Introduction: hypothyroidism in addition to menopause has a double effect on increasing inflammation in postmenopausal women, sports activity reduces inflammation. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a period of The Effect of a Whole Body Vibration Course on Some serum inflammatory indicators in Postmenopausal Women with Hypothyroidism. Methods: In this semi experimental study, 20 postmenopausal women with hypothyroidism aged 46 to 57 were selected from Khorramabad city and divided into two groups of 10: control (C) and whole body vibration training (V). Group V performed these exercises for 12 weeks and three times a week, with a frequency of 30 to 50 Hz, with a range of 1 to 2 mm, applying 20 to 30 minutes of vibration and 5 to 15 minutes of upper and lower limb training. At the beginning and end of the study, blood serum TNF-α and CRP levels were measured using the ELISA method, body fat percentage, body mass index, and body weight. Due to the normality of data distribution, independent t and covariance statistical methods were used for analysis at a significance level of 0.05. Results: 12 weeks of whole body vibration training in group V significantly decreased the serum levels of TNF-α (P=0.0031), CRP (P=0.026), body fat percentage (P=0.041), body mass index (P=0.044) and weight (P=0.047) compared to the control group. Conclusions: It seems that vibration training may reduce inflammation in postmenopausal women with hypothyroidism by reducing body weight and fat levels.
