Vibration therapy for active men over 50
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 in middle-aged men who are already active. It may help with muscle strength, balance, or other fitness measures.
