Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Hypothesis: Patients with COPD undergoing a training program on the whole body vibration show better performance in the 6MWT and improvement in muscle strength.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In COPD, exacerbations worsen the loss of muscle mass, affecting the respiratory and peripheral muscles, exercise capacity and survival rates, and in the case of severe malnutrition in advanced cases of the disease, the implications of this state are disability which occur between 10-15% in those with mild obstruction and 25% in moderate to severe obstructive and are associated with worse prognosis.
The whole body vibration could be an efficient combination of training methods for elderly patients and is based on the generation of sinusoidal vibrations offered by a platform, which stimulates the muscle spindles resulting in activation of neurons α engines and develop muscle contractions, presenting itself as an alternative to conventional treatment for muscular endurance as well as improving physical fitness

WVB Training
whole body vibration
Exercises on the platform will be made in semi-squat position, static. In the first month training will be held for 10 minutes for the exercises on the platform, 30 seconds of vibration of low intensity, interspersed with rest 60 seconds while standing beside the platform. In the second month training will be held for 15 minutes, lasting 60 seconds of vibration and 30 seconds of rest in standing beside the platform. For the first two weeks training will have low intensity and the last two weeks training will have higher vibration. In the third month, training will be held for 20 minutes, 60 seconds of vibration and 30 seconds of rest while standing beside the platform. The intensity of the vibration will be high.
