    Abstract

    PURPOSE:  >

  • Side-alternating vibration has minimal effect on cardiovascular response while doing intense, high-repetition muscle training

    Whole body vibration training is a new and complimentary exercise modality for endurance and strength training in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary heart disease (COPD) and provides safe exercise to improve muscle power, exercise tolerance, reduce symptoms >
