Compared to other subjects, obese people have inferior trunk muscle endurance and balance. A modern method of neuro-muscular training called whole body vibration (WBV) may improve trunk muscle endurance and balance. This study evaluates the impact of a 4-week WBV program on trunk endurance and balance in obese female students. Sixty participants from 18 to 25 years of age and with BMI values ≥ 30 were randomly distributed into two equal groups: Group A (WBV group), who received 4 min of WBV, and Group B (sham WBV group), who received WBV with a turn-off device. The training was conducted two days/week for six weeks. Trunk endurance was evaluated using the Sorensen Test (ST) and Trunk Flexor Endurance Test (TFET). The Single-Leg Test (SLT) was used to assess static balance, while the Biodex Stability System measured dynamic balance. : The current study demonstrated no significant differences ( > 0.05) in pre-treatment variables between Groups A and B. Post-treatment, Group A showed a significantly higher duration of the Sorensen test, TFET and SLS than Group B ( < 0.001). Moreover, Group A showed significantly lower dynamic balance ( < 0.001) than Group B. WBV has a short-term effect on trunk endurance and balance in obese female students. WBV can be added to the rehabilitation program for obese subjects with deficits in trunk endurance and balance.
与其他科目相比，肥胖人群的躯干肌肉耐力和平衡能力较差。一种称为全身振动（WBV）的神经肌肉训练现代方法可能会改善躯干肌肉耐力和平衡。本研究评估了为期 4 周的 WBV 方案对肥胖女学生躯干耐力和平衡的影响。
60 名年龄在 18 至 25 岁之间、BMI 值≥30 的参与者被随机分为两组：A 组（WBV 组），接受 4 分钟的 WBV；B 组（假 WBV 组），接受关闭装置的 WBV。训练每周进行两次，持续六周。躯干耐力通过 Sorensen 测试（ST）和躯干屈肌耐力测试（TFET）进行评估。单腿测试（SLT）用于评估静态平衡，而 Biodex 稳定性系统则测量动态平衡。
目前的研究表明，A 组和 B 组在治疗前变量之间没有显著差异（>0.05）。治疗后，A 组的 Sorensen 测试、TFET 和 SLS 持续时间明显高于 B 组（<0.001）。此外，A 组的动态平衡明显低于 B 组（<0.001）。
WBV 对肥胖女学生的躯干耐力和平衡有短期影响。WBV 可以添加到肥胖人群的康复计划中，这些人在躯干耐力和平衡方面存在缺陷。
