This study is currently funded by the Clifford Craig Medical Research Trust and the University of Tasmania. The aim of this project is to compare the effect of use of a whole body vibration apparatus with traditional resistance training on the physiological well being of a group of older adults. It will involve participants undertaking 4 months of whole body vibration training or traditional resistance training. Physiological tests of muscle strength, aerobic (endurance) fitness, cardiovascular function (blood flow), and cardiovascular (arterial compliance), metabolic (blood lipids, antioxidant status, blood glucose and insulin levels) and fracture risk factors (static and dynamic balance, bone density), will be tested prior to and after the 4 month training period to gauge the difference in functionalities. The data will allow us to compare the relative benefits of each type of exercise training in terms of their effects on strength, endurance and cardiovascular, metabolic and fracture risk factors. Depending on the results obtained from the vibration training, we will be able to conduct a larger study to examine the efficacy of whole body vibration training on a range of variables in the elderly and the greater population. The results of this study will have important implications for the healthy aging of our population. Furthermore, depending on the above results, we expect to continue our research to help an even wider range of people to achieve a better quality of life. We believe in assisting people in preventing problems in the future and for those who are currently in a difficult situation, to improve dramatically and live a life which is drug and pain free where possible.
