Summary

The purpose of this study is to analyze the immediate and chronic effects of an exercise protocol on the vibration platform on the functional and neuromuscular performance of lower limbs, postural control and life quality in healthy elderly.

Conditions

  • Neuromuscular Performance and Balance

Interventions

OTHER

WBV exercise program

The intervention will consist of a 8-week whole-body vibration exercise program with the platform configured at a frequency of 40 Hz and peak-to-peak amplitude of 4 mm. The sessions will be held 2 times a week, consisting of 4 sets of 1 and a half minutes of exercise on the platform. Rest intervals of 1 minute between sets will be respected.

OTHER

Sham WBV exercise program

The intervention will consist of a 8-week exercise program, but the platform will remain off at all sessions. A device will be attached to the side of the platform in order to produce a sound, similar to the sound produced by the vibrating platform when it is in operation.
