Summary

Aging generates immune, muscular and functional changes. In the pre-frail elderly these changes may be increased and, therefore, preventive interventions are indicated to minimize the consequences of sarcopenia in this population. This study aims to evaluate the effects of a whole body vibration training associated with the training of inspiratory muscles on the inflammatory, muscular and body composition outcomes in pre-frail elderly women.

Conditions

• Frail Elderly Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	WBV + IMT	The whole body vibration training will be performed through a vibrating platform with three axes and vibration frequency set at 35 Hz. The amplitude used will be 02 to 04 mm.The inspiratory muscle training will be performed through a device that provides inspiratory resistance.
OTHER	WBV + IMTsham	The whole body vibration training will be performed through a vibrating platform with three axes and vibration frequency set at 35 Hz. The amplitude used will be 02 to 04 mm.The inspiratory muscle training sham will be performed through a device without inspiratory resistance.
OTHER	WBVsham + IMTsham	Whole body vibration training will be performed through a vibrating platform coupled to a device that generates non-therapeutic low frequency vibration. The simulation of inspiratory muscle training will be performed through a device with no inspiratory resistance.
