BENITEZ, S.; CARILLO DE ALBORNOZ, M.  and  GARCIA ROMERO, J.C.. Endocrine response to the application of Whole-Body Vibration in humans. Rev Andal Med Deporte [online]. 2015, vol.8, n.3, pp.109-114. ISSN 2172-5063.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ramd.2015.04.002.

The physical exercise causes a breakdown of body homeostasis, inducing metabolic, neural and humoral changes in the human body. Hormones play multiple roles at the right inner workings. The Whole Body Vibration (WBV) has become an alternative to regular physical exercise. According to the consulted literature, WBV provokes a hormonal modification that is dependent on the intrinsic characteristics of each intervention protocol. The objective of this review is to compile the most prominent scientific literature on the effects that occur in the Endocrine System (ES) of humans through the use of WBV.

Keywords : Whole Body Vibration; Vibration Exercise; Hormones; Endocrine System.
