Background: Low back pain (LBP) affects about 80% of the population at some time in their lives. Exercise therapy is the most widely used nonsurgical intervention for low back pain in practice. Thus, whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise is becoming increasingly popular in relieving musculoskeletal pain and in improving function. However, the efficacy of WBV exercise is not without dispute for low back pain. This meta-analysis, with its comprehensive and rigorous methodology, will provide better insight into this problem.
Methods: Published articles will be identified using electronic searches from 1950 to 2018. The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL-Ebsco, PEDro, and China Biology Medicine will be searched for randomized controlled trials. Studies without a parallel comparison group will be excluded. Two reviewers will independently select relevant studies that investigate on WBV exercise for patients with LBP. Data extraction will be done independently by the same 2 reviewers who selected the studies. The primary outcome will be to assess pain, back-specific disability index, and adverse effect. Continuous data will be pooled by calculating the mean difference using the random-effects model.
Results: The results of the final meta-analysis will provide an evidence of WBV exercise for low back pain.
Conclusion: This meta-analysis will provide a detailed summary of the evidence on the effects of WBV exercise on patients with LBP, in comparison with general exercise or without treatment. This review will benefit to researchers and policy makers who are interested in the treatment of LBP by WBV exercise.

Background/objectives: This study investigated the impacts of a 12-week training program on kinetic parameters during landings in non-professional recreational athletes.
Methods: Fifty-seven non-elite recreational athletes performed three unilateral-landing trials from a 30 cm high structure on a force platform. The following outcome measures were analyzed: the ground reaction forces at initial ground contact (PF1) and the highest value (PF2), impulse (change in the moment of force during landing), stabilization time, and ankle and knee accelerations.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a type of bone disease with bone loss and deterioration of skeletal function that occurs in women after menopause. Studies have found that early-life exercise can reduce the risk of fractures and decrease the occurrence of osteoporosis, making it a promising approach for preventing and reversing bone loss. In this study, to identify the optimal forms of exercise during early life to optimize bone health and provide suggestions for promoting bone health through exercise training during early life, we conducted different forms of exercise interventions including ladder climbing, treadmill running, combined training, and whole-body vibration (WBV) on adolescent mice for 8 weeks and observed the accumulation of bone mass and arrangement of bone microstructure in adult mice.

Background: Whole-body vibration (WBV) training has emerged as an alternative exercise modality for individuals unable to participate in regular physical activity. While previous studies demonstrated positive effects of WBV on physical outcomes, its impact on cognition remains relatively unexplored, despite studies suggesting cognitive benefits. This study aims to investigate the cortical activation patterns in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during WBV and a subsequent cognitive task.
