Background: Whole body vibration (WBV) has been reported to exert growth hormone (GH)-
releasing effects in healthy subjects. Despite the potential of WBV to positively affect body
composition changes via lipolytic effects, few studies have been performed in obese
subjects to date. Methods: This study evaluated the acute effects of WBV alone or in
combination with squatting plus external load (WBV+ S) on serum GH levels and blood
lactate concentrations in 7 severely obese women (age 22±5 years; BMI 39.9±2.9 kg/m 2) …
