Whole-Body Vibration Increases Cardiopulmonary Performance in the Elderly: A Randomized Double-Blind Clinical Trial
Aim:
To evaluate the effects of whole-body vibration (WBV) on ergospirometric variables in the elderly.
Methods:
A total of 31 elderly people were randomly assigned to 1 of the 3 groups—resistance, WBV, WBV + resistance—training twice per week, 3 months, evaluating ventilatory thresholds by ergospirometry and peripheral strength.
Results:
WBV groups increased
