About this trial
This study aims of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of an 8-week Whole Body Vibration (WBV) intervention on Bone Mineral Density (BMD), hand grip strength, and vitamin D levels in middle-aged men. Findings from this study will contribute to understanding whether WBV is a viable alternative to conventional exercise, especially for those with limitations in physical activity.
Study Objectives:
• Primary Objective: To assess the effectiveness of an 8-week WBV intervention in improving BMD, hand grip strength, and vitamin D levels compared to a placebo intervention.
