Clinical Trial Summary

The pre-frail elderly are a population more vulnerable to diminished functionality and future disabilities. Thus, interventions focused on the prevention of sarcopenia are indicated to prevent dysfunction in this population. This study aims to evaluate the effects of whole body vibration training associated with inspiratory muscle training on functional outcomes, balance and muscle metabolism in pre-frail elderly women.

Intervention

Other:
• WBV + IMT
The whole body vibration training will be performed through a vibrating platform with three axes and vibration frequency set at 35 Hz. The amplitude used will be 02 to 04 mm.The inspiratory muscle training will be performed through a device that provides inspiratory resistance.
• WBV + IMTsham
The whole body vibration training will be performed through a vibrating platform with three axes and vibration frequency set at 35 Hz. The amplitude used will be 02 to 04 mm.The inspiratory muscle training sham will be performed through a device without inspiratory resistance.
• WBVsham + IMTsham
Whole body vibration training will be performed through a vibrating platform coupled to a device that generates non-therapeutic low frequency vibration. The simulation of inspiratory muscle training will be performed through a device with no inspiratory resistance.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Walking Distance	The walking distance will be assessed through the six-minute walk test.	Change from Baseline walking distance at 3 months
Secondary	Balance	Static balance and dynamic balance will be evaluated through the Tinetti test	Change from Baseline balance at 3 months
Secondary	Functionality	It will be evaluated through the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test.	Change from Baseline functionality at 3 months
Secondary	Hand grip strength	The strength of the dominant hand will be evaluated by dynamometry.	Change from Baseline hand grip strength at 3 months
Secondary	Muscle Metabolism	It will be assessed through the blood lactate and glucose rate after moderate physical activity.	Change from Baseline muscle metabolism at 3 months
