Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome1: Increase of peak torque of knee extensors and flexors verified by isokinetic knee evaluation after the intervention period with a isokinetic dinamometer. A from the observation of a variation of at least 10% in the pre and post intervention measurements.;Expected outcome 2: Decreased body oscillation in the assessment of postural balance with the force platform in the standing upright posture after the intervention period. A from the observation of a variation of at least 10% in the pre and post intervention measurements.;Expected outcome 3: Improvement in the execution of functional tests, evaluated through the Timed Up and Go (TUG), for the TUG will run the test faster, getting out of the chair, skirting the cone and returning the chair in less time. A from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post intervention measurements.;Expected outcome 4: Improved performance of performance tests assessed through the Sit to Stand (STS) test, for the STS will more often perform the sit and stand movement during the 30 second evaluation. A from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post intervention measurements.;Expected outcome 5: Improved performance of performance tests assessed by means of the Berg Balance Escale (BBE), ie for BBE will score more in the assessment items, will stay longer in balance. A from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post intervention measurements. | — |

|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Elderly participants of the Strength Group will improve the Strength (verified by isokinetic knee evaluation), postural balance (assessed by the force platform in the standing upright posture), TUG, ESTS and BSE after the intervention.;Expected outcome 2: Elderly participants of the Equilibrium Group will improve the outcomes Strength (verified by isokinetic knee evaluation), postural balance (assessed by the force platform in the standing upright posture) TUG, STS and BSE after the intervention.;Expected outcome 3: Elderly participants in the Control Group will present similar results in the pre and post intervention evaluations (verified by isokinetic knee evaluation), postural balance (assessed by the force platform in quiet standing posture), TUG, ESTS and BSE after the intervention. | — |
