Abstract

Physical activity plays a pivotal role in promoting health among older adults by delaying the deterioration of body functions. Whole-body vibration exercises (WBVEs) have gained popularity and are widely used to improve muscle strength, gait speed, bone mineral Physical activity plays a pivotal role in promoting health among older adults by delaying the deterioration of body functions.
