BACKGROUND
This randomized controlled study investigated the effects of 1-year whole-body vibration (WBV) training on isometric and explosive muscle strength and muscle mass in community-dwelling men… (More)
This randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of a 12 month whole body vibration training program on postural control in healthy older adults. Two hundred and twenty people were randomly… (More)
BACKGROUND
whole body vibration (WBV) training appears to be an efficient alternative for conventional resistance training in older individuals. So far, no data exist about the vibratory effect on… (More)
Falls in the elderly constitute a growing public health problem. This randomized controlled trial investigated the potential benefit of 6 months of whole body vibration (WBV) training and/or vitamin… (More)
PURPOSE
This study focuses on the quantification of genetic and environmental factors in arm strength after high-resistance strength training.
METHODS
Male monozygotic (MZ, N = 25) and dizygotic… (More)
BACKGROUND
Within a country social conditions change over time and these conditions vary from country to country. The associations between these conditions, somatic growth, physical activity and… (More)
The aim of this study was to determine whether high-impact exercises have an osteogenic effect in 21 prepubertal female monozygotic twins aged 8.7 (SD 0.7) years. Bone mineral density (aBMD), bone… (More)
This study explores the associations between polymorphisms in two candidate genes—myostatin gene (MSTN or GDF8) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene—with interindividual differences in human… (More)
Sarcopenia and osteoporosis represent a growing public health problem. We studied the potential benefit of whole-body vibration (WBV) training given a conventional or a high dose of daily vitamin D… (More)
