Overview

Brief 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.
