Randomised study of children with obesity showed that whole body vibration reduced sclerostin
Acta Pediatrica Aug 09, 2018
Tubic B, et al. - This randomized, prospective, controlled study evaluated children with obesity and the impact of whole body vibration (WBV) on biochemical markers of energy and bone metabolism, anthropometric measurements, muscle parameters and calcaneal bone mineral density (BMD) by analyzing data of 30 children with a median age of 13 years (range 7-17) at Queen Silvia Children's Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden from 2013-2015. In children with obesity, WBV did not affect most of the clinical parameters. As per data, it did reduce sclerostin, which indicates that it had direct impact on osteocytes, which play an important role in bone mechanotransduction.
