Eligibility

Age
60 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Volunteers aged 60 or over; with self-reported ability to walk at normal speed for 150 meters or more, without sitting or using support; physically active according to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Sedentary volunteers; with severe cognitive impairment suggestive of dementia according to the Mini Mental State Examination; with significant or chronic orthopedic pain and joint deformities.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1 - Increased mobility determined by the Timed Up and Go Test; from the finding of less time spent to perform the test after the interventions.;Outcome found 1 - Increased mobility, contacted by the reduction in the time spent to perform the test after the interventions.;Expected outcome 2 - Increased ability to perform a double task determined by the modified Timed up and go test with a dual motor and cognitive task.;Outcome found 2 - Increase in the ability to perform a double task, as evidenced by the reduction in the time to perform the modified tests after the interventions.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 3 - Improvement in the balance determined by the Berg Balance Scale (BSE), based on the finding of an increase in the scale score.;Outcome found 3 - Improvement in balance determined by the increase in the Berg Balance Scale score.;Expected outcome 4 - Improvement in physical performance determined by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test battery; from the increase in the battery score.;Outcome found 4 - Improvement in physical performance verified by the increase in the score obtained by the SPPB battery.;Expected outcome 5 - Reduced fear of falling as determined by the Fall Effectiveness Scale (FES I), based on the finding of a reduction in the scale.;Outcome found 5 - Reduced fear of falling as evidenced by a reduction found on the FES scale.;Expected outcome 6 - Increase in muscle strength determined by the force dynamometer to collect the Palmar Grip Force (FPP); from the finding of increased grip capacity in kilogram strength.;Outcome found 6 - Reduction of muscle strength, evidenced by a reduction in grip capacity (KgF).;Expected outcome 7 - Improvement in respiratory conditioning determined by manovacuometry; from the increase in Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (PImax) and Maximum Expiratory Pressure (PEmax) after interventions.;Outcome found 7 - Increase in maximal expiratory pressure and maintenance of maximal inspiratory pressure.;Expected outcome 8 - Improvement in flexibility determined by the distance from the floor (DC); from the measurement (cm) made between the fingertip and the floor with a participant positioned in trunk flexion.;Outcome found 8- Improvement in flexibility after the intervention, evidenced by an approximation (decreased distance) of the finger in relation to the ground.;Expected outcome 9 - Improvement of cognitive function, determined by specific tests to the professional psychologist; from the increase in test scores.;Outcome found 9 - Improvement of cognitive function, evidenced by the increase in the
