The Use of Vibration in Sports and Health Care
Koutná, Martina ; Stackeová, Daniela (advisor) ; Malá, Jitka (referee)
Title: The Use of Vibration in Sports and Health Care Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine whole-body vibration training as potential training method in sport and health area. The usage of vibration training should increase strength, bone mineral density, and balance. Methods: This diploma thesis is solely theoretical. It is based on review of available literary sources, clinical trials accessible through electronic databases of medical and sports, and library catalogs. The resources from sport, physiology, biomechanics, and various medical disciplines (osteology, physiotherapy, kinesiology) were used also. Results: The research concluded that the usage of whole-body vibration of an appropriate frequency or acceleration respectively could represent an alternative or a supplement to conventional training in order to increase muscle strength and bone mineral density or improve balance and mobility of elderly. The selection of right vibration parameters could support ordinary physical therapy of some neurological disorders. Keywords: vibration, whole-body vibration training, muscle strength, balance, bone mineral density, neurological disorders, physical therapy
Use of vibration in sports and health care

Title: The Use of Vibration in Sports and Health Care Objectives: The aim of this study is to confirm or refute established hypotheses. Hypotheses: 1. The use of vibration loading improves muscle strength. 2. The use of vibration loading improves bone mineral density. 3. The use of vibration loading can influence balance. Methods: This diploma thesis is elaborated as search form. It is based on exploration of available literary sources, clinical trials accessible through electronic databases of medical and sports, and library catalogs. The resources from sport, physiology, biomechanics, and various medical disciplines (osteology, physiotherapy, kinesiology) were used also. Results: Due to retrieval process of whole body vibration training it was found out that this method can improve muscle strength, bone mineral density, balance and mobility. The effect depends on chosen parameters of whole-body vibrations. Under certain conditions whole-body vibration training could represent an alternative or a supplement to conventional training in order to increase muscle strength and bone mineral density or improve balance and mobility of elderly. The selection of right vibration parameters could support ordinary physical therapy of some neurological disorders. Keywords: vibration, whole-body vibration...
The reason and benefits of the practising the Power plate machine
Svozilová, Barbora ; Hráský, Pavel (advisor) ; Pernica, Jan (referee)
Title: The reason and benefits of the practising the Power Plate® machine. Objectives: In this thesis I would like to introduce a vibration machine Power Plate®. In spite of the quite novelty (as the Power Plate® is considered in the Czech republic), is known and very often used, especially in the rest of the western Europe and United States. The Power Plate company, as one of the producers of products based on the technology of mediating the whole body vibration training to the human body, presents a lot of the benefits gained from the WBVT. Not all of these effects are fully confirmed by the medical research, however large majority of the presented effects have been already confirmed. Therefore I will try to confirm mainly the positive effects of this machine by the publishing the conclusions of the researches, done by the particular institutions. In the practical part of my thesis I will publish the questionnaire done in the wellness studio Bel Corpo in Prague - Barrandov by the clients who regularly use the Power Plate machine. The questionnaire was done for to compare the benefits which Power Plate organisation points out and the real results of the clients who use the Power Plate machine. The schedule of the questions will be mentioned in encloses. Encloses will also contain all the types of...
