Abstract
Research concerning duration effects of whole-body vibration on comfort, performance and physiological and biomechanical reactions is reviewed. It is concluded that there is only weak evidence for the existence of an increasing effects as a function of exposure time. The measures providing some support for such a conclusion have been auditory evoked potentials, biomechanical transmission, EMG and subjective estimates. However, from the research evidence it seems as if the time dependency proposed in the international standard for whole-body vibration, ISO 2631, constitutes an overestimation of the importance of exposure time for the strength of the effects.
