Vibrations produced in oscillating/vibratory platform generate whole body vibration (WBV) exercises, which are important in sports, as well as in treating diseases, promoting rehabilitation, and improving the quality of life. WBV exercises relevantly increase the muscle strength, muscle power, and the bone mineral density, as well as improving the postural control, the balance, and the gait. An important number of publications are found in the PubMed database with the keyword “flexibility” and eight of the analyzed papers involving WBV and flexibility reached a level of evidence II. The biggest distance between the third finger of the hand to the floor (DBTFF) of a patient with metabolic syndrome (MS) was found before the first session and was considered to be 100%. The percentages to the other measurements in the different sessions were determined to be related to the 100%. It is possible to see an immediate improvement after each session with a decrease of the %DBTFF. As the presence of MS is associated with poorer physical performance, a simple and safe protocol using WBV exercises promoted an improvement of the flexibility in a patient with MS.

“…Moreover, several investigations in the current literature have shown that individuals with the MetS display lower muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness 11–14. Additionally, it has been shown that elderly women with the MetS presented lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL), higher glucose, creatine kinase, C-reactive protein, and triglycerides as compared with elderly women without the MetS, reinforcing the findings of metabolic disturbance in older people with the MetS 13. However, to the best of our knowledge, no previous study has been designed to compare the physical performance and metabolic parameters in elderly women with and without the MetS.…”

PurposeTo compare the metabolic parameters, flexibility, muscle strength, functional capacity, and lower limb muscle power of elderly women with and without the metabolic syndrome (MetS).MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 28 older women divided into two groups: with the MetS (n = 14; 67.3 ± 5.5 years; 67.5 ± 16.7 kg; 1.45 ± 0.35 m; 28.0 ± 7.6 kg/m2), and without the MetS (n = 14; 68.7 ± 5.3 years; 58.2 ± 9.9 kg; 1.55 ± 0.10 m; 24.3 ± 3.8 kg/m2). Body composition was evaluated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and dynamic muscle strength was assessed by one-maximum repetition (1RM) tests in leg press, bench press and biceps curl exercises. Six-minute walk test, Timed Up and Go (TUG); 30-second sitting-rising; arm curl using a 2-kg dumbbell, sit-and-reach (flexibility), and vertical jump tests were performed.ResultsThere was no difference between groups regarding age (P = 0.49), height (P = 0.46), body fat (%) (P = 0.19), systolic (P = 0.64), diastolic (P = 0.41) and mean blood pressure (P = 0.86), 30-second sitting-rising (P = 0.57), 30-s arm curl (P = 0.73), leg press 1RM (P = 0.51), bench press 1RM (P = 0.77), and biceps curl 1RM (P = 0.85). However, women without the MetS presented lower body mass (P = 0.001), body mass index (BMI) (P = 0.0001), waist circumference (P = 0.02), waist-to-height ratio (P = 0.02), fat body mass (kg) (P = 0.05), lean body mass (kg) (P = 0.02), blood glucose (P = 0.05), triglycerides (P = 0.03), Z-score for the MetS (P = 0.05), higher high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) (P = 0.002), better performance on TUG (P = 0.01), flexibility (P = 0.03), six-minute walk test (P = 0.04), vertical jump (P = 0.05) and relative muscle strength for leg press (P = 0.03), bench press (P = 0.04) and biceps curl (P = 0.002) exercises as compared to women with the MetS.ConclusionElderly women with the MetS have higher metabolic risk profile and lower functional capacity, muscle strength, lower limb power and flexibility as compared to women without the MetS. The evaluation of functional capacity may help to determine the degree of physical decline in older persons with the MetS, while exercise interventions should be encouraged.

“…Os resultados encontrados pelos autores foram similares ao do presente estudo, no qual mulheres com SM apresentam menor força muscular relativa quando comparado às mulheres sem SM. Farias et al (2013) analisaram a força muscular (10 repetições máximas na cadeira extensora) de idosas com e sem SM. Os autores demonstraram que, além de possuírem piores escores de risco cardiovascular, as mulheres com SM apresentavam menor força muscular relativa quando comparadas às idosas sem SM.…”

Qualidade de vida e síndrome metabólica em mulheres brasileiras: análise da correlação com a aptidão aeróbia e a força muscular Quality of life and metabolic syndrome in Brazilian women: analysis of the correlation with aerobic fitness and muscle strength ARTIGO ORIGINAL | ORIGINAL ARTICLE RESUMOA síndrome metabólica (SM) é definida pela presença de, ao menos três, dentre cinco fatores de risco cardiovascular: hiperglicemia, resistência à insulina, obesidade, dislipidemia e pressão arterial elevada. Embora portadores de SM apresentem baixa aptidão física e pior qualidade de vida (QV), quando comparado aos indivíduos sem SM, ainda não foram investigadas as correlações entre a aptidão física e a QV em mulheres com SM. O objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar a QV, força muscular e aptidão aeróbia, bem como analisar a correlação entre a QV e a aptidão física de mulheres com e sem SM. Participaram do estudo 49 mulheres, 21 com SM (33.5 ± 9.1 anos) e 28 sem SM (32.3 ± 7.9 anos). Para avaliação da QV, aptidão aeróbia e força muscular foram utilizados, respectivamente, o questionário Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36), o teste de caminhada de 6 minutos (6-C) e o teste de preensão manual. As mulheres com SM apresentaram pior QV, percorreram menor distância no 6-C e obtiveram menor força muscular relativa. Foi observada correlação positiva entre a aptidão aeróbia e quatro domínios da QV: capacidade funcional, limitação por aspectos físicos, dor e aspectos sociais da funcionalidade. Mulheres com SM apresentam menor de força muscular e aptidão aeróbia, bem como piores escores de QV no estado de saúde geral, capacidade funcional, dor no corpo, limitação por aspectos emocionais, aspectos sociais da funcionalidade e limitação por aspectos físicos quando comparado com mulheres sem SM.Palavras-chaves: Síndrome Metabólica, Aptidão Física, Qualidade de Vida, Doenças Cardiovasculares ABSTRACT The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined as the presence of at least three out of five cardiovascular risk factors: hiperglicemia, insulin resistance, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia and elevated blood pressure. Subjects with MetS still present worse perception of quality of life (QL) and low physical fitness as compared with subjects without MetS. However, correlations between physical fitness and QL have not been investigated in subjects with MetS. The aim of the present study was to compare the QL, muscle strength and aerobic fitness, as well as to analyse the correlatation between the QL and physical fitness in women with and without MetS. Forty-nine women, 21 with MetS (33.5 ± 9.1 years) and 28 without MetS (32.3 ± 7.9 years) were studied. Perception of QL, physical fitness and muscle strength were evaluated by the Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36), the distance covered in the 6 minute walk test (6MWT), and the handgrip test, respectively. Women with MetS presented worse perception of QL, covered a lower distance during the 6MWT and exhibited lower relative muscle strength. Additionally there was a positive correlation of aerobic f...
