- •
Whole-body vibration increased the activity of major leg muscle groups in elderly adults.
- •
The muscle activity induced is greatest in erect standing and single-leg standing.
- •
Low-intensity whole-body vibration activates leg muscles as effectively as high-intensity whole-body vibration.
- •
Low-intensity whole-body vibration may be a useful adjunct intervention for frail elderly adults.
