********CRITIQUES, RULES, AND NOTES********

Be aware of the following rules before posting comments:
- Please do not post summaries of the video in the comments - it damages retention on the video and YouTube is less likely to promote it (these videos cost me a lot of money to produce).

Critiques of my work are welcome! Please be aware of the following notes & rules before submitting critique:

Be mindful that this content is not all encompassing on the subject at hand and is self-limited for brevity to reach a wider audience. Also, be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached.

RULES:
If your comment is rude, you will be banned.
If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, it is unlikely to receive a response.

If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it (thank you!).

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Utilize vibration training to enhance muscle strength in older adults

Vibration training improves muscle strength in healthy and frail older individuals, but evidence is inconclusive for those with sarcopenia or low functionality.

Utilize both high and low magnitude vibration training to enhance muscle strength in older adults

Both high (above 4.4g) and low (below 4.4g) magnitude vibration training appear to be effective for improving muscle strength in older adults.

Incorporate vibration training to enhance muscle strength

While not proven to be superior to resistance training, vibration training is noticeably better for muscle strength than doing nothing at all.

Set vibration device to 2mm displacement at 23Hz for 4.4g G-force

To achieve a G-force of 4.4g, a vibration device can be set to 2 millimeters of displacement at a 23 Hertz frequency.

Utilize low G-forces to enhance strength in older adults

In studies with healthy older individuals, even very low G-forces, such as 0.3g, were still shown to be effective for improving strength.
