Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. In this context, it is well accepted that physical activity plays a critical role as a powerful therapeutic strategy for prevention and progression of cardiovascular disease, both in experimental models and in different clinical situations.,
Whole body vibration training (WBV) is a new intriguing training program. Importantly, if vibration-induced protection is an effective method of exercise, it could be an alternative to exercise training especially for those who are unable to perform the traditional exercise. Therefore, the effects of WVB on different systems, including the cardiovascular system, has been investigated in recent years.
