Abstract (2. Language): 
The objective of the present study was to analyze the effect of exercises in active elderly performed on the vibratory platform, in relation to the balance indirectly, through the stimulation of the mechanoreceptors in order to prevent falls. A prospective experimental study was carried out with nine elderly individuals between 60 and 75 years of age, of both genders. It was initially assessed: Quality of Life, through the SF-36 Questionnaire; The equilibrium by means of the functional tests Timed UP and Go (TUG) and Berg Balance Scale (BERG); for the function of the mechanoreceptors the Joint Positional In Sence (JPS) and Proprioceptive Sensitivity Topognosia (PST) tests were used. They were submitted to ten exercises for lower limbs (LL), upper limbs (UL) and stretching over the Vibratory Platform (FIT4 VP-200), totaling ten sessions, performed twice a week. The results were described by average, standard deviation and percentages, using the Wilcoxon test to compare the BERG, JPS and SF-36 domains (VIT, AE and SM); for the TGSIA and the other domains of the SF-36, the t-Students test was used. Thus, it has been concluded that the exercises on the Vibratory Platform benefit the elderly by improving the muscular condition, through the performance in the mechanoreceptors, indirectly improving the balance and as a consequence the quality of life.
