The effects of light exercise, whole-body vibration and weight vest on physiological variables in the elderly

Phase 1
Completed
Registration Number
TCTR20240529009
Lead Sponsor
Khon Kaen University
Brief Summary

1. WV program is the most effective strategy for delayed bone loss . Furthermore, WV program has more potential to lung function and reduced triglyceride level. 2. WBV program is the most beneficial for muscle mass gain . Moreover, WBV effectively improves cardiac autonomic function. 3. WBV is the most effective method for fat mass reduction after 8-week training for female elderly.
