Overall, the evolution of VPT cubes showed a decreasing trend in the WBV group with respect to Placebo group, suggesting that this parameter could behave according to the principles of training derived from the Theory of General Adaptation Syndrome described by Selye[ 20 ].

The sustained effects of whole-body vibration treatment and resistance exercise are comparable, which both produce a significant gain of muscle strength although a decreasing trend was noticed during the detraining period[ 13 - 15 ].

On the other hand, when considering the full set (RM13), a decreasing trend (with the number of meioses/generations) was indeed found ( Table 1 , Fig 2 ).

However, responsiveness to object-related vocal ( F (1, 22) = 0.03, p = 0.87, η 2 = 0.001) and dyadic non-vocal ( F (1, 22) = 2.39, p = 0.14, η 2 = 0.10) behaviors was not significantly different, although there was a decreasing trend for dyadic non-vocal behaviors ( Fig. 1 ).

The levels of lipid hydroperoxide, an early stage lipid peroxidation marker, showed a decreasing trend along the spectrum of risk for BD-I, while there was no difference in the late stage lipid peroxidation markers (4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, 8-isoprostane), protein carbonyls, and inflammatory markers among groups [ 90 ].
