Whole Body Vibration Therapy in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

The Effect of Whole Body Vibration Therapy on Muscle Oxygenation in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Sponsor

Ankara Medipol University

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Aug 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Aerobic Exercise Type 2 Diabetes Whole Body Vibration Muscle Oxygenation

Summary

The aim of this interventional study is to investigate the effect of whole body vibration therapy on muscle oxygenation, vibration sensation, functional capacity and balance in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. The main questions aimed to be answered are: * Does whole body vibration therapy affect peripheral muscle oxygenation? * Does whole body vibration therapy improve vibration sense, functional capacity and balance compared to aerobic exercise? Participants' muscle oxygenation, vibration sensation, functional capacity and balance parameters will be assessed. They will participate in a whole body vibration therapy or aerobic training program.

Interventions

OTHERWhole Body Vibration

Each exercise session will be performed with a frequency of 30 Hz and an amplitude of 2 mm. Participants are in a 110° squat position on the platform (the degree will be adjusted using a goniometer). Participants will exercise for 16 minutes from week one to week three, 20 minutes from week four to week six and 24 minutes from week seven to week eight, respectively (8 iterations and 1 minute of vibration with 1 minute interval between each iteration)

OTHERAerobic Exercise

From week one to week three, from week four to week six and from week seven to week eight, the participants will exercise for 30 minutes (5 minutes of running at 60-70% of heart rate and 5 minutes of active rest at 30-45% of maximum heart rate), 42 minutes (7 minutes of running at 60-70% of heart rate and 7 minutes of active rest at 30-45% of maximum heart rate) and 60 minutes (10 minutes of running at 60-70% of heart rate and 10 minutes of active rest at 30-45% of maximum heart rate). The exercise sessions consist of warm-up, main program and cool-down phases.
