Brief summary: Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of whole body vibration training (WBVT) and aerobic exercise on premenstrual syndrome in young women with routine dietary intake.

Detailed description: Methods: A prospective, randomised, pre-post-test, single-blind, controlled study was conducted in 34 women diagnosed with PMS. Participants were randomly assigned into three groups: the Aerobic Exercise Group (AEG, n=11), the Whole-Body Vibration Training Group (WBVT, n=11), and the Control Group (CG, n=12). Participants in the AEG performed 45-minute exercise sessions (10 minutes warm-up, 30 minutes walk, 5 minutes cool down) three times a week for eight weeks. The WBV program was conducted using a 25 Hz frequency and a 2 mm low amplitude on the Power Plate® (pro5TM) machine, which provides three-plane oscillatory motion. The program lasted eight weeks, with sessions held three days a week, ensuring at least one rest day between sessions. The control group was asked to continue their daily life routines. Dietary intake of all participants was monitored, and those with different diets were excluded from the study. Premenstrual Syndrome Questionnaire (PMSS) was used to evaluate PMS symptoms and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain.
