## Abstract Low‐amplitude, whole‐body vibration (WBV) may be anabolic for bone. Animal studies of WBV have not evaluated skeletal effects in aged animals. We exposed 75 male BALB/c mice (7 month/young‐adult; 22 month/aged) to 5 weeks of daily WBV (15 min/day, 5 day/wk; 90 Hz sine wave) at accelerat

## Abstract Whole‐body vibration (WBV) is a low‐magnitude mechanical stimulus that may be anabolic for bone, yet we recently found that WBV did not improve bone properties in adult mice. Because intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) enhances the anabolic effects of high‐magnitude skeletal loading,
The power absorbed by 12 male subjects during exposure to vertical whole-body vibration at six magnitudes of random vibration (0•25, 0•5, 1•0, 1•5, 2•0 and 2•5 ms -2 r.m.s.) has been measured in the laboratory. All subjects showed greatest absorbed power at about 5 Hz, but the frequency of this peak
