Whole body vibration for middle-aged men
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether standing on a gently vibrating platform (whole body vibration) can improve health and fitness in men aged 50 and older who already exercise. The therapy is simple and may offer a new way to support strength and well-being.
