Deviations in frequency and mode of vibration in whole-body vibration training devices with long-term and regular use

Whole body vibration training (WBVT) has frequently been the subject of scientific research in recent times and has been practically applied in mass sports, competitive sports, and therapy [1 –4]. The intensity of WBVT is regulated by the duration of each training session, the frequency, the amplitude, and the body position, as well as the exercises performed using the device [5–7]. One of the most important research aims regarding the use of WBVT has been identifying the ideal compo sition of these exercise parameters and the appropriate mode of vibration for each application [7–9].
