Summary

Diabetes generates a great impact on society, as well as a concern for health professionals due to its high and increasing prevalence; there are more and more studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of vibration platforms and their benefits at a physiological level. The objective is to analyze the decrease in glycosylated hemoglobin and glycemia levels after the use of whole body vibration platforms and the possible inclusion of this therapeutic option within the usual treatments.The sample will be composed of people diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the Plasencia area (Cáceres, Extremadura). Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention or control group using a randomization list and will follow the inclusion criteria: healthy type 2 diabetics between 50 and 60 years of age and not taking diabetes medication. All participants will undergo a determination of glycosylated hemoglobin, blood pressure, lipid profile, weight and height, and different functional tests such as TUG, 10MMT, 5STS. The experimental group will perform a full body vibration intervention on an oscillating platform for 12 weeks with a weekly frequency of 3 non-consecutive days and a duration of 12 minutes. The exercises will consist of 60 seconds of work and 60 seconds with rest. The control group will carry out their normal life insisting on the importance of glycemic controls before and after their daily physical exercise.
