Below is a short list of studies done on whole body vibration and the results. Most
are very positive and a couple on the list found no affect (see red). I listed these
for people who do not want to take the time to read the whole study. More studies
are being done everyday and almost all are positive as well as significant.
One thing I can say for certain Whole Body Vibration is here to stay and is only
going to grow in popularity. At the time of this writing we have been using this
technology at Jason’s Fitness on a handful of clients for less than two months and
the results we have seen has been nothing short of awesome.

■Vibration training is an effective training method to improve maximal strength and
flexibility if training equipment is properly designed. (Journal of Biomechanics, April 2005)
■Whole body vibration resulted in an increased activation of leg muscles. (Journal of
Strength & Conditioning Research, February 2006)
■Acute whole body vibration training increased vertical jump and flexibility performance
in elite female field hockey players. British Journal of Sports Medicine, Volume 39, 2005)
■Whole body vibration over a six-week period produced significant changes in running
kinematics and explosive strength. (Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, March 2007)
■Whole body vibration training improved proprioception and balance in athletes who
underwent reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament surgery. (British Journal of Sports
Medicine, January 2008)
■Combined whole body vibration and conventional resistance training did not increase
maximal muscle contraction or performance. (European Journal of Applied Physiology,
March, 2006)
■Whole body vibration has the potential to induce strength gain in knee extensors among
untrained females to the same extent as traditional resistance training at moderate
intensity. (Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, January 2003).
■Whole body vibration is a suitable training method and is as efficient as conventional
resistance training in improving knee extension strength and speed of movement in older
women. (Journal of the American Geriatric Society, Volume 52, 2004)
■Knee extensor and knee flexor strength are not significantly different between vibration
training and control groups. Also, “getaway” out of the blocks, acceleration and top speed
were unaffected in sprinters. (International Journal of Sports Medicine, Volume 26, 2005)
■With whole body vibration training, younger fit subjects may not experience gains unless
some type of external load is added to the exercise. Whole body vibration has demonstrated
gains in flexibility in younger athletic populations. (Current Sports Medicine Reports,
May/June 2008)
