Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) that does not exacerbate the disease, such as whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE), is recommended to improve patient outcomes. Ob-jective: This study will describe a protocol for patients with COPD to assess respiratory parameters in two postures on a vibrating platform (VP). Methods: It will be a randomized controlled clinical trial with blind analysis. COPD patients will be allocated into three groups: Control Group (CG), Sit-ting Group (WBVE-S), and Standing Group (WBVE-ST). The intervention will be 6 weeks in alternating VP, with the same biomechanical parameters. Maximum inspiratory pressures (MIP), and maximum expiratory pressures (MEP), dyspnea, and QoL will be assessed. Discussion: Assess which posture will provide the best clinical results.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û}, author={de S. M.
