About this trial
This study aims to explore the effects of Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) exercises and relaxation techniques on adolescent female athletes who are experiencing Female Athlete Triad Syndrome - a condition that may include low bone density, irregular menstrual cycles, and low energy availability.
Participants will take part in a structured program combining vibration training and relaxation sessions over several weeks. The goal is to determine whether this combination can improve bone health, menstrual regularity, physical performance, and overall well-being in young female athletes.
