Whole body vibration (WBV) is an innovative exercise mimetic that utilizes a vibrating platform to transmit mechanical vibrations throughout the body. WBV has been a popular area of research in recent years due to its potential physiological and therapeutic benefits in both health and disease. The utility of WBV is rooted in the various parameters (i.e., frequency, amplitude, duration) that affect the overall dose of vibration delivered to the body. Each type of WBV, coupled with these aforementioned parameters, should be considered when evaluating the use of WBV in the clinical setting. Thus, the purpose of this review is to provide an overview of recent literature detailing the different types of WBV, the various parameters that contribute to WBV efficacy, and the evidence of WBV in metabolic disease. A systematic search was conducted using Medline, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, and PubMed. All types of study designs were considered, with exclusions made for animal studies, duplicates, and study protocols without data. Thirty-four studies were included. In conclusion, as a modern exercise mimetic with therapeutic potential for metabolic diseases, understanding the interplay between the types and dosing of WBV is critical for determining its utility and efficacy. Further studies are certainly needed to elucidate the full therapeutic potential of WBV in metabolic diseases.
全身振动（WBV）是一种创新的模拟运动，它利用振动平台将机械振动传递至全身。近年来，WBV因其在健康和疾病方面潜在的生理及治疗益处而成为热门研究领域。WBV的效用取决于影响传递至身体的整体振动剂量的各种参数（即频率、振幅、持续时间）。在临床环境中评估WBV的使用时，应考虑每种类型的WBV及其上述参数。因此，本综述的目的是概述近期文献，详细介绍不同类型的WBV、影响WBV疗效的各种参数以及WBV在代谢性疾病中的证据。使用Medline、Embase、Cochrane、CINAHL和PubMed进行了系统检索。考虑了所有类型的研究设计，排除了动物研究、重复研究以及无数据的研究方案。共纳入34项研究。总之，作为一种对代谢性疾病具有治疗潜力的现代模拟运动，了解WBV的类型与剂量之间的相互作用对于确定其效用和疗效至关重要。当然，还需要进一步的研究来阐明WBV在代谢性疾病中的全部治疗潜力。
