Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The principal hypothesis is that whole-body vibration training plus exercise improves the body balance and prevents falls more than only exercise training in institutionalized older people. The number needed of patients is 160 (80 per group).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Exercise with Whole-body vibration platform
Exercise with Whole-body vibration (WBV) platform (Power Plate®). The participants will perform static/dynamic exercises (balance and resistance training) on a vibratory platform (Frequency: 30-35 Hz; Amplitude: 2-4 mm). Training volume and intensity we will increase systematically over six weeks according to the overload principle.

The participants will perform static/dynamic exercises (balance and resistance training) on a vibratory platform (Frequency: 30-35 Hz; Amplitude: 2-4 mm).
Exercise
The participants will perform the same static/dynamic exercises (balance and resistance training) like WBV group but without the vibration stimuli, during a six weeks training period (3sessions/week). Training volume and intensity we will increase systematically over six weeks according to the overload principle
Exercise
The participants will perform the same static/dynamic exercises (balance and resistance training) like WBV group but without the vibration stimuli.
