The purpose of this study was investigating the effect of whole body vibration training (WBVT)and creatine (Cr) supplementation on lower extremity performance and balance in older men.Twenty two healthy older men selected and divided to three groups randomly; WBVT+Cr(n=7); WBVT+P group (n=7); and control group (n=8). The WBVT+Cr and WBVT+P groupsperformed exercises on the whole body vibration device for 10 days with intensity 30-35 HZand 5 mm amplitude. The WBVT+Cr group consumed 20g/day creatine supplement for the first5 days which fallowed by 5g/days for next 5 days of protocol. The control group neither did anyexercise and nor consumed any supplement during the protocol. Static balance by standing timeon one leg; dynamic balance by TUG test and lower extremity performance by 30 meterwalking test; sit and stand test and tandem gait test was measured. Paired sample t test and oneway ANOVA used for data analysis (α=0.05). Result showed that dynamic balance; lower bodyperformance in 30 meter walking and tandem gait was improved in experimental groups. Butthere was no significant increase in static balance (p=0.514); dynamic balance (p=0.153); lowerbody performance in 30 meter walking test (p=0.339); sit and stand test (p=0.578) and tandemgait (p=0.151) in between groups. Therefore it seems that WBVT plus Cr supplementation inshort time has no effect on lower extremity function and balance in older men. |
