Effects of Whole Body Vibration and Resistance Training on Bone Mineral Density and Anthropometry in Obese Postmenopausal Women

Table 4

Simple linear regression results for WBV and resistive exercise types in obese postmenopausal women.

Independent variables	BMD of femoral Neck	BMD of greater trochanter	BMD of wards triangle	BMD of L2-L4
Duration of WBV (minutes per week)	𝑅^2 =0.568	𝑅^2=0.668	𝑅^2=0.609	𝑅^2=0.968
	𝑃<0.04	𝑃<0.04	𝑃<0.05	𝑃<0.05
Duration of resistive (minutes per week)	𝑅^2=0.598	𝑅^2=0.578	𝑅^2=0.577	𝑅^2=0.545
	𝑃<0.04	𝑃<0.04	𝑃<0.02	𝑃<0.03

𝑅²: Pearson’s coefficient of correlation. Values of 𝑃 indicate the probability of the slope between the independent and the dependent variables being nonsignificantly different from zero.
