II-Group B (WBV group):
For 8 weeks, WBV participants completed 3 supervised training sessions a week. Each participant received an explanation of the WBV device and the treatment protocol. Women stood in upright position and hold on handle bar before switching the WBV device at "on" position.
The exercises were consisted of dynamic squats starting from upright position into the assigned degree of knee flexion "squats with 90° knee angle, semi-squats with 120° knee angle" and heel elevation (calf-raise), each exercise was performed for 3 sets and each set consisted of 5 repetitions.
