| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Muscular performance. To verify the effect of virtual reality training on the performance of strength and muscle mass of community sarcopenic elderly women. The elderly that will perform the treatment with the Virtual Reality, will present gain or will avoid loss of muscle mass. The muscle mass will be evaluated from the densitometry.;Risk of falls. To verify the effect of the use of virtual reality as training for the balance and reduction of the risk of falls in the elderly sarcopênicas. With the training of balance with the use of virtual reality, the elderly will present a lower risk of fall, due to improvement of the vestibular system. The equilibrium will be evaluated from the following instruments: Berg scale and SPBB and the risk of falling through the FES-I | — |
