force and power, generating capacity in skeletal muscle, increasing bone mass and improving cardiovascular function. Since the effect of WBV exercises on growth hormone (GH) levels has been never compared and discussed, the aim of this study was to review systematically the literature to verify the WBV effects on GH concentration. By using PubMed, Scopus and PEDRo databases with the keywords 'growth hormone' or GH and 'whole body vibration' or WBV, we found and analysed 12 papers (182 subjects recruited), verifying their level of evidence (National Health and Medical Research Council hierarchy of evidence) and the methodological quality (PEDRo scale).

Background: The use of surface electromyography (sEMG) to evaluate muscle activation when executing whole body vibration exercises (WBVE) in studies provide neuromuscular findings, in healthy and diseased populations.
Objectives: Perform a systematic review of the effects of WBVE by sEMG of lower limbs in non-healthy populations.
Methods: The search using the defined keywords was performed in PubMed, PEDRo and EMBASE databases by three independent researchers.
The consequences of treatment involving the use of a natural product and whole body vibration (WBV) exercise have been investigated. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of the joint treatment with an aqueous extract of and WBV on physiological parameters in rats. Wistar rats (=20) were divided equally into four groups: control group (CG), treated with (CHE) group, exposed to 50 Hz of mechanial vibration (VBR), and treated with and exposed to 50 Hz of mechanical vibration (VBR + CHE) daily for 6 weeks.

Background: Whole body vibration (WBV) exercise has been used in health sciences. Authors have reported that changes on the concentration of plasma biomarkers could be associated with the WBV effects. The aim of this investigation is to assess the consequences of exposition of 25 Hz mechanical vibration generated in oscillating/vibratory platform (OVP) on the concentration of some plasma biomarkers and on the weight of rats.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the action of vibration (10 Hz) of WBVE on the concentration of blood biomarkers in Wistar rats.
Materials And Methods: Wistar rats were divided in 2 groups.
