Abstract Upregulation of endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) is the hallmark of various cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The purpose of the present study was to assess the ET‐1 response to an acute bout of whole‐body vibration (WBV) in humans and to determine the role of adiposity. Twenty‐two participants volunteered for the study; they were grouped into overweight/obese [(OW/OB): n = 11, Age: 33 ± 4 years, Body mass index (BMI): 35 ± 10 kg/m2] or normal weight [(NW): n = 11, Age: 28 ± 7 years, BMI: 21 ± 2 kg/m2]. Participants engaged in 10 cycles of WBV exercise (1 cycle = 1 min WBV followed by 30 s of rest). Blood samples were analyzed for ET‐1 pre‐WBV (PRE), immediately post (POST), 1 h (1H), 3 h (3H), and 24 h (24H) post‐WBV. There was a significant time main effect of WBV on circulating ET‐1 (F = 12.5, p
