INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study aims to explore the effects of Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) exercises and relaxation techniques on adolescent female athletes who are experiencing Female Athlete Triad Syndrome - a condition that may include low bone density, irregular menstrual cycles, and low energy availability. Participants will take part in a structured program combining vibration training and relaxation sessions over several weeks. The goal is to determine whether this combination can improve bone health, menstrual regularity, physical performance, and overall well-being in young female athletes.

Interventions
Participants in study group will receive a combination of Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) training and relaxation techniques during the same intervention period. Each session will include approximately 15-20 minutes of WBV exercises performed on a vibration platform under physiotherapist supervision, followed by 20-30 minutes of guided relaxation training involving deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness-based relaxation. The sessions will be conducted three times per week for 8 weeks. In control group participant will receive relaxation techniques the program will include a combination of guided breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness-based relaxation.Each session will last about 20-30 minutes, conducted three times per week for 8 weeks, supervised by a physiotherapist or psychologist trained in relaxation therapy.
for both groups (A\&B) will receive relaxation Techniques Training The program may include: 1. Diaphragmatic (Deep) Breathing Focus on slow, controlled breathing from the diaphragm Typically: 4-6 breaths per minute 2. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) Tensing and relaxing different muscle groups Increases body awareness and reduces physical tension 3. Autogenic Training Uses visualizations and self-suggestions to induce relaxation (e.g., "My arms feel heavy and warm") Enhances self-regulation and calmness 4. Mindfulness Meditation Focuses on present-moment awareness Helps reduce intrusive thoughts, improve attention and emotional regulation
