The decorin and myostatin response to acute whole body vibration: impact of adiposity, sex, and race
Authors' conclusion
A single bout of WBV can facilitate the release of decorin and myostatin into circulation, a similar response to traditional exercise. Additionally, adiposity, sex and race should be considered when evaluating the myokines response to WBV.
Study context
- Population
- Adults (32.8 ± 0.4 years, 66.7% female, 53.5% non-Hispanic Black) from an ongoing longitudinal twin cohort parent study
- Participants
- 129 adults
- Comparison
- Pre vs post acute whole body vibration (WBV); OB vs NW/OW
- Outcome
- Circulating decorin and myostatin response to acute WBV
- Follow-up
- PRE, POST, 1H, 3H and 24H post WBV
Methodological detailsacute single-bout exposure, nested in longitudinal twin cohort, WBV protocol: 10 cycles of 1 min vibration exercise followed by 30 s standing rest
