Effects of whole body vibration with different frequencies on blood lactate during recovery phase after exhaustive exercise

Occurrence fatigue during exhaustive exercise occurs in response to lactate accumulation in blood and active muscles. This study aimed to determine the effects of whole body vibration with different speeds on blood lactate during the recovery phase after exhaustive exercise.
Sixty trained young males were randomly assigned to 4 groups and performed 15 min vibration with different speeds namely control (non-vibration), mild vibration (10 Hz), moderate vibration (20 Hz) and severe vibration (30 Hz) immediately after Cunningham exhaustive exercise test. Blood lactate concentrations were measured before, immediately and 15 min after exercise test for all 4 groups.
A significant increase was found in blood lactate immediately after exercise compared with baseline for all groups (p0.05). A significant decrease was observed in blood lactate after 15 min recovery in moderate vibration compared with other groups (p Based on these data, it is concluded that whole body vibration can be affects disposal blood lactate during recovery phase after exhaustive exercise and moderate frequency vibration (20 Hz) is the most effective method.
