Eligibility

Age
60 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: seniors able to practice physical activity; over 60 years old; able to answer the study questionnaires and perform the proposed tests; have internet access

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Elderly who have or acquire diseases and/or physical-motor and/or intellectual problems and symptoms that make it impossible to apply the questionnaires and/or perform evaluation tests and physical activities; seniors who do not attend at least 75% of classes

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that the elderly in the three experimental groups will show improvements in functionality, mobility (posture, gait and transfer), depressive symptoms and reduced sedentary behavior when compared to the control group, verified by the methods, respectively: Katz Index, Lawton Scale- Brody, Walking Speed Test, Time Up and Go Test, Yesevage Geriatric Depression Scale, and IPAQ. We will see if the proposed intervention is reflected in the scores of these tools

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that the Resistance Exercise protocol has an advantage primarily with regard to improvements in mobility (posture, gait and transfer) when compared to other intervention protocols, evaluated by the Gait Speed, Time Up and Go Test, where a reduction in test execution time is expected, indicating improvement of the evaluated parameter
