Severely affected patients are referred to intensive care units (ICUs), limiting their possibilities for physical exercise. Whole body vibration (WBV) exercise is a non-invasive, physical therapy, that has been suggested as part of the procedures involved with pulmonary rehabilitation, even in ICU settings. Therefore, in the current review, the World Association of Vibration Exercise Experts (WAVEX) reviewed the potential of WBV exercise as a useful and safe intervention for the management of infected individuals with COVID-19 by mitigating the inactivity-related declines in physical condition and reducing the time in ICU. Recommendations regarding the reduction of fatigue and the risk of dyspnea, the improvement of the inflammatory and redox status favoring cellular homeostasis and the overall improvement in the quality of life are provided. Finally, practical applications for the use of this paradigm leading to a better prognosis in bed bound and ICU-bound subjects is proposed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17103650","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,22]],"date-time":"2020-05-22T10:18:18Z","timestamp":1590142698000},"page":"3650","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Potential Application of Whole Body Vibration Exercise for Improving the Clinical Conditions of COVID-19 Infected Individuals: A Narrative Review from the World Association of Vibration Exercise Experts (WAVex) Panel"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9969-9573","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Borja","family":"Sa\u00f1udo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Educaci\u00f3n F\u00edsica y Deporte, Universidad de Sevilla, 41013 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6563-8246","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ad\u00e9rito","family":"Seixas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escola Superior de Sa\u00fade, Universidade Fernando Pessoa, 4200-253 Porto, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2741-2748","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rainer","family":"Gloeckl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Pulmonary Rehabilitation Research, Schoen Klinik Berchtesgadener Land, 83471 Schoenau am Koenigssee, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Rehabilitation, Philipps\u2013University of Marburg, German Center for Lung Research (DZL), 35037 Marburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00f6rn","family":"Rittweger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Aerospace Medicine, German Aerospace Center (DLR), 51147 Cologne, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, University of Cologne, D50931 Cologne, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rainer","family":"Rawer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Head of Research &amp;
