Blood Pressure, Exercise, Obesity, Whole Body Vibration
Conditions
Brief summary
Whole Body Vibration Therapy (WBVT) has been identified as a useful tool to increase peripheral blood flow. The present study aimed at how dynamic exercises with WBVT immediate effect on hemodynamic response and fatigue parameters in patients with obesity.
Interventions
OTHERWhole Body Vibration Training
Whole Body Vibration Training (WBVT) method has been used as an alternative to conventional strengthening exercises. In this method, the patient stands on the platform of the WBVT device in a static position or performs dynamic exercises, the mechanical vibration produced by the device is transferred to the body

Intervention model description
Active Whole Body Vibration (aWBVT) group, performed ten dynamic standard exercises on a vibration platform. The vibration protocol lasted for 15 minutes, in a frequency of 30 Hz and amplitude of 2 mm. Control group performed only ten dynamic standard exercises with no vibration application. Blood Pressure, heart rate, saturated oxygen were measured for the hemodynamic response. Modified Borg Dyspnoea Scale (MBDS) and The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (BRPE) Scale were used in order to evaluate fatigue level. All evaluations were performed at the beginning of the study, at the end of the session and at the recovery period

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Heart rate | 20 minute | Heart rate was evaluated from the brachial artery using a sphygmanometer. |
| Blood pressure | 20 minute | Blood pressure was evaluated using a sphygmomanometer. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fatigue | 20 minute | Borg's Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale. Minimum score: 6 Maximum score: 20 The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion scale helps estimate activity intensity. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Dyspnea | 20 minute | Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale Minimum score 0: breathing is causing no difficulty Maximum score 10: breathing difficulty is maximal |
