Over the years, changes in body composition occur, with accelerated loss of lean mass and increased fat mass, favoring cardiometabolic disorders. A strong relationship exists between physical inactivity and the presence of multiple risk factors for MetS. Thus, physical exercise has been recommended for the prevention of cardio-vascular, chronic and MetS diseases. Whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise can be considered to be an exercise modality that benefits the muscular strength and cardiovascular health of elderly, sick and healthy people. Individuals with MetS are unmotivated to perform physical exercise regularly and, therefore, new approaches to intervention for this population are desirable. Objectives: The aim of this study is to present a protocol to verify the effect of WBV exercise on the body composition of MetS individuals. Methods: Randomized con-trolled trial with MetS individuals that will be allocated to an intervention group (WBVG) and a control group (CG). Partici-pants will be placed barefoot on the base of a side alternating vibrating platform, with 130º knee flexion. Individuals (WBVG and CG) will perform the protocol for 12 weeks, twice a week. The CG subjects will perform the exercises at 5Hz throughout the intervention and those from the WBVG will perform the 5Hz exercises in the first session, adding 1Hz per session, ending the protocol at 16Hz. </p>}, number={1}, journal={Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û}, author={S.
