Switzerland20 participantsStarted 2017-12-18

Plain-language summary

Intense itch on the legs sometimes associated with redness can be adverse effects of whole body vibration (WBV) according to own observations and numerous posts in non-professional online-blogs. To the investigators' knowledge, the appearance of itch and/or a rash during WBV exercise has not yet been described. The research objectives are: 1. To determine the effect of WBV on itch rating and its unpleasantness and on skin changes. 2. To determine the effect of WBV on immunoglobulin E (IgE) and serum tryptase
