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 JOURNAL/tgere/04.02/00013614-201810000-00003/math_3MM1/v/2018-10-28T120157Z/r/image-png O2 after training when compared to the resistance group (25.2 ± 1.6 in WBV with P
