研究组 & 干预措施
Whole body vibration exercise
The experimental group will receive 2 sessions of whole body vibration exercise training and conventional exercise per week for a period of 9 weeks. The total duration of vibration exposure per session will range from 4 to 6 minutes. The vibration frequency and amplitude used will be 30 Hz and 1 mm, respectively.
