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.
