Official Title: Evaluation of the Effects of Systemic Vibration Therapy on Thermogenesis, Cardiovascular Parameters, Endocrine-inflammatory Markers, and Physical-functional Performance in Adults With Obesity.
Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial was to evaluate the effects of Systemic Vibration Therapy (SVT) on thermogenesis, cardiovascular health, endocrine-inflammatory markers, and physical performance in adults (men and women, aged 18-59) with obesity. The main questions it aimed to answer were:

What were the effects of SVT on thermogenesis and physical-functional performance in people with obesity?

How did SVT affect cardiovascular risk, hormone levels, and inflammation?

Researchers compared two types of vibrating platforms (vertical and side-alternating) to a placebo group (where the platform was turned off but simulated the sound) to see if the vibration led to changes in these health parameters.

Participants:

Attended sessions 2 times per week for either 6 or 12 weeks.

Stood barefoot in a static squat position on a vibrating platform for 29 minutes per session (alternating 1 minute of vibration with 1 minute of rest).

Underwent health assessments, including blood tests, body composition scans, muscle strength tests, and quality of life questionnaires.

Participant Group/Arms

Side-Alternating Vibratory Platform Group (SAVPG)Active Comparator

Systemic vibration therapy was performed on a vibrating platform with side-alternating displacement of the base, at a frequency of 30 Hz, with the peak-to-peak displacement adjusted to 2.5 mm or 5.0 mm. The individual was positioned barefoot, standing on the base of the vibrating platform, with the knees flexed at 50° (measured with a goniometer), in a static squat consisting of 1 minute of exposure to vibration followed by 1 minute of rest. This sequence was performed 15 times, totaling 29 minutes.

Device: Systemic vibratory therapy

Vertical Vibratory Platform Group (VVPG)Active Comparator

Systemic vibration therapy was performed on a vibrating platform with vertical displacement of the base, and the individual was positioned barefoot, standing on the base of the vibrating platform with the knees flexed at 50° (measured with a goniometer), at a frequency of 30 Hz, with the amplitude adjusted to "low." The participant was positioned in a static squat, consisting of 1 minute of exposure to mechanical vibration followed by 1 minute of rest. This sequence was performed 15 times, totaling 29 minutes.

Control group (CG)Placebo Comparator

The individual was positioned barefoot, standing on the base of the side-alternating vibrating platform, with the knees flexed at 50° (measured with a goniometer). The vibrating platform was turned off and coupled with a device that simulated the sound of mechanical vibration. The volunteer performed the simulation in a static squat, consisting of 1 minute of exposure with the device turned on followed by 1 minute of rest with the device turned off. This sequence was performed 15 times, totaling 29 minutes.
