Device Defects in Whole-Body Vibration Training

Suchi Kiranhe

The fact that WBVT devices produce frequencies, amplitudes, and/or modes of vibration that are different from preset adjustments can obstruct research and practise in whole body vibration training (WBVT). Based on the available research, it can be concluded that major divergences between the preset frequency and the real applied frequency in WBVT devices used in practise and experimental research are to be predicted, but not divergences about the mode of vibration. There were no published research findings on possible divergences of the currently applied amplitude found in the available literature. It would be difficult to determine the most suitable set of frequencies for particular study intentions where there are divergences of more than 10%. In reality, divergences of more than 10% will result in presumed successful WBVT training parameters failing to change a patient's pathology or produce predicted training outcomes in athletes and healthy people. As a result, an inexactly applied frequency may be a factor in the ineffectiveness of a WBVT interference. Based on these findings, users in practise and study should thoroughly examine their WBVT systems in terms of applied frequency and mode of vibration. Divergences in the currently applied amplitude and potential causes of divergences in WBVT devices should be investigated in future studies.
