Protocol summary

Summary
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Whole Body Vibration on body composition parameters in healthy adults. The study was performed on 40 obese or overweight healthy volunteers (35-18 years). Main inclusion criteria are obesity or overweight and main exclusion criteria include factors that affect body weight and cases of contraindications of Whole Body Vibration. Volunteers informed about the experimental procedure and purpose of this study. Subsequently, their written informed consent is obtained. After the registration of demographic data including age, weight, body mass index. volunteers will be randomly assigned in one of three groups: control, whole body vibration and whole body vibration with exercise. Intervention: The control group do not receive any intervention and only participate in measurements. Whole body vibration (WBV) at 30-50 HZ frequency and high amplitude is conducted for 20 minutes in the two groups. In WBV with exercise group the samples perform five dynamic exercises (biceps curl, leg abduction, lunge, calf raise, squatting) during WBV. Interventions are done 3 times per week for 8 weeks. Before and after the intervention subcutaneous fat is measured using Sahan caliper and Sonography. Measurements were performed in women in five region (Tricep,Abdominal,Thigh ,Supra iliac,Subscapular) . Measurements were performed in men in 4 region (Tricep,Abdominal, Thigh ,Supra iliac) . The fat percentage is calculated based on the formula Jackson & pollock. Waist and hip circumference are measured with a tape. Weight scales with a precision of 0.1 kg and height tape with a precision of 0.1 cm is measured and recorded.
