Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Pretest and posttest results of the experimental and control groups for Grip strength

    Comparison of grip strength before and after 12 weeks of training

    Change from baseline at 12 weeks (The experimental group participated training that was conducted 3 times per week, with 5-min continuous vibration)

  • Pretest and posttest results of the experimental and control groups for 15-foot walk test speed

    Comparison of 15-foot walk test speed before and after 12 weeks of training

    Change from baseline at 12 weeks (The experimental group participated training that was conducted 3 times per week, with 5-min continuous vibration)

  • Pretest and posttest results of the experimental and control groups for One-leg standing test using the dominant leg with the eyes open

    Comparison of One-leg standing test with the eyes open before and after 12 weeks of training

    Change from baseline at 12 weeks (The experimental group participated training that was conducted 3 times per week, with 5-min continuous vibration)

  • Pretest and posttest results of the experimental and control groups for Thirty-second chair stand test

    Comparison of Thirty-second chair stand test before and after 12 weeks of training

    Change from baseline at 12 weeks (The experimental group participated training that was conducted 3 times per week, with 5-min continuous vibration)

  • Pretest and posttest results of the experimental and control groups for Two-minute step test

    Comparison of Two-minute step test before and after 12 weeks of training

    Change from baseline at 12 weeks (The experimental group participated training that was conducted 3 times per week, with 5-min continuous vibration)

  • Pretest and posttest results of the experimental and control groups for Health beliefs

    Comparison of health beliefs before and after 12 weeks

    The twelfth week

Secondary Outcomes (2)

Study Arms (1)

whole-body vibration training

EXPERIMENTAL

a 12-week whole-body vibration training that conducted 3 times per week, with 5-min continuous vibration at 12-Hz frequency and 3-mm amplitude each time.

Device: whole-body vibration training

Interventions

whole-body vibration trainingDEVICE

The experimental group participated in a 12-week whole-body vibration training that was conducted 3 times per week, with 5-min continuous vibration at 12-Hz frequency and 3-mm amplitude each time. The control group were provided home DVDs on resistance exercise and manuals for preventing frailty
