简要总结
This study aims of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of an 8-week Whole Body Vibration (WBV) intervention on Bone Mineral Density (BMD), hand grip strength, and vitamin D levels in middle-aged men. Findings from this study will contribute to understanding whether WBV is a viable alternative to conventional exercise, especially for those with limitations in physical activity.
Study Objectives:
• Primary Objective: To assess the effectiveness of an 8-week WBV intervention in improving BMD, hand grip strength, and vitamin D levels compared to a placebo intervention.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control Group with placebo vibration therapy
Participants will perform the same activities as the experimental group, but with a vertical displacement of 0.22 mm, deemed therapeutically insufficient.
干预措施: Placebo Dynatronics VF5 Model vibration platform (Device)
Experimental Group
Participants will undergo an 8-week WBV therapy program using a Dynatronics VF5 Model vibration platform. Each session will last 4 minutes, with vibration frequencies progressively increased from 25 Hz to 40 Hz without rest intervals.
干预措施: Dynatronics VF5 Model vibration platform (Device)
