Brief summary
The current study aims to determine the effect of a multidomain intervention (physical fitness, motivational and cognitive training) on body composition, sarcopenia, cardiovascular health, physical fitness, functional capacity, quality of life, frailty, emotional state and cognitive status in elderly participants, through a randomized controlled trial, to determine its suitability and recommend it as a preventive and health strategy for community-dwelling older adults.
Interventions
PROCEDUREMultidomain training
The training program has a duration of 18 weeks with 2 training sessions per week. The training will have a gradual progression of intensity. One day they train two blocks of strength and one block of cognitive exercises and on the second day, they train one block of power, one block of strength+cognitive and one block of aerobic training. All sessions are 60 minutes long (10 minutes of warm-up, 40 minutes of training and 10 minutes of cool-down). Classes are in small groups of no more than 8 members.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Body Weight in Kilograms | Change from Baseline body weight (kg) at 18 weeks | was measured after removal of shoes and heavy outer clothing, using a Tanita BC-418 MA or InBody equipment to the nearest 0.1 kg. |
| Height in Meters | Change from Baseline standing height (cm) at 18 weeks | Standing height without shoes was measured using a Seca 202 stadiometer (Seca, Hamburg, Germany) to the nearest 0.1 cm. |
| Body Mass Index (BMI) | Change from Baseline Body Mass Index (BMI): (kg/m^2) at 18 weeks | was calculated as the ratio of weight to squared height in kg/m\^2 |
| % Fat Mass | Change from Baseline bioelectrical impedance % fat mass at 18 weeks | % fat mass was measured after removal of shoes and heavy outer clothing, using a Tanita BC-418 MA or InBody equipment to the nearest 0.1 kg. |
| Muscle quality sarcopenia | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | Sarcopenia will be assessed taking into account the reference values established for muscle quality. The muscle quality will be measure by hand grip strength test. This test will be performance with manual dynamometry (TKK 5401; Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Maximal isometric upper limb strength will be performance by maximal isometric strength. Upper strength will be register by kilogrammes. Higher value show high strength. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change heart rate | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | Heart rate will be assessed by means of an automatic device (Colin BP 880, Inc., Tampa, FL). This is noninvasive technique. The result will be register in number of pulse per minutes (heart rate). |
| Gait speed | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | Gait speed will be measure by 4. 6 and 10 meter test. This is easy physical test in with the participant have to walk 4. 6 and 10 metres as faster as possible. The result will be register in seconds. Less time indicates better functional ability. |
| Time up and go test change | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | Time up and go test measure the functional capacity of getting up, walking and sitting down form a chair. Participant have to performance this test as faster as possible. This is a easy physical test. Total seconds are records. Less seconds indicates better functional ability. |
| Short physical performance battery (SPPB) | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | Short physical performance battery (SPBB) include three test (balance, chair stand test and gait speed) and report a final score. Chair stand test and gait speed were describe in other outcome. Balance test is a easy physical test. The participant must maintain three balancing positions for 10 seconds to overcome it. Each test offers a different score. Higher score show better functional capacity. |
| Fragility | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | Frailty will be defined in relation to Fried's frailty phenotype (Fried et al., 2001), based on 5 criteria: unintentional weight loss, exhaustion, weakness, slow walking speed and low physical activity. |
| Change Blood pressure | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | Blood pressure and heart rate will be assessed by means of an automatic device (Colin BP 880, Inc., Tampa, FL). This is noninvasive technique. The result will be register in millimeters of mercury (bood pressure) and number of pulse per minutes (heart rate). |
| Depression | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | Depression will be measured through the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale-Revised (CESD-R) (Van Dam & Earleywine, 2011), is a 20-item questionnaire that can be used to measure levels of depressive symptoms among elderly participants. The CESD-R consists of 16 items of negative affect and 4 items of positive affect. |
| Cognitive flexibility | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | the Stroop test measures the ability to classify information selectively. It consists of 3 phases and requires discerning between colors and words without making mistakes. |
| Attention test | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | the Trail Making test will also assess flexibility of thought and visuospatial ability. It consists of joining numbers and words in a numerical sequence without error. |
| PSQ test | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | To evaluate the factors that influence the general state of health, specifically stress. It evaluates six factors: Tension-Instability-Fatigue; Social Acceptance of Conflict; Energy and Fun; Overload; Satisfaction for self-fulfillment; Fear and anxiety. |
| TMMS-24 | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | Trait-Meta Mood Scale (TMMS) emotional states |
| Satisfaction with life | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | The Satisfaction with Life Scale is a 4-item instrument with a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 7 points measuring overall subjective happiness by means of statements in which participants rate themselves or compare themselves with others. Two items ask people to describe themselves using absolute rating criteria of their lives or rating criteria with respect to others, while the other two items present brief descriptions of happy or unhappy people and respondents are asked to indicate the degree to which they identify with that description. |
| Change Chair stand test | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | Chair stand test measure the functional capacity. This is a easy physical test. This test measures the functionality of getting up and sitting down from a chair five times. The participant have to performance the test as faster as possible. The total time is recorded in seconds. A better time indicates better functional ability. |
| Change Upper and Lower strength | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | Maximal isometric upper limb strength will be performance by maximal isometric strength of knee extension and biceps flexion with load cell. Maximal isometric lower limb will be registered in newton. Higher value show high strength. |
| Health-related quality | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | SF-36 quality of life questionnaire |
| Cardiorrespiratory 6 minutes walk test | Change from Baseline to 18 weeks | cardiorespiratory endurance test that evaluates the distance covered in 6 minutes. |
