We aimed to clarify whether a short-term whole body vibration (WBV) training has a beneficial effect on physical fitness in elderly people. Forty-nine non-institutionalized elderly (75.0 ± 4.7 years) participated in the study. Twenty-four of them trained on a vibration platform for 11 weeks. Physical fitness included balance, lower- and upper-body strength and flexibility, agility, walking speed and endurance. In the WBV group most of the physical tests improved through the intervention (all P < 0.01) while in the control group only an increment was detected in lower-body strength (P < 0.05). In conclusion, a short-term WBV training is beneficial for physical fitness among elderly people.
我们旨在阐明短期全身振动（WBV）训练对老年人身体健康是否具有有益影响。49名非机构养老的老年人（75.0±4.7岁）参与了该研究。其中24人在振动平台上训练了11周。身体健康指标包括平衡能力、下肢和上肢力量与灵活性、敏捷性、步行速度和耐力。在WBV组中，大多数身体测试指标通过干预得到改善（所有P<0.01），而在对照组中，仅下肢力量有所增加（P<0.05）。总之，短期WBV训练对老年人的身体健康有益。
