Targeting Sarcopenia and Frailty: Multicomponent Exercise With Focal Muscle Vibration

"The focal vibration machine will be used. The device has 6 muted transducers that generate power between 30-300 Hz, but for this study we will use between 100-150 Hz for 30 minutes.~The application of the 6 transducers or heads is at the level of the lower extremities, since those muscle groups present the most clinical correlation with functional parameters such as gait and balance. 3 transducers will be placed on one leg (vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and rector anterior) and the other 3 transducers on the other leg, on the same muscles. To speed up the intervention program and cover more participants, 4 focal vibration machines will be used. Each participant wil use 1 machine and 6 transducers, so during the 30 minutes that the intervention lasted, the groups will be of 4 participants with t"

The program consists of a multi-component approach, integrating aerobics, resistance, and balance training. The weekly schedule include three intervention days: one day focused on aerobic exercise, one day dedicated to resistance training and one day centered on balance training. The combined program is individualized based on the intrinsic capabilities of each individual.
