The study involved 63 males. The subjects were divided into two groups: standard\u2014ST (27) and with vibration training\u2014ST + WBV (36). All the subjects had undergone angioplasty with stent implantation. The standard and with vibration training group carried out a 24-day improvement program comprising 22 training units. Each session consisted of endurance, general stamina, and resistance training. Instead of resistance training, the experimental group performed exercises on the vibration platform. Statistically significant changes in both groups were observed in the parameters of the echocardiographic exercise test, such as test duration (p &lt; 0.001), distance covered (p &lt; 0.001), MET (p &lt; 0.001), VO2max (p &lt; 0.001), and HRrest (p &lt; 0.01). The echocardiographic test revealed significant improvement of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in both groups (ST + WBV group p = 0.024, ST group p = 0.005). There were no statistically significant changes in blood lipid profile and body mass and composition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19063326","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,11]],"date-time":"2022-03-11T12:58:36Z","timestamp":1647003516000},"page":"3326","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The Use of Vibration Training in Men after Myocardial Infarction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Agata","family":"Nowak-Lis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Jerzy Kukuczka\u2019s Academy of Physical Education, 40-065 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8468-2410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zbigniew","family":"Nowak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Jerzy Kukuczka\u2019s Academy of Physical Education, 40-065 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Gabrys","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education and Sport Science, Faculty of Pedagogy, University of West Bohemia, 30100 Pilsen, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Urszula","family":"Szmatlan-Gabrys","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Anathomy, Faculty of Rehabilitation, University of Physical Education, 31-571 Krakow, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2147-1541","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ladislav","family":"Batalik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, University Hospital Brno, 62500 Brno, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, 62500 Brno, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vera","family":"Knappova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education and Sport Science, Faculty of Pedagogy, University of West Bohemia, 30100 Pilsen, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Secondary Prevention through Comprehensive Cardiovascular Rehabilitation: From Knowledge to Implementation. 2020 Update.
