Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a neuromuscular training method that has recently received popularity in health and fitness centers, as an additional or substitute method to conventional training and therapy, in order to improve muscle strength and power.
The purpose of this review is to critically observe the effect of WBV training on neuromuscular performance in view of its ability to enhance the muscles strength, power, and flexibility; and also to investigate the influence of the different vibration characteristics (viz., method of application of vibration, frequency, and amplitude) and exercise protocols on the effect of this training.
For this review 24 studies or articles were examined, and based on exclusion and inclusion criteria, 5 studies were finally selected; and an attempt was made to uncover the factors influencing the improvement in neuromuscular performance as a result of WBV intervention. During the review, it was considered to include and discuss as many characteristics as possible, such as, knee extension, knee flexion, counter movement jump (CMJ), squat exercise, and jumping height (JH).
Whole-body vibration, along with additional exercise training, has a potential to induce substantial improvement in neuromuscular performance.
Whole-body vibration can bring about improvement in muscles strength, power, and flexibility. The main factors associated with the improvement in muscles performance are range of amplitude and frequency, type of vibration and its method of application, training intensity, exercise protocol, and the characteristics of the participants.
全身振动（WBV）是一种神经肌肉训练方法，最近在健康和健身中心受到欢迎，作为传统训练和治疗的补充或替代方法，以提高肌肉力量和功率。
本综述的目的是批判性地观察全身振动训练对神经肌肉性能的影响，鉴于其增强肌肉力量、功率和灵活性的能力；并研究不同振动特征（即振动应用方法、频率和振幅）和运动方案对该训练效果的影响。
本综述检查了24项研究或文章，并根据排除和纳入标准，最终选择了5项研究；并试图揭示影响全身振动干预后神经肌肉性能改善的因素。在综述过程中，尽可能纳入并讨论了许多特征，如膝关节伸展、膝关节屈曲、反向运动跳跃（CMJ）、深蹲运动和跳跃高度（JH）。
全身振动与额外的运动训练一起，有可能显著改善神经肌肉性能。
全身振动可以改善肌肉力量、功率和灵活性。与肌肉性能改善相关的主要因素是振幅和频率范围、振动类型及其应用方法、训练强度、运动方案和参与者特征。
