About
To investigate and compare between the effectiveness of whole body vibration and aerobic training exercises in management of sarcopenia, muscle mass, physical performance and muscle strength in elderly.
Full description
Participants will be assigned randomly into two groups of equal number (study group A and study group B ) the randomization will be performed by computerized randomization. Assessors will be blinded to the groups of the subjects.
c- Subject selection 84 patients with sarcopenia will participate in this study and will be divided randomly into three equal groups with 28 participants in each group.
d- Groups: Group A (Study group): Will receive whole body vibration exercises with conventional progressive resistance exercises and diet modification life style Group B (Study group): Will receive aerobic exercises training with conventional progressive resistance exercises and diet modification life style.
Group C (Control Group): will receive conventional progressive resistance exercises and diet modification life style.
