Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Active Whole Body Vibration Training	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.
Control Group	Whole Body Vibration Training	The same exercises as the aWBVT group were performed on the vibration platform, with the vibration application turned off

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Heart rate	"20 minute"	Heart rate was evaluated from the brachial artery using a sphygmanometer.
Blood pressure	"20 minute"	Blood pressure was evaluated using a sphygmomanometer.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Fatigue	"20 minute"	Borg's Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale. Minimum score: 6 Maximum score: 20 The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion scale helps estimate activity intensity.
