Brief Summary

The whole body vibration offers better treatment adherence among the elderly, minimizing effort and additional stress to the cardiovascular system and skeletal muscles compared to conventional exercise programs. Hypothesis: Patients with COPD undergoing a training program on the whole body vibration show better performance in the 6MWT and improvement in muscle strength.

Conditions

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Keywords

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); Muscle strenght; Aged

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Walked distance in 6MWT

  Change from baseline in distance walked test 6-minute walk test at 3 months.

  Increase in distance walked at baseline and 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Respiratory muscle strength

  Change from baseline in respiratory muscle strength at 3 months

Study Arms (1)

WVB Training

EXPERIMENTAL

Other: whole body vibration

Interventions

whole body vibration OTHER

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.
