The influence of vibration training on blood cholesterol in people with osteoporosis risk

The main aim of the experiment was description of low frequency influence on cholesterol (LDL and HDL fractions) in people with osteoporosis risk. Subjects were divided into two groups: experimental including 12 subjects which performed 15 min. long training sessions during 19 day schedule and 12 subjects in control one. Training consisted with low frequency vibrations (3.5 Hz) on special platform. Before and after experiment the venous blood was taken in order to establish cholesterol concentration (HDL and LDL fractions). It was determined that concentration of whole cholesterol and its HDL and LDL fractions was increased after experiment. Changes were significantly larger in experimental group. Because of negative consequences of increase in ischemic factors the results of this pilot study should be confirmed in further experiments.
