Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control
This group will undergo three 45-minute exercise sessions per week for 10 weeks. No whole body vibration will be given.
Leg exercises
Low intensity vibration
This group will receive three 45-minute whole body vibration training sessions for 10 consecutive weeks. The vibration will be of low intensity (frequency: 20 Hertz, amplitude: 1mm).
Low intensity whole body vibration
Leg exercises
High intensity vibration
This group will receive three 45-minute whole body vibration training sessions per week for 10 consecutive weeks.The vibration will be of higher intensity than the low intensity vibration group (frequency: 30 Hertz, amplitude: 1mm).
