Exercises in whole-body vibration on vibrating platforms: Scientific Interest

The aim of this study was identify the scientific interest, evaluating the number of publications (NP) cited per year in the PubMed about whole body vibration (WBV) isolated and in the association with some clinical application. The searches were performed in PubMed, using the keyword “whole body vibration” alone or in combination with disease or aging. The scientific interest has increased about WBV exercise in last years. A high NP with elderly and low-back pain variables was identified, indicating that vibratory platforms can generate vibrations and the WBV exercises may be an effective intervention for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in trained, untrained individuals as and in elderly. Is necessary to take to those who perform WBV exercises on vibrating platforms due to their individual reactions, because scientific information is still limited.
