An interventional study of whole-body vibration training in Biomarkers, sponsored by National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences. Completed. Open to participants aged 65 Years to 99 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-02-18.
Sponsored by National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The whole-body vibration programme employed in this study partly improved the biomarkers and health beliefs of the prefrail community-dwelling older adults.
The experimental group participated in a 12-week whole-body vibration training that conducted 3 times per week, with 5-min continuous vibration at 12-Hz frequency and 3-mm amplitude each time
