About this study
Official title: Effects of Whole-body Vibration Training on Bone Mass and Bone Metabolism in Adolescents With Down Syndrome / Efectos Del Entrenamiento Vibratorio en la Masa ósea y el Metabolismo óseo de Adolescentes Con síndrome de Down
The main aims of the present project include 1) to study the longitudinal effects of whole-body vibratory exercise on bone metabolism in adolescents with and without DS and 2) to evaluate whether a low frequency vibratory training program consisting of 3 sessions per week for 9 months (each vibratory session last approximately 10 minutes and includes 5-6 bouts of 1 min with 1 min rest between bouts) can improve bone development in these populations. Finally, and additional aim of the project is 3) to determine how long these effects may last after the end of the intervention.

Receives: Device: Whole-body vibration training (Power Plate®) on bone mass and bone metabolism in adolescents with and without Down syndrome. |
| DS-NONWBV | No intervention | This group will continue with their day-to-day lifestyle during the course of the project. |
| NONDS-WBV | Experimental | Exercise with Whole-body vibration (WBV) platform (Power Plate®). The participants will perform squat on a vibratory platform (3 times per week; 10 repetitions 30 to 60 seconds; Frequency: 25-30 Hz; Amplitude: 2 mm).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes from baseline in body composition assessed with dual energy X-ray at different time points, 6 months and 15 months.
Measured: Changes from baseline in body composition at 6 months and changes from baseline in body composition at 15 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Changes from baseline in bone structure evaluated with peripheral quantitative computed tomography at different time points, 6 months and 15 months.
Measured: Changes from baseline in bone structure at 6 months and changes from baseline in bone structure at 15 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Whole-body vibration training (Power Plate®) on bone mass and bone metabolism in adolescents with and without Down syndrome. in people with Down Syndrome, run by Universidad de Zaragoza at 1 site in Spain.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Changes from baseline in body composition assessed with dual energy X-ray at different time points, 6 months and 15 months. (time frame: Changes from baseline in body composition at 6 months and changes from baseline in body composition at 15 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Mar 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
