Effects of Stochastic Whole-body Vibration Training on Balance and Executive Functions

"Both the experimental group and the control group performed their training on an SRT Zeptor® Medical plus noise device (Frei Swiss AG, Zurich). The device featured two independent foot plates that vibrated stochastically in all three dimensions, resulting in multidimensional movement. During the training, participants were instructed to stand on the foot plates with both feet, keep their arms relaxed at their sides, maintain a slight bend in their knees, and focus their gaze on a fixation cross on the wall. Following the protocol used in Faes et al. (2018), each training session consisted of three series, each comprising one minute of vibration training followed by one minute of rest.~The vibration frequency for the intervention group was set at 5 Hz."
