Oxygen Consumption After Acute Whole Body Vibration Session

Acute Effects on Oxygen Consumption and Blood Flow After a Single Session of Whole Body Vibration

Noninvasive assessment of VO2 during a single session of whole body vibration and changes in blood flow caused by the acute activity.

A single whole body vibration session into two groups, a young adults groups and elderly group, booth healthy, will be held with concomitant collection of VO2 consumed during the session, by MetaMax cortex. Immediately after the session, it will be checked peripheral blood flow through US surface in color Doppler mode.

Inclusion Criteria:

• healthy young adults (between 20 to 30 years) and healthy elderly (between 60 to 74 years), sedentary according International Physical Activity Questionnaire.
