Brief Summary

Whole body vibration (WBV) trainings are widely used in the field of sports medicine and rehabilitation. It is accepted that these trainings are a modality that can safely increase muscular activation and performance. However, although many exercise models have been tried on vibration platforms, a standard WBV program for trunk muscles has not been established. A total of 45 healthy individuals will be included in the study. Participants will be divided into 3 groups. Group 1 will perform exercises at 40hz frequency, group 2 will perform exercises at 25hz frequency on WBV. The control group will perform the same exercises at 0 Hz. The training will last 6 weeks and each session consists of 5 exercises.The training consists of basic core exercises that the individual does with his or her own body weight. Each training session is approximately 30 minutes. All participants will be evaluated using an isokinetic strength test with a Cybex dynamometer at the beginning and at the end of the additional treatment protocol. In addition, balance, body composition and anaerobic performance of individuals will be evaluated.
