Whole-Body Vibration Training and Pilates Exercises for Healthy Women

This study aimed to compare the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) training and Pilates exercises on physical fitness, fatigue, and physical self-perception in healthy women. This study was carried out on 36 healthy sedentary female subjects. Subjects were divided into three groups; Pilates training group, WBV training group, and control group. In the Pilates group, the exercises were performed with \"Reformer®\" for eight weeks, twice in a week, 45-min per day. In the WBV group, the training was given \"Power Plate®\" for eight weeks, twice in a week, and 30 minutes in a day. The control group did not receive any training.
