The Impact of Whole-Body Vibration and Relaxation Techniques on Adolescent Athlete Girls With Triad Syndrome"

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

whole body vibration device: Participants in study group will receive a combination of Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) training and relaxation techniques during the same intervention period. Each session will include approximately 15-20 minutes of WBV exercises performed on a vibration platform under physiotherapist supervision, followed by 20-30 minutes of guided relaxation training involving deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness-based relaxation. The sessions will be conducted three times per week for 8 weeks. In control group participant will receive relaxation techniques the program will include a combination of guided breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness-based relaxation.Each session will last about 20-30 minutes, conducted three times per week for 8 weeks, supervised by a physiotherapist or psychologist trained in relaxation therapy.

relaxation training: for both groups (A\&B) will receive relaxation Techniques Training The program may include: 1. Diaphragmatic (Deep) Breathing Focus on slow, controlled breathing from the diaphragm Typically: 4-6 breaths per minute 2. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) Tensing and relaxing different muscle groups Increases body awareness and reduces physical tension 3. Autogenic Training Uses visualizations and self-suggestions to induce relaxation (e.g., "My arms feel heavy and warm") Enhances self-regulation and calmness 4. Mindfulness Meditation Focuses on present-moment awareness Helps reduce intrusive thoughts, improve attention and emotional regulation

Study summary

This study aims to explore the effects of Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) exercises and relaxation techniques on adolescent female athletes who are experiencing Female Athlete Triad Syndrome - a condition that may include low bone density, irregular menstrual cycles, and low energy availability.

Participants will take part in a structured program combining vibration training and relaxation sessions over several weeks. The goal is to determine whether this combination can improve bone health, menstrual regularity, physical performance, and overall well-being in young female athletes.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• hormonal regularity — 2 months
  hormonal regularity via Estrogen serum analysis It involves measuring the levels of estrogens (primarily estradiol) in the blood to evaluate reproductive health, menstrual cycle function, fertility, menopause status, or hormonal disorders.
• bone mineral density — 2 months
  bone mineral density via DEXA. that used to diagnose osteoporosis, assess fracture risk, and monitor changes in bone over time. The gold standard for assessing BMD is the DEXA scan (also known as DXA, or Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry).
