Whole-body vibration training (WBVT) has been shown to be an extremely useful tool for increasing muscle mass, bone tissue, muscle power, flexibility, and strength, among others. However, to date, there are few studies on the effects of WBVT on energy metabolism and whether this tool could be able to enhance weight loss in addition to a nutritional plan and/or exercise.
The aim of this review is to analyse the most recent studies on vibration training in order to determine whether this method constitutes a reliable complement to programs aimed at weight loss.
An updated literature search was conducted using PubMed, SciELO and SPORTDiscus. In addition, a detailed search was also performed from references given in selected studies.
WBVT appears to be associated with three pathways involved in weight loss: inhibition of adipogenesis and reduction of fat mass, increased energy expenditure, and increase in muscle mass. After analysing the literature, none of the results for the proposed pathways are consistent, and indeed are often contradictory.
Further in-depth research is required on this subject. However, WBVT would appear to be a safe method, and may possibly yield benefits, mainly as regards muscle mass, which in turn might promote weight loss when combined with a nutritional plan and a traditional exercise program.
全身振动训练（WBVT）已被证明是一种极其有用的工具，可用于增加肌肉质量、骨组织、肌肉力量、柔韧性和力量等。然而，迄今为止，关于WBVT对能量代谢的影响以及该工具除营养计划和/或运动外是否能够促进体重减轻的研究很少。
本综述的目的是分析关于振动训练的最新研究，以确定该方法是否构成旨在减肥的计划的可靠补充。
使用PubMed、SciELO和SPORTDiscus进行了最新文献检索。此外，还从选定研究中给出的参考文献进行了详细检索。
WBVT似乎与减肥涉及的三条途径相关：抑制脂肪生成和减少脂肪量、增加能量消耗以及增加肌肉质量。在分析文献后，所提出途径的结果均不一致，实际上往往相互矛盾。
需要对该主题进行进一步深入研究。然而，WBVT似乎是一种安全的方法，并且可能会产生益处，主要是在肌肉质量方面，这反过来可能与营养计划和传统运动计划相结合时促进体重减轻。
