Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the effects of increased muscle mass obtained through water-resisted exercise on cognitive, inflammatory, and redox biology parameters, balance, level of physical activity, and genetics at different levels of sarcopenia. It is expected that these will evolve positively from the finding of a variation of at least 10% in the measurements before and after 6 months of intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find an increase in muscle mass density, measured by the X-ray Double Densitometry (DEXA) method, from the finding of a variation of at least 10% in measurements before and after 6 months of intervention. | — |
