The Claim
Whole-body vibration training over six weeks has no significant effect on muscle strength or lean mass in obese Hispanic postmenopausal women.
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.
Six weeks of whole-body vibration training does not change muscle strength or lean body mass in obese Hispanic women who are postmenopausal.
See the scientific wording
Whole-body vibration training does not appear to significantly alter muscle strength or lean mass in obese Hispanic postmenopausal women over six weeks, as these were not measured as primary outcomes and no changes were reported in secondary measures.
Standing on a vibrating platform does not create enough force in the muscles to trigger the signals that build new muscle tissue, so muscle strength and size stay the same even after six weeks.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that standing on a vibrating platform for six weeks helped obese postmenopausal women lose body fat but didn’t make their muscles stronger or bigger. So, it’s not a good replacement for lifting weights.
