This study will be conducted to investigate the Effect of whole-body vibration on insulin resistance in obese postmenopausal women
The prevalence of obesity has tripled over the past four decades, imposing an enormous burden on people's health.
Obesity is associated with premature mortality and is a serious public health threat that accounts for a large proportion of the worldwide non-communicable disease burden, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and certain cancers.
reported that "Whole-body vibration (WBV) training has been established as a useful method to improve physical fitness in obese individuals. Vibration stimulus during half squatting might suggest a long-term effect of WBV on the endocrine system. Therefore, in this study, The aim to investigate the effect of whole-body vibration on insulin resistance in obese postmenopausal.

The Homeostatic model assessment (The HOMA-IR).
The Homeostatic model assessment (The HOMA-IR). A sample of 5ml of venous blood sample was drawn from all women after 12 hours fasting for measurement of fasting blood glucose, fasting blood insulin and then detection of insulin resistance (by HOMA -IR) through the equation: HOMA-IR=(Glucose ×Insulin)/405 glucose in mass unit (mg/dl)
Time frame: up to 3 months
BMI
Weight and height were measured to detect the BMI according to the following equation: BMI= weight/height² (Kg/m²)
Time frame: up to 3 months
Waist circumference
A non-stretchable tape measurement was used to measure waist circumference for all women in both groups A and B: mid-way between upper border of the lateral iliac crest and the lower border of the lowest rib at the end of gentle expiration with arm relaxed at sides.
Time frame: up to 3 months
Skin fold thickness
Skin fold caliper was used to measure skin fold thickness at abdominal region for all women in both groups A and B
Time frame: up to 3 months
