Brief Summary

This study aimed to compare the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) training and Pilates exercises on physical fitness, fatigue, and physical self-perception in healthy women. This study was carried out on 36 healthy sedentary female subjects. Subjects were divided into three groups; Pilates training group, WBV training group, and control group. In the Pilates group, the exercises were performed with "Reformer®" for eight weeks, twice in a week, 45-min per day. In the WBV group, the training was given "Power Plate®" for eight weeks, twice in a week, and 30 minutes in a day. The control group did not receive any training.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Body Composition Change

  The body composition of the subjects was evaluated with bioelectrical impedance analysis (Tanita BC 601,Tanita Corp., Maeno-Cho, Tokyo, Japan). Body fat proportion was recorded as a percentage.
