What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial examines the effects of a structured 8-week program combining whole-body vibration training and relaxation techniques in adolescent female athletes diagnosed with Female Athlete Triad Syndrome. Participants are randomized to receive WBV plus relaxation versus relaxation alone, under physiotherapist supervision. Primary outcomes include changes in bone mineral density and hormonal regulation, with secondary outcomes focusing on psychological well-being and physical performance. The study aims to determine if adding WBV to relaxation can support bone health, menstrual function, and overall recovery in this population.
