As apparent from its name, in WBV, the entire body is exposed to vibration, as opposed to local vibration (Biomechanical Stimulation, BMS), where an isolated muscle or muscle group is stimulated by the use of a vibration device. Whole body vibration is implemented through the use of a vibrating platform on which exercises can be performed. The vibrations generated by the motors underneath the platform are transmitted to the person standing on the machine. Although some brand names allow training positions such as sitting or lying on the machine, side effects cannot be excluded. The intensity and the direction of these vibrations are essential for their effect. Different vibration platforms have different vibration characteristics. Not all platforms perform in the same manner, and that is why the results of using them are different. However, like in any training methodology, knowing which training frequency to use will determine the training effect.
