The fact that WBVT devices produce frequencies, amplitudes, and/or modes of vibration that are different from preset adjustments can obstruct research and practise in whole body vibration training (WBVT). Based on the available research, it can be concluded that major divergences between the preset frequency and the real applied frequency in WBVT devices used in practise and experimental research are to be predicted, but not divergences about the mode of vibration. There were no published research findings on possible divergences of the currently applied amplitude found in the available literature. It would be difficult to determine the most suitable set of frequencies for particular study intentions where there are divergences of more than 10%. In reality, divergences of more than 10% will result in presumed successful WBVT training parameters failing to change a patient's pathology or produce predicted training outcomes in athletes and healthy people. As a result, an inexactly applied frequency may be a factor in the ineffectiveness of a WBVT interference. Based on these findings, users in practise and study should thoroughly examine their WBVT systems in terms of applied frequency and mode of vibration. Divergences in the currently applied amplitude and potential causes of divergences in WBVT devices should be investigated in future studies.
INTRODUCTION
WBVT (whole body vibration training) is a common topic of scientific study and is widely used in mass exercise, professional sports, and therapy. The length of each training session, the pace, the amplitude, and the body posture, as well as activities conducted on the platform, all influence the strength of WBVT. Both training parameters and their interactions provide a particular workout stimulation, which influences the exercise's impact. The fact that WBVT devices produce and transmit frequencies, amplitudes, and/or modes of vibration that are different from preset adjustments can significantly impede research on this subject. Today, it is thought that a frequency divergence of up to 10% or more occurs on a daily basis, and that this divergence can be enhanced by filling certain devices with consumers. A tri-axial accelerometer can quickly determine the real applied frequency and mode of vibration. These discrepancies are thought to be caused by different drives between suppliers and system models, the rigidity of the components used, and potential software errors. There were no published research findings on possible divergences of the currently applied amplitude found in the available literature. This may be because the amplitude can only be correctly quantified with costly techniques like photogrammetry [1-3].
Conclusion
The need for an accurate assessment of WBVT devices is confirmed by previous study findings, according to the papers reviewed in this narrative analysis, which can draw the attention of scientists, academics, and users in practise. This could lead to more significant findings in future research studies and/or make WBVT more reliable and secure in operation. Before using WBVT devices in practise or testing, it is highly advised that they be thoroughly examined. Manufacturers of WBVT instruments, on the other hand, should inspect each product for accuracy before shipping it. They may also consider potential influence conditions of the interface between the floor and the unit, perhaps by an on-site review and detailed individual steps, despite the fact that such considerations did not seem to be particularly important.
