This study investigated the effects of 1-year Whole Body Vibration training on isometric and explosive muscle strength and muscle mass in community-dwelling men older than 60 years.
Conclusion: Whole Body Vibration training is as efficient as a fitness program to increase isometric and explosive knee extension strength and muscle mass of the upper leg in community-dwelling older men. These findings suggest that Whole Body Vibration training has potential to prevent or reverse the age-related loss in skeletal muscle mass, referred to as sarcopenia.
