| Abstract |
| Introduction: The Bodyblade is an oscillatory resistance training device that produces rapid, controlled vibrations to simultaneously activate the stabilizing muscles of the shoulder and the core. This review aimed to summarize and analyze current scientific evidence regarding the effects of Bodyblade exercises on core stability, neuromuscular coordination, and shoulder performance. Methods: Six peer-reviewed studies published between 2007 and 2023 were analyzed, including the works of Lister, Parry, Kang, Moreside, Oliver, and Pulido. Electromyographic (EMG) analyses and functional performance assessments were employed to determine the effects of Bodyblade exercises on shoulder and trunk musculature. Results: Bodyblade training, compared to traditional resistance methods such as dumbbells or elastic bands, significantly increased the activity of the serratus anterior, upper trapezius, internal oblique, external oblique, and deltoid muscles. Improvements in core stability and postural control were also observed in various exercise positions, such as the quadruped stance. Clinical trials further reported that Bodyblade exercises enhanced balance, movement control, and reduced pain in individuals with anterior shoulder instability. Conclusion: Bodyblade training can be considered a safe, accessible, and effective approach for improving both core stability and shoulder rehabilitation. Adherence to proper technique and progressive intensity is essential to prevent undue spinal stress and to optimize neuromuscular and functional outcomes. |
