Summary

Obesity has become a significant public health concern globally, particularly among university students, where lifestyle changes contribute to increased body weight and fat accumulation. The World Health Organization defines obesity as a condition characterized by excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health, with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher being a common threshold for classification. In Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of obesity among young adults is alarming, necessitating effective interventions to combat this issue.

Conditions

• Obesity
• Overweight

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Whole body vibration device	Whole-body vibration (WBV) training using the Power Plate Pro 7HC (Northbrook, USA). The vibration frequency was set between 30-40 Hz, with an amplitude of 2-4 mm.
OTHER	Sham Whole body vibration	A sham Whole body vibration will be used . participants will stand on the device without actual vibrations.This control condition will be used to isolate the effects of WBV from other potential influences such as standing posture and time spent on the the platform.
