Immediate Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Hemodynamic Response and Fatigue in Normotensive People With Obesity (RT)

Immediate Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Hemodynamic Response and Fatigue in Normotensive Patients With Obesity

Whole Body Vibration Therapy (WBVT) has been identified as a useful tool to increase peripheral blood flow. The present study aimed at how dynamic exercises with WBVT immediate effect on hemodynamic response and fatigue parameters in patients with obesity.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Active Whole Body Vibration Training; Exercises were taught during the first session, active training was done in the second session, and acute evaluations were made during the third session. Both groups performed the dynamic exercises, under supervision, on the whole body vibration device with 10-second rest intervals. Throughout the WBVT session, the vibration amplitude was set to 2 mm and exercise frequency 30 Hz.	Other: Whole Body Vibration Training; Whole Body Vibration Training (WBVT) method has been used as an alternative to conventional strengthening exercises. In this method, the patient stands on the platform of the WBVT device in a static position or performs dynamic exercises, the mechanical vibration produced by the device is transferred to the body; Other Names: Standard Exercise
Active Comparator: Control Group; The same exercises as the aWBVT group were performed on the vibration platform, with the vibration application turned off	Other: Whole Body Vibration Training; Whole Body Vibration Training (WBVT) method has been used as an alternative to conventional strengthening exercises. In this method, the patient stands on the platform of the WBVT device in a static position or performs dynamic exercises, the mechanical vibration produced by the device is transferred to the body; Other Names: Standard Exercise

What is the study measuring?
