Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome : to evaluate the muscle mass increase after functional training in sarcopenic elderly ; Evaluation method : bioimpedance quadrupole brand inbody 720 for body composition analysis with emphasis on the following parameters : muscle mass , fat-free mass ; Presentation of the method: the test will be performed before starting the intervention and at the end of the process (after 12 weeks). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome : to evaluate the increase of muscle strength after functional training sarcopenic elderly ; Evaluation method : will be held the handgrip test following the protocol of the American Society of Hand Therapists ( SATM ) through a dynamometer JAMAR brand , in addition to the short physical battery performance ( SPPB ) to estimate force especially in the lower limbs ( see attachments) ; Presentation of the method: the test will be performed before starting the intervention process and the end (after 12 weeks).;Expected outcome : to evaluate the effect on muscle performance after functional training sarcopenic elderly especially for activities of daily living ( basic , instrumental and even advanced) ; Evaluation method : will be held the Barthel index for the assessment of activities of daily living (see attachments) , in addition to up and go team ( TUG ) where the elderly should get up from a chair walk three meters and return to the point incicial to assess mobility and balance, as well as risk of falls ; Presentation of the method: the test will be performed before starting the intervention process and the end (after 12 weeks). | — |
