Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time 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
| Measure | Time 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 | — |
