Summary

Introduction: Osteoporosis and Osteopenia are common bone disorders, characterized by low bone mass, signs of bone deterioration and are responsible for typical bone fragility. Physical activity is certainly a valid prevention tool because it contributes to a healthy energy balance, increasing muscle mass and providing beneficial effects in bone metabolism. Stress induced by more vigorous activities such as weight lifting, increases the risk of injury, particularly in the elderly. Therefore, alternative strategies with lower risk of injury are indicated such as whole body vibration and walk. Objective: Compare the effect whole body vibration and walking on muscular strength, balance and functional performance in the elderly with Osteoporosis and Osteopenia Methods: It is a clinical trial study, controlled, parallel, randomized and blind, which will follow the guidelines established in the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). Participants will be randomly distributed in 2 groups: the experimental group (GI) that will hold the training in the vibrating platform and the control group (GC) that will perform the walk, settling 1 treatment session. All participants will be subjected to the initial and final assessment.

Conditions

• Osteoporosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Training in the vibrating platform	20-minute workout will be held, which will include: heating (5 minutes and stretching for the muscles quadriceps and sural triceps), 10 and 5 min of cooling.
OTHER	Walk	Will be held 30 minutes of training, which will include the heating (5 minutes of stretching for the muscles quadriceps and sural triceps), 10 and 5 min of cooling.
