Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Volunteers aged 60 years and over with osteopenia or osteoporosis, in a natural postmenopausal period, with at least 12 months of the last menstrual interval who did not undergo hormonal therapy until 3 months before the study; Do not practice aerobic training; Insufficiently active and functionally independent. The volunteers who do not have obstructive artery diseases of the lower limbs (DAOMI) with ABI between 0.91 and 1.30; Osteomyelitis associated with intense pain, cardiorespiratory pain that make it impossible to perform physical activity, neoplasias, renal disease. Non-users of drugs that interfere with bone metabolism, non-smokers and those who do not use alcohol regularly will also be included.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Volunteers who have a frequency of less than 85%; Those who give up and those who present osteomyelitis pain or dysfunction during the exercise protocol.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Bone mineral density is expected to remain stable after the intervention period (6 months), while bone and neuromuscular variables are expected to improve (1) through bone densitometry examination (2) osteocalcin examination (3) eletromiography (4) functional tests (5) Static and dynamic balance. For the Dexa exam two measurements will be done, initially and after 6 months of intervention. For all other evaluations / measurements, it will be done initially with 3 months and 6 months of intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that the subjective perception of effort decreases and that the perception of pleasure / displeasure due to chronic intervention increases (1) borg scale from 0 to 10 (2) affectivity scale. For the Borg scale, every training session will be measured (for 6 months). For affectivity scale, it will be measured in the first week of each month throughout the intervention.
