Summary

this study aims evaluate the ergospirometric values after 03 months of training with WBV in elderly health people. The hypothesis is increases of ergospirometric values.

Conditions

• Aging

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	WBV and Resistance	use of WBV and resistance device during 03 months in elderly health people. The WBV used progressive increases of time and amplitude and the resistance training improves the weight. For Resistance: performed in upper and lower limbs in weight machine Mega II Movement®, used guidelines from American College of Sports Medicine for elderly, with two series of 08 repetitions (75% weight of one RM), considered for RM calculation the maximum voluntary isometric contraction. For WBV: used MY3 platform (Power Plate®, MY3, UK) frequency 35 hertz, tri-axial, amplitude 02 mm in adaptation and initial phases, increasing to 04 mm in phases intermediate and final. The time initial was 10 minutes, progressed to 15 min in second month, concluding with 20 min. Rest time between series remained 01 min.
DEVICE	resistance & sham WBV	used only resistance For Resistance: performed in upper and lower limbs in weight machine Mega II Movement®, used guidelines from American College of Sports Medicine for elderly, with two series of 08 repetitions (75% weight of one RM), considered for RM calculation the maximum voluntary isometric contraction. For WBV: used MY3 platform (Power Plate®, MY3, UK)off.
DEVICE	WBV & resistance sham	used really the WBV, but sham for resistance training For Resistance: performed similar movments in upper and lower limbs in weight machine Mega II Movement®, without using weights. For WBV: used MY3 platform (Power Plate®, MY3, UK) frequency 35 hertz, tri-axial, amplitude 02 mm in adaptation and initial phases, increasing to 04 mm in phases intermediate and final. The time initial was 10 minutes, progressed to 15 min in second month, concluding with 20 min. Rest time between series remained 01 min.
