Conditions

Covid-19

Interventions

30 Patients with a past of coronavirus and will constitute 3 groups with 10 participants each group. For the present test, there will be a whole-body Vibration group trained with an amplitude of 2mm,
Ruan et al., 2008). For the sham group, the platform will be prepared from the external connection of a motor to its base, capable of reproducing the platform's sound, but with a frequency of 8 Hz. Th
