whole body vibration, muscle strength, muscle mass, older peopleAbstract
Introduction: The vibration training may be an option for optimal intervention to prevent muscle loss in older adults.
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of vibration training in the neuromuscular system of the elderly.
Methods: Literature review in Medline, CINAHL, WOS and PEDro data by combining the descriptors of Medical Subject Headings concerning vibration training, muscle strength, muscle mass and seniors.
Results: Studies located on the vibration training in older people were done as either the only intervention, or in combination with other strength exercises, aerobic, balance or flexibility. The diversity of protocols hinders comparison between studies.
Conclusion: WBV training proves to be a healthy method, adequate and effective in the strength of the elderly population, but with similar results to conventional resistance exercise.
