Obesity is associated with early cardiovascular dysfunction and reduced muscle strength. Whole-body vibration (WBV) training may improve arterial function and muscle strength. The effects of WBV training on arterial stiffness (brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, baPWV), wave reflection (augmentation index, AIx), brachial systolic blood pressure (bSBP), aortic systolic blood pressure (aSBP), heart rate variability, and muscle strength (one-repetition maximum, 1RM) were examined in 10 young (21+/-2 year) overweight/obese women (body mass index, BMI=29.9+/-0.8 kgm(-2)). Participants were randomized to a 6-week WBV training or non-exercising control (CON) period in a crossover design. WBV training (3 days x week) consisted of static and dynamic squats and calf raises with vibration intensity at 25-30 Hz and 1-2mm amplitude (2.83-4.86 G). There were significant (P
