Abstract: BACKGROUND: Whole-body vibration training has been widely applied in various fields, including sports performance, rehabilitation medicine, and health management. 
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a visual analysis of domestic and international research on whole-body vibration training methods using CiteSpace software, in order to reveal the research progress, key issues, and future development trends in this field.
METHODS: Literature regarding whole-body vibration was selected from the CNKI and Web of Science databases from 2000 to 2024. CiteSpace V (6.2.R6) software was used to visualize the trends in publication, collaboration networks, keyword clustering, and research hotspots.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 661 Chinese articles and 1 005 English articles were included. Both domestic and international whole-body vibration research has shown a yearly growth trend. Domestic studies primarily focus on the effects of vibration training on sports performance and rehabilitation, especially for the elderly, athletes, and patients with specific diseases. International studies, on the other hand, emphasize the effects of whole-body vibration on neuromuscular function, metabolic syndrome, and the rehabilitation of chronic disease patients. The key research topics in domestic studies center around vibration frequency, vibration training, and vibration therapy, while international studies focus more on postural control, muscle strength, and the comprehensive effects of whole-body vibration. Finally, future research on whole-body vibration should strengthen international collaboration, optimize training parameters, and explore personalized applications for different populations, in order to promote the widespread application of whole-body vibration technology in sports, rehabilitation, and health management.
