We have no intention in engaging in any actions that can be misunderstood or misconstrued, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Wednesday.

Now, a new study in mice suggests there might be some truth to the idea that a vibrating machine may be able to deliver some of the same benefits as actual physical activity.The new research, published in the journal Endocrinology, found that mice with diabetes and obesity had similar improvements in muscle mass and insulin sensitivity over 12 weeks when they were assigned to either 45 minutes of daily treadmill walking or 20 minutes of daily whole-body vibration. Both groups gained less weight and improved more in overall health than sedentary mice that received neither intervention.Whole-body vibration consists of a person or, in the study case, a mouse sitting, standing or lying on a platform.
