Total body and lumbar spine (L1-4) bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD)

Variables	Baseline n = 10	Control n = 10	Vibration n = 8	ANOVA (P-value =)
	B	C	V
Total body BMC (g)	7.20±0.33^a	7.99±0.44^b	7.91±0.31^b	0.01
Total body BMD (g cm⁻²)	0.160±0.007^a	0.168±0.005^b	0.170±0.006^b	0.01
Spine BMC (g)	NA	0.258±0.030^a	0.331±0.050^b	0.001
Spine BMD (g cm⁻²)	NA	0.192±0.010^a	0.214±0.010^b	0.005

Abbreviations: BMC, bone mineral content; BMD, bone mineral density. Groups sharing a common superscript do not differ significantly from one another (P>0.05). Values are mean ± s.d.
