Evaluation of Clinical, Metabolic, and Physical-functional Effects of Systemic Vibratory Therapy in Metabolic Syndrome

The interventions were performed on a vibratory platform with side-alternating displacement of the base (Novaplate Fitness Evolution model, DAF Produtos Hospitalares Ltda, São Paulo). The individual was positioned barefoot, with knees flexed at 130º on the base of the vibratory platform. The protocol was performed over a 6-week period with 2 weekly sessions, totaling 12 sessions. The frequency was 5-16Hz according the protocol, and the peak-to-peak displacement was 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mm in all sessions. During the protocol, the individuals performed static and dynamic squats, with one static and one dynamic session (interleaved). The variables were evaluated before and after the interventions.
