- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the mechanical properties and functional adaptability of bone of vibration training in rats. Sixty rats were randomly assigned to four groups: control group, low frequency (25 Hz, 3mm) vibration group, middle frequency (35Hz, 3mm) vibration group, and high frequency (45 Hz, 3mm) vibration group, 15 rats/group. Vibration training was provided to each training group of rats on the Power Plate platform in vertical direction vibration. 5 days/week and 2 times/day for 8 weeks, 15 min/time. After training, the femurs and tibias were taken from rats and tests have been carried out on its mechanical properties. The conclusion showed that the effects on biomechanical properties of femurs and tibias of rats among different vibration frequencies varied widely. The suitable vibration frequency made the bone tissue possess some adaptability, namely the biomechanical characteristics were enhanced, otherwise the unsuitable vibration frequency made the bone tissue damage.
