Abstract
WBV is gaining adepts in clinical application on account of the countless benefits arising from its application. The physiological effects that justify its clinical use are diverse. Our purpose was to review the physiological effects of WBV, correlating them with the clinical use of this resource. An analytic literature review of manuscripts was made. Data collection was carried out on data bases using articles published between 2004 and 2019 that addressed the physiological effects and/or the clinical applications of the use of WBV. During low frequency WBV (maximum of 30 Hz) there is an increase in blood flow, Consequently the ventilatory patterns accompany this. It was noted better blood reperfusion in cardiac tissues that had undergone anterior ischemic injury. Biochemical analyzes showed a significant increase in growth hormone (GH) immediately after the end of WBV use, the high levels lasted for 1 h. There was also an improvement in the glycemic status. The mechanical stress offered by the WBV seems to prevent osteoporosis. Vibration training also improved isometric and dynamic muscle strength. WBV acts mainly in the cardiovascular, respiratory and musculoskeletal systems, under neurological and endocrine influence, enhancing organic functioning and cellular activity with many good effects in body.
