NCT ID NCT07180485

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether whole body vibration training (standing on a vibrating platform) can improve brain activity, bone density, and quality of life in people aged 65+ who have weak muscles and excess belly fat. 120 participants will be split into two groups: one does vibration training plus gets a health booklet, the other only gets the booklet. Researchers will measure blood markers, bone scans, and quality of life over 6 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

whole body vibration training

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to improve muscle function, bone health, and quality of life in older adults with dynapenic abdominal obesity.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with no blinding, so results may be influenced by placebo effects. The intervention is behavioral, not a drug, so benefits may be modest.
