Immune responses (CD4 and CD8) to acute vibration stress.
The aim of the experiments was to observe whether or not there is an immune system reaction to vibration stress. Three vibration frequencies were randomly given to 6 male volunteers. The 63 Hz vibration frequency produced a significant decrease in the ratio of CD4 T-cell to CD8 T-cell. This finding suggests that acute vibration stress suppresses the immune system activity in humans body.
