Eligibility
Age
60 Years to 80 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Active elderly people who do physical activity according to the IPAQ (short form) will be included, a questionnaire that aims to carry out a global survey of the prevalence of physical activity in the world (MATSUDO et al, 2001) (ANNEX B). They must be elderly people over 60 years of age who live in the city of Campina Grande-PB and/or adjacent cities, due to the ease of accessibility to the services offered; that have means of transportation that allow their transport to the collection site, as this is an elderly sample group, those who are unable to move will be under the responsibility of the researcher to transport them; those elderly with chronic degenerative diseases may also be included, if they are under drug control.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria will be those who present disabling pathologies for performing aerobic activities (cardiopathies and decompensated respiratory pathologies), they will be excluded because the protocol requires a satisfactory level of cardiorespiratory resistance to perform the activities proposed by the protocol; those elderly who have musculoskeletal disorders that prevent them from participating in the collection and/or who make use of gait devices since the exercises require large amplitude movements, those who are over 80 years old also do not participate, thinking they have a risk that overcome the benefit and elderly people who are performing other aerobic or anaerobic activities so as not to interfere with the evidence of the results
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assessing the Heart Rate Variability in the period of 20 to 22 months, through a device called Polar V800 that measures the rr intervals of the Heart Rate, it is a watch that is on the wrist and a sensor that is attached to the patient's chest. results are numerical and are interpreted by a software called Kubius , this variability is expected to increase after the interventions.;Evaluate the body composition in the period of 20 to 22 months, through a device called Bioimpedance Scale that analyzes variables such as weight in kg, BMI (Body Mass Index), muscle composition, bone age and fat. The results are numerical and are interpreted by a statistical analysis, it is expected that these variables have better results after the interventions. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Analysis of the epidemiological profile of the sample over a period of 20 to 22 months, through a socio-demographic questionnaire with questions about gender, level of education, income, place of residence and other issues. The results are numerical and are interpreted by a statistical analysis, these variables are expected to inform the reader about the profile of the sample.;Functional Capacity Analysis, through the 6-minute walk test, which consists of a brisk walking test on a flat surface to assess the functional capacity of the sample. The results are numerical and are interpreted by a statistical analysis, it is expected that after interventions, the elderly are with greater functional capacity | — |
