Interventions
Strength Stability Training:
The training will be conducted with 40 healthy elderly women (age 60 and older), randomly divided into four groups, with ten participants in each group (training at 5% of
control group). Training will be performed once a week for four weeks (4 training sessions in total). At each training session, the participant must maintain the isometric flexural strength of the pla

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the strength stability training protocol of the plantar flexor muscles (performed at low intensities: 5% and 10% of maximal voluntary contraction) to be used to reduce force variability for musicians as to decrease the displacement of the within Pressure of the elderly. The training protocol is also expected, however, use a press platform, present satisfactory results and become an easily accessible tool for the population.;In general, all the training protocols were able to better the variability of the strength of the plantar flexor muscles, but ended up generating an increase in the center of pressure displacement of the participants. | — |
