Whole-body vibration (WBV), an intervention for enhancing athletes' exercise performance (muscle strength and power), is often used either as a supplement or an alternative to conventional training. The current systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effects of WBV on exercise performance in athletes. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials published from database inception to April 2024. We analyzed three key components of exercise performance: muscle power (measured in terms of countermovement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ) height), strength (measured in terms of isometric and concentric torque of the knee extensors and flexors), and aerobic cardiovascular endurance (measured in terms of maximal oxygen uptake (VO)). This review included 18 randomized controlled trials. WBV significantly improved concentric torque of the knee extensors and flexors, with effect sizes of 8.86 (95% confidence interval: 6.00 to 11.72; I = 0%; p < 0.00001) and 9.56 (95% confidence interval: 7.40 to 11.72; I = 0%; p < 0.00001), respectively. However, no significant changes were noted in the indicators of muscle power or cardiovascular endurance. Overall, our findings suggest that WBV interventions can enhance lower-limb strength in athletes. However, the quality of the evidence was low. To provide effective evidence-based guidance for WBV, future studies should consider participants' characteristics as well as intervention frequency, intensity, and duration in their analysis.
全身振动（WBV）作为一种提高运动员运动表现（肌肉力量和功率）的干预措施，常被用作传统训练的补充或替代方法。本系统评价和荟萃分析评估了WBV对运动员运动表现的影响。检索了PubMed、Embase和Cochrane图书馆数据库，以查找从数据库建立至2024年4月发表的相关随机对照试验。我们分析了运动表现的三个关键组成部分：肌肉功率（以反向纵跳（CMJ）和深蹲跳（SJ）高度衡量）、力量（以膝关节伸肌和屈肌的等长和向心扭矩衡量）以及有氧心血管耐力（以最大摄氧量（VO）衡量）。本评价纳入了18项随机对照试验。WBV显著改善了膝关节伸肌和屈肌的向心扭矩，效应大小分别为8.86（95%置信区间：6.00至11.72；I² = 0%；p < 0.00001）和9.56（95%置信区间：7.40至11.72；I² = 0%；p < 0.00001）。然而，肌肉功率或心血管耐力指标未发现显著变化。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，WBV干预可增强运动员的下肢力量。然而，证据质量较低。为了为WBV提供有效的循证指导，未来的研究在分析时应考虑参与者的特征以及干预频率、强度和持续时间。
