Women's health program

Griffith University Gold Coast campus is currently recruiting older women to take part in the VIBMOR clinical trial (9-month intervention plus 12-month follow-up). Eligible volunteers will be tested at three timepoints (baseline, 9 and 21 months) and are randomly allocated to one of the four following groups: 1) Home-based exercise, 30 min, twice/week; 2) Home-based whole body vibration therapy, 10 min, five times/week; 3) Griffith-based exercise training, 30 min, twice/week; 4) Both supervised exercise training and whole body vibration therapy. Participants will receive free bone density and body composition scans.

Gold Coast women who are over 60 years of age, or at least 5 years post menopause, with low bone mineral density are encouraged to apply.
