Conditions

  • Aging

Interventions

DEVICE

Exercise with Whole-body vibration platform

The participants will perform static/dynamic exercises (balance and resistance training) on a vibratory platform (Frequency: 30-35 Hz; Amplitude: 2-4 mm).

OTHER

Exercise

The participants will perform the same static/dynamic exercises (balance and resistance training) like WBV group but without the vibration stimuli.
