Effects of Whole-Body Vibration and High Impact Exercises in Postmenopausal Women

58 participantsStarted 2010-01

Plain-language summary

We investigated the effects of whole body vibration (WBV) and high-impact (HI) exercises in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density. In summary, WBV exercises are effective in preventing bone loss and WBV and HI exercise programs are effective in decreasing fall risk, increasing health-related quality of life and improving depressive symptoms
