40 subjects engaged in low (LO) vs high (HI) amplitude for 10 cycles of WBV [1 cycle =1 min of vibration followed by 30 s of rest], while gastrocnemius muscle oxygen consumption (mVO2) was assessed using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Blood samples were collected PRE, POST, 1H, 3Hs, and 24H post-WBV and analyzed for insulin, glucose, and IL-6
Results
Results
-
Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistant (HOMA-IR) at 3 h was significantly lower compared to PRE (p = 0.018), POST (p = 0.045), 1H (p = 0.010), and 24H (p < 0.001)
-
At 24H, HOMA-IR was significantly lower in the LO group than the HI group (LO p = 0.030). mVO2 was higher (p = 0.003) in the LO than the HI group.
-
Acute whole-body vibration alters glucose metabolism and myokine responses, both of which may reduce the risks of metabolic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome
-
Demonstrated a significant reduction in blood glucose in response to acute WBV that was independent of the exercising amplitude
-
Low-workload WBV can elicit metabolic and skeletal muscle improvements and may represent a novel method to reduce the risk of metabolic diseases by improving muscle oxygen consumption and glucose metabolism
