Summary

To show the effect of whole-body vibration in physical performance in patients with renal dialysis.

Detailed description

By now, safety and efficacy of WBV has not been investigated in patients with ESRD. Therefore, we performed this exploratory study in hemodialysis patients in order to elucidate potential effects of whole-body vibration exercise on physical performance and various biochemical markers in this condition. WBV is extensively studied as a means to prevent microgravity and immobility associated muscle wasting and bone loss in space flight and it is getting increasingly popular even among elderly. Whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE) is a novel exercise protocol designed to prevent the loss of muscle strength and bone mineralization during the immobility and weightlessness of space flight. A situation similar to HD. Vibration exercise uses high-frequency vibration of muscle groups causing positive feedback of the spinal reflex arc and resulting in high levels of muscle contraction to motor unit recruitment. There can be multiple physiological benefits from vibration exercise, including cardiovascular effects, bone health and muscle strength. The advantages of WBV result from the combination of hardly any physical stress for the participants, short duration of intervention and a comparatively high effectiveness. means of exercise that can also be offered to those patients unable or unwilling to perform conventional training.

DEVICE	whole body vibration	Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a training method that uses mechanical vibration and external resistance loading to stimulate the body, causing muscle vibration and increasing central nervous system adaptations (Rittweger, 2010).
