Eligibility

Age

60 Years to 100 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 60 years of age or over; Medical releasing to the moderate physical exercise practice; Normal Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scoring (adjusted for schooling).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Neurological diseases such as previous stroke, balance and coordination disorders due to cerebellopathy or labyrinthitis; Presence of musculoskeletal disordrs that limited to physical exercise; In use of drugs that act on the central nervous system at doses that may compromise cognitive or functional performance.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Improved performance in dual task and balance, measured using the Mini-BESTest instrument (Mini Balance Evaluation Systems Test), improved cognitive functions of attention, memory and reaction time, measured through semantic and phonological verbal fluency, CERAD word list and the PEBL (Psychology Experiment Building Language) software, bringing health benefits to the elderly and decreasing the risk of falls. All tests will be performed at the beginning and end of the study.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
It is expected to decrease cardiovascular risks assessed by body fat indexes, waist-height index, body mass index, waist-hip risk, and proportionality of body composition through Bioimpedance. Improvement of the assessed physical fitness variables (muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness) is expected through dynamometry assessment, sit and stand test and 6-minute walk test. All tests will be performed at the beginning and at the end of the study.	—
