About this trial

Obesity has become a major global public health issue, defined by an excessive accumulation of body fat that presents substantial health risks. Over 650 million adults worldwide suffer from obesity, which is defined as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. Obesity is becoming more common in both developed and developing countries. Sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits that include processed foods and sugars, and genetic factors are the main causes of the rising prevalence of obesity. Obesity is a multifactorial condition that affects physical appearance and self-esteem, while also having significant implications for long-term health, leading to decreased life expectancy and lower quality of life.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Females aged 18 to 25.

normotensive (<140/90 mmHg).

Their BMI was from 25 to 40 kg/m2.

Sedentary (≤ 90min of regular exercise per week).

Disqualifiers

Having previously diagnosed with any chronic disease.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Whole-body vibration device

    Device

    Whole-body vibration (WBV) training using the Power Plate Pro 7HC (Northbrook, USA). The vibration frequency was set at 30 Hz, with an amplitude of 2 mm.

  • Sham whole body vibration

    Other intervention

    A sham Whole body vibration will be used . participants will stand on the device without actual vibrations.This control condition will be used to isolate the effects of WBV from other potential influences such as standing posture and time spent on the the platform.

Treatment groups

26 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Study Group (Whole body vibration group)Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Control group (Sham whole body vibration group)Experimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Brachial blood pressure

Systolic brachial blood pressure and diastolic brachial blood pressure will be measured using a blood pressure (BP) monitoring device after 15 minutes rest.

Time frame
1 day
2

Heart rate

Heart rate will be measured using a pulse oximeter after 15 minutes rest.

Time frame
1 day
3

Arterial O2 saturation

Arterial oxygen saturation of pulse oximetry (SpO2) were measured using a pulse oximeter.

Time frame
1 day

Secondary outcomes

1

6-Minute walk test

The 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is a simple, practical assessment used to measure functional exercise capacity. It evaluates how far a person can walk on a flat, hard surface (usually 30 meters) in six minutes. It is widely used in cardiology, pulmonology, and rehabilitation.

Time frame
1 day
2

The Borg scale

The Borg Scale is a tool used to measure a person's perceived exertion and how hard they feel they are working during physical activity. It is commonly used during cardiac rehab, pulmonary rehab, exercise training, and clinical assessments. the scale ranges from 6 represents no exertion at all and to 20 represents maximal exertion.

Time frame
1 day
