- Abstract
The objective of our study was to evaluate the effects of an exercise program supplemented with vibration training on pain and quality of life in women over 65 years. 52 physically active and independent women, 65 and older, were randomized into two groups: exercise (n = 26) and the same supplemented with vibration training program (n = 26). Both groups per- formed two sessions per week for 12 weeks. Pain through verbal numeric scale and quality of life related to health with the SF-12 questionnaire were evaluated. Statistical significance was set at p < .05. A!er the intervention there were significant changes in pain in the experimental group compared to control and quality of life related to health, both mental and physical dimensions in favor of the group implemented vibrations. Th results suggest that a three-month vibration training as a complement to physical exercise reduces pain and improves quality of life for women over 65.
