Whole-body vibration training improves muscle mass and strength in older adults through intra- and extra-muscular pathways.

ABSTRACT: Sarcopenia, a geriatric syndrome characterized by the age-related loss of muscle mass and function, is increasingly recognized to be a dynamic process and exists bidirectional transitions with both possible worsening or improving transitions. With the rapid growth of aging population, developing effective interventions to delay or prevent the progression of sarcopenia is important and urgent. Recently, growing evidence demonstrated that whole body vibration training (WBVT) could significantly improve muscle mass and/or muscle strength in older adults, and may be a promising approach for elderly adults to treat sarcopenia, but there still exists inconsistent results. To clarify the moderating variables affecting the effectiveness of WBVT on muscle mass and strength, we conducted a comprehen
