Evaluation of the Effects of Systemic Vibration Therapy on Thermogenesis, Cardiovascular Parameters, Endocrine-inflammatory Markers, and Physical-functional Performance in Adults With Obesity.

Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of Systemic Vibration Therapy (SVT) on thermogenesis, cardiovascular health, endocrine-inflammatory markers, and physical performance in adults (men and women, aged 18-59) with obesity. The main questions it aimed to answer were: What were the effects of SVT on thermogenesis and physical-functional performance in people with obesity? How did SVT affect cardiovascular risk, hormone levels, and inflammation? Researchers compared two types of vibrating platforms (vertical and side-alternating) to a placebo group (where the platform was turned off but simulated the sound) to see if the vibration led to changes in these health parameters. Participants: Attended sessions 2 times per week for either 6 or 12 weeks. Stood barefoot in a static squat position on a vibrating platform for 29 minutes per session (alternating 1 minute of vibration with 1 minute of rest). Underwent health assessments, including blood tests, body composition scans, muscle strength tests, and quality of life questionnaires.
