Whole body vibration training (WBVT) has been considered as a new method of training that resulted in mechanical stimulation of neuromuscular system. Regarding to the high relationship between neuromuscular system efficacy and dynamic balance that it is an avoidable part of daily activity and sports skill, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of whole body vibration training on dynamic balance in male athletic students. Twenty male athletic students from the departments of physical education and sport science of university of Tehran (age: 20.7±1.03 y, weight: 69.25±6.21 kg, height: 174.5±5.05 cm, BMI: 22.58±3.1) participated in this study while they divided in two control and experimental groups. The dynamic balance measured with the star excursion balance test (SEBT) before applying WBVT. Experimental group participated in whole body vibration training for 10 days (frequency 30 Hz, amplitude 10 mm, in five different body position with two minutes vibration each position and 40 seconds rest). The post-test of SEBT done for two groups afterward. MANOVA, a two way repeated measure ANOVA and dependent t test used to analyze the data. Significant differences shown for dynamic balance after WBVT in five excursions (medial, antro-medial, posterior, postro-lateral and postro-medial). Two groups had a significant difference when all excursions compared in a time. An improvement shown in five excursions (medial %4.69, antro-medial %4.3, posterior %8.6, postro-lateral %6.22 and postro-medial %7.9). WBVT could improve dynamic balance specifically in medial, antro-medial, posterior, postro-lateral and postro-medial excursions.
