Design outcomes

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Usual physical activity: assessed by accelerometers GT3X and GT3X + (Actigraph Pensacola, FL, USA). A significant increase in the level of habitual physical activity is expected in relation to baseline data, after 12 weeks of physical training.;Functional fitness of the lower limbs: assessed by Short Physical Performance Batterry (SPPB) (GURALNIK et al., 1995), composed of three tests (static balance, walking speed and sitting and standing up). The total score is obtained by adding the score of each test, with 0 to 3 points: disability or poor ability; 4 to 6 points: low capacity; 7 to 9 points: moderate capacity and 10 to 12 points: good capacity. Significant improvement in scores is expected in relation to baseline data after 12 weeks of physical training.;Agility and Dynamic Balance: assessed by the Agility and Dynamic Balance Test of the AAHPERD- American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and battery of tests (OSNESS et al., 1990). Significant improvement in capacity compared to baseline data is expected after 12 weeks of physical training.;Aerobic capacity: assessed by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). The result is expressed by the longest distance in meters that the elderly man can cover in 6 minutes. A significant increase in the distance covered in relation to baseline data is expected, after 12 weeks of physical training.;Handgrip: assessed by the handgrip test, using Sahean handheld hydraulic dynamometer. The results are expressed in kg. A significant increase in handgrip strength is expected, compared to baseline data, after 12 weeks of physical training.;Maximum strength and power of knee extensor and flexor muscles: measured by the Biodex System 4 Pro isokinetic dynamometer, with an acquisition frequency of 100 Hz. The results are expressions in peak torque (PK TOQ). A significant increase in the peak torque of the knee extensor and flexor muscles is expected, in relation to baseline data, after 12 weeks of physical training.;607/5000 Po | — |

| Comorbidities: assessed using the Charlson comorbidity index, which considers the presence of 17 clinical conditions and measures the severity of the comorbidities and their effect on the individual's prognosis. A score is established for each clinical condition, with weights ranging from 0 to 6, depending on the worsening of the prognosis. The Charlson index also considers the age group, and for individuals aged 50 and over, 1 point is assigned for each 10-year period of the individual. It was used as an adjustment variable in statistical analysis.;Indications of sarcopenia: assessed by SARC-F (Strength, Assistance in walking, Rise from a chair, Clibing stairs and Falls). This instrument assesses five components: strength, assistance with walking, climbing a chair, climbing stairs and a history of compound falls. The scores vary from 0 to 10, with 0 to 2 points for each component, being: SARC-F less than 4 (without indications of sarcopenia) and SARC-F greater than 4 (with indications of sarcopenia). It was used as an adjustment variable in statistical analysis.;Cognitive status: assessed by MoCA - Montreal Cognitive Assessment) (NASREDDINE et al., 2005). The total score is 30 points; with a score of 26 or more considered normal, from 25 to 19 considered mild cognitive impairment and below 19 cognitive impairment. Used as an adjustment variable in statistical analysis.;Vitamin B12: it was collected using about 10 ml of blood. Two categories were considered for analysis: less than 300pg / ml inadequate levels and greater than 300pg / ml adequate levels. Used as an adjustment variable in statistical analysis.;Vitamin D: it was collected using about 10 ml of blood. For the analysis, two categories were considered: less than 30ng / mL inadequate levels and greater than 30ng / mL adequate levels (MAEDA et al., 2014, KURIACOSE; OLIVE, 2014, HOLICK et al., 2011). Used as an adjustment variable in statistical analysis.;Eating habits: assessed by the Food Frequency Question | — |
