Obesity has become a significant public health concern globally, particularly among university students, where lifestyle changes contribute to increased body weight and fat accumulation. The World Health Organization defines obesity as a condition characterized by excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health, with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher being a common threshold for classification. In Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of obesity among young adults is alarming, necessitating effective interventions to combat this issue.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Study group | Experimental | The study group (no = 16) underwent whole-body vibration (WBV) training using the PowerPlate device. Sessions will be conducted three times per week for 6 weeks. |
|
| Control group | Sham Comparator | The sham WBV group (no=16) will stand on the same device with the vibtation shut off. Sessions will be conducted three times per week for 6 weeks. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Whole body vibration device | Device | Whole-body vibration (WBV) training using the Power Plate Pro 7HC (Northbrook, USA). The vibration frequency was set between 30-40 Hz, with an amplitude of 2-4 mm. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Body Mass Index | BMI will be calculated as weight (kg) divided by height (m²). | 6 weeks |
| Waist circumference | WC will be measured at the midpoint between the lower rib and iliac crest using a non-stretchable measuring tape. | 6 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Body fat percentage | A smart scale will be used to measure body composition including the percentage of whole bofy fat. | 6 weeks |
