The Effects of Single Session Whole-Body Vibration Training Applied at Different Mechanical Vibration Frequencies on Arterial Stiffness and Heart Rate Variability in Hypertensive Patients.
How to use this page
This note summarizes one study record. Check the participants, methods, results, and limitations before applying it to training.
- • Design signal: randomized trial.
- • Population relevance: mixed/unclear athlete specificity.
- • Consistency: single-study evidence.
- • Practical recommendation depends on tolerance, context, and whether it protects training consistency.
ELI5
In plain language
There is limited information about which frequency of the mechanical vibration is more effective in whole-body vibration training in the hypertensive population. (randomized trial; participants).
The abstract doesn’t indicate a clear change in Recovery speed under the tested conditions. Treat this as a signal, not a guarantee; confirm methods and context in the full paper.
Takeaways
What the abstract suggests
- • Study question: There is limited information about which frequency of the mechanical vibration is more effective in whole-body vibration training in the hypertensive population.
- • The abstract doesn’t indicate a clear change in Recovery speed under the tested conditions.
- • Population: participants.
- • Protocol cues (title/abstract): 15 min.
Protocol
Protocol (as reported)
- • Intervention/exposure: heart rate variability.
- • Dose/time/duration cues in abstract/title: 15 min.
- • Outcomes: Recovery speed.
- • Replication note: abstracts often omit adherence and timing; confirm details before changing training or supplementation.
Fit
Who it may help, and who should be cautious
Who it helps
- • Athletes similar to the study population (participants) working on monitoring.
- • Athletes who can measure Recovery speed with a repeatable workout or time-trial effort.
Who should be cautious
- • If you have symptoms or conditions that make the intervention risky, get professional guidance.
- • If you’re near race day and can’t safely test, defer the experiment.
Methods
What the study actually did
- • Design: randomized trial.
- • Population: participants.
- • Outcomes measured: Recovery speed.
- • Protocol cues mentioned: 15 min.
- • Source: PubMed PMID 41087004 (2026) — Journal of aging and physical activity.
Results excerpt
What the abstract reports
“However, there was no significant frequency effect for changes in all variables (p > .05).”
Note: excerpts are short; for full context, read the paper.
Limits
Limitations and bias
- • Abstract-only summaries can miss critical details (population, protocol, adherence, and context).
- • Single studies often don’t generalize to your event, history, and training load; treat results as a starting point.
- • If your context differs (elite vs recreational; cycling vs running), adjust expectations and be conservative.
- • This is performance information, not medical advice.
