Key result
Whole-body vibration acutely decreased brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity at 20 minutes (1137 to 1107 cm/s) and 40 minutes post-trial in healthy men, with no change observed in the control trial.

Does whole-body vibration acutely decrease arterial stiffness in healthy men?
Whole-body vibration acutely decreases arterial stiffness in healthy men, suggesting it may be a valuable adjunct to exercise training for cardiovascular health.
Otsuki et al. (2008) studied Healthy (n=10). Whole-body vibration vs. Control trial (static squat without vibration) was evaluated on brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). Whole-body vibration acutely decreased brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity at 20 minutes (1137 to 1107 cm/s) and 40 minutes post-trial in healthy men, with no change observed in the control trial.
