Whole body vibration training
Each whole body vibration session will consist of a 20 min timed stand on the vibration platform where participants will stand with their knees in a slightly flexed position (120°) while the plate oscillates. The vibration frequency will be set at ranges between 20-40Hz and the amplitude set at 2mm displacement.
Control group
Participants in this group will be asked to not make any significant changes to their lifestyle behaviors, such as diet and exercise, for the duration of the study.
