The effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) on flexibility and muscle stiffness are focused areas of research. Many studies have been performed over a large range of vibratory conditions and have reported varied results on effectiveness. When reviewing the published literature, it is difficult to track the vibration parameters that have positive effects and which have negative or no effects. In writing this paper, over 80 articles were evaluated, 24 of which met the inclusion requirements. The data gathered in the articles were used to develop charts that illustrate the vibration conditions that elicit helpful, harmful, and no effects on flexibility and muscle stiffness. A combination of published data shows that acceleration is the best metric to predict the effectiveness of WBV for improving flexibility and muscle stiffness. This review shows that acceleration in the range of 5g to 10g was most effective in increasing flexibility. Published data on muscle and tendon stiffness are limited, but shows that although WBV is generally significantly less effective in increasing stiffness than increasing flexibility, accelerations below 6.4g were the most effective.
全身振动（WBV）对柔韧性和肌肉僵硬程度的影响是研究的重点领域。许多研究在大范围的振动条件下进行，并报告了关于有效性的不同结果。在查阅已发表的文献时，很难追踪哪些振动参数有积极影响，哪些有消极影响或没有影响。在撰写本文时，评估了80多篇文章，其中24篇符合纳入要求。文章中收集的数据用于制作图表，以说明对柔韧性和肌肉僵硬程度产生有益、有害和无影响的振动条件。综合已发表的数据表明，加速度是预测WBV改善柔韧性和肌肉僵硬程度有效性的最佳指标。这篇综述表明，5g至10g范围内的加速度在增加柔韧性方面最有效。关于肌肉和肌腱僵硬程度的已发表数据有限，但表明尽管WBV在增加僵硬程度方面通常远不如增加柔韧性有效，但低于6.4g的加速度最有效。
