Randomized controlled trial of whole body vibration training on lower limb muscle strength in sub elite short track speed skaters.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This randomized controlled trial aimed to examine the effects of whole-body vibration training (WBVT) at different frequencies on lower-limb muscular strength in sub-elite short-track speed skaters. This study employed a randomized controlled trial methodology. Subsequent to the screening process, a total of 75 male sub-elite short track speed skaters were selected from the Shenyang Sport University. Participants were randomly allocated to one of three groups (n = 25 per group): 30 Hz WBVT, 50 Hz WBVT, or a non-vibration control group. The intervention was administered twice weekly for four weeks, with three groups participating on each occasion. The intervention lasted four weeks, with an amplitude of 2 mm. Each session comprised 30 s of whole-body vibration training. The control group comprised 25 participants who performed the same duration and posture of semi-squatting movement on the vibration platform, but without additional vibration stimulation. Maximal strength, rapid force, and muscular endurance during concentric contractions of the knee flexors and extensors were assessed using an IsoMed 2000 isokinetic dynamometer system pre- and post-intervention. The results indicate that after four weeks of WBVT, significant improvements were observed in knee flexor and extensor strength among sub-elite short-track speed skaters (p < 0.01). A 50 Hz frequency was more effective than 30 Hz (at 2 mm amplitude) in enhancing maximal and power, particularly for bilateral knee flexors and the left extensor (p < 0.05), and also improved strength endurance, especially in the left knee flexors (p < 0.01).
