effects of whole body vibration training on inflammatory markers in young healthy males

Background: the intensity of the vibration load refers to frequency and amplitude. objectives: the present study aimed at reviewing the effects of high and low intensity whole body vibration training on inflamma- tory markers. methods: overall, 30 healthy male patients were divided to three groups, including control (n = 8), high intensity (n = 11), and low intensity (n = 11) groups. training included consecutive weeks, three times each week with low intensity (amplitudes of 2 mm), high intensity (amplitudes of 4 mm), and progressive frequencies. blood samples were analyzed for concentrations of high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hscrp) and fibrinogen before and after completion of training. paired sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance (anova) were used to analyze the research findings (p ≤ 0.05). results: whole body vibration training with low and high intensities had no significant effects on hscrp and fibrinogen levels (p ≥ 0.05). conclusions: it appears that six weeks of low and high intensity vibration training has the same effects on crp and fibrinogen.
