Abstract
Whole Body Vibration (WBV) intervention has been used to further improve muscle activity and the performance of various disorders. Some studies show that the complete activation of the muscle by WBV can lead to fatigue of the motor unit and, consequently, an increase in muscle strength. It is known that physical exercise promotes glycemic control in diabetic individuals and the beneficial effect is likely to be multifactorial, including increased energy expenditure. In addition, resistance and/or strength exercises can improve gait speed, balance and muscle strength in patients with type 2 diabetes and the elderly with osteoporosis. However, some of these patients, due to clinical conditions and/or possible complications, are unable or unwilling to perform the exercises at the intensities necessary to achieve satisfactory results. In this sense, the training of whole body vibration leads us to develop protocols complementary to a traditional exercise program.
