Effects of WBV Associated With IMT on Inflammatory Markers, Body Composition, Muscle Strength and Thickness

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Frail Elderly Syndrome

• Registration Number: NCT03689322
• Lead Sponsor: Universidade Federal de Pernambuco

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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Respiratory Muscle Strength and Resistance	Change from Baseline respiratory muscle strength and resistance at 3 months	Maximum Inspiratory and Expiratory Pressure will be evaluated through manovacuometer

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Inflammatory markers	Change from Baseline inflammatory markers at 3 months	Blood concentration of Interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) will be assessed through blood plasma sample.
Diaphragmatic thickness	Change from Baseline diaphragmatic thickness at 3 months	Ultrasound will to use to evaluate diaphragm thickness non-invasively in the zone of apposition during tidal breathing and with changes in lung volume.
Body Composition	Change from Baseline body composition at 3 months	Body composition will be evaluated through bioimpedance balance
Thickness of the quadriceps muscle	Change from Baseline thickness of the quadriceps muscle at 3 months	Ultrasound will be used to assess the thickness of the quadriceps muscle according to the pre-established protocol.
Diaphragmatic mobility	Change from Baseline diaphragmatic mobility at 3 months	During respiration to total lung capacity, measurement of the diaphragmatic excursion will be assessed by ultrasonography.
