The effect of whole body vibration training for six weeks on body composition, physical fitness and blood lipid of elderly obese women

  The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of whole-body vibration training on elderly aged fatty women"s body composition, physical fitness and blood lipid concentration Twenty three women were divided into two groups (experimental group: 14 women for whole-body vibration training and diet cure/control group and 9 women for diet cure only) were participated in this experiment for six weeks. After the 4 types of vibration training such as standing position, squatting position, heel position and sitting down and bending the upper body position for six weeks, the scales of weight, whole body fat, muscle power, VO2 max, reaction time, Triglyceride, TC, HDL and LDL were measured and compared pre-exercise with post-exercise. The intensity of vibration exercise was considered according to the weight of subjects and type of exercise and increased for six weeks. The t-test and one-way repeated ANOVA were used to analyze the data in statistics. The results of the study can be summarized as follow: 1. Weight was significantly different in experimental group. 2. Body fat rate was fell in both experimental and control group significantly. 2. The muscular strength of abdomen was significantly different in experimental group. 3. The leg extension power was significantly different in both experimental and control group. 4. Triglyceride, TC and LDL concentration were decreased in experimental and control group, but not significantly different. 5. HDL concentration was increased in experimental and control group, but not significantly different. In conclusion, it has been found that 4 types of vibration training with a diet cure of six-weeks can help develop the body composition and the factor of physical fitness.
