Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-6492-2512 Effects of a short-term whole body vibration intervention on physical fitness in elderly people 2013 We aimed to clarify whether a short-term whole body vibration (WBV) training has a beneficial effect on physical fitness in elderly people. Forty-nine non-institutionalized elderly (75.0 ± 4.7 years) participated in the study. Twenty-four of them trained on a vibration platform for 11 weeks. Physical fitness included balance, lower- and upper-body strength and flexibility, agility, walking speed and endurance. In the WBV group most of the physical tests improved through the intervention (all P < 0.01) while in the control group only an increment was detected in lower-body strength (P < 0.05). In conclusion, a short-term WBV training is beneficial for physical fitness among elderly people. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/IMSERSO/104-07 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/IMSERSO/147-01 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/2008-BIO-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.861 2013 OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY 14 / 78 = 0.179 2013 Q1 T1 GERIATRICS & GERONTOLOGY 16 / 49 = 0.327 2013 Q2 T1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion González-Agüero,A.
