Synchronous whole-body vibration increases VO₂ during and following acute exercise.

Eur J Appl Physiol

February 2012

Exercise Nutrition Research Laboratory, School of Kinesiology, Faculty of Health Sciences, The University of Western Ontario, 2235 3M Centre, London, Ontario, N6A 3K7, Canada.

Single bout whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise has been shown to produce small but significant increases in oxygen consumption (VO(2)). How much more a complete whole-body exercise session (multiple dynamic exercises targeting both upper and lower body muscles) can increase VO(2) is unknown. The purpose of this study was to quantify VO(2) during and for an extended time period (24 h) following a multiple exercise WBV exercise session versus the same session without vibration (NoV).

10 or 30-s sprint interval training bouts enhance both aerobic and anaerobic performance.

Eur J Appl Physiol

September 2010

Exercise Nutrition Research Laboratory, Faculty of Health Sciences, School of Kinesiology, 2235 3M Centre, The University of Western Ontario, London, ON, N6A 3K7, Canada.

We assessed whether 10-s sprint interval training (SIT) bouts with 2 or 4 min recovery periods can improve aerobic and anaerobic performance. Subjects (n = 48) were assigned to one of four groups [exercise time (s):recovery time (min)]: (1) 30:4, (2) 10:4, (3) 10:2 or (4) control (no training). Training was cycling 3 week(-1) for 2 weeks (starting with 4 bouts session(-1), increasing 1 bout every 2 sessions, 6 total).

Vertical whole-body vibration does not increase cardiovascular stress to static semi-squat exercise.

Eur J Appl Physiol

November 2008

Faculty of Health Sciences, Exercise Nutrition Research Laboratory, School of Kinesiology, The University of Western Ontario, 2235 3M Centre, London, ON N6A 3K7, Canada.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of vertical whole-body vibration (WBV) on heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), femoral artery blood flow (FBF), and leg skin temperature (LSk(temp)) during static exercise. These parameters were examined: seated next to the WBV device (passive, unloaded), with feet secured onto the WBV platform (knees 90 degrees flexion) and while standing in a semi-squat position (static, loaded, knees 120 degrees flexion); both with and without WBV. Conditions involved 1 min bouts separated by 1 min rest, repeated 15 times followed by 10 min recovery.
