Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| An improvement in the modification of frailty status in older adults is expected, with a minimum reduction of 1.62 points, which will be assessed using the Fried et al. (2001) scale at baseline and after 24 weeks of bodyweight interval training | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate the responses of bodyweight interval training on physical-functional capacity after 24 weeks of intervention in older adults, which will be assessed by isometric leg extension and elbow flexion strength (Hand-Held Dynamometer), the five-time sit-to-stand test, the timed up and go (TUG) test, and gait speed ;Evaluate the effect of interval training with body weight on cardiohemodynamic responses (blood pressure, heart rate) assessed by automatic sphygmomanometer during 24 weeks of intervention.;Evaluate the responses of interval training with body weight on body composition after 24 weeks, established by the InBODY 120 bioimpedance method, which determines fat-free mass and body fat in kg and their respective percentages in the upper limbs, lower limbs, and trunk | — |
