The Claim
Six weeks of whole-body vibration training significantly reduces resting heart rate and increases R-R interval variability in obese Hispanic postmenopausal women, indicating enhanced parasympathetic tone and reduced sympathetic dominance.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In obese Hispanic postmenopausal women, six weeks of whole-body vibration training lowers resting heart rate and increases heart rate variability, reflecting greater parasympathetic activity and less sympathetic activity.
See the scientific wording
Whole-body vibration training for six weeks significantly reduces resting heart rate and improves R-R interval variability in obese Hispanic postmenopausal women, indicating enhanced parasympathetic tone and reduced sympathetic dominance.
Standing on a vibrating platform shakes the muscles, which sends signals to the brain that tell the heart to slow down and beat more regularly. This happens because the brain reduces stress signals to the heart and increases calming signals.
What the research says
1 studyAfter standing on a vibrating platform for six weeks, these women’s hearts slowed down a bit and their heartbeats became more varied — both signs their hearts were relaxing better and under less stress.
