Whole-body Vibration With or Without Localized Radiofrequency and Body Composition in Obese Female

NCT ID: NCT01329328

Last Updated: 2020-09-24

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 50 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2010-07-31
• Study Completion Date: 2011-03-31

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of whole-body vibration in the presence or absence of localized radiofrequency on body composition in obese female subjects. Moreover, strength tests will be performed. The study hypothesis is that whole-body vibration induces positive changes in body composition i.e., reduction of fat mass and increase of lean mass with associated increase in performance. The possible additive role of radiofrequency will also be assessed.

Detailed Description

• recruitment of female obese subjects
• baseline assessment (body composition with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and strength tests)
• 2-mo whole body vibration training (2 sessions a week, 30 min per session) with or without local delivery of radiofrequency (two randomly selected groups)
• final assessment (body composition with DXA and strength tests)
• data collation and analysis
