Aging results in a number of aspects that affect the organism, in particular, the neuromuscular. Part of these musculoskeletal diseases can be prevented through physical training, specific strength training. The use of perceived exertion is a tool that can be useful for monitoring this type of training, serving as a health service to the elderly. Musculoskeletal diseases

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| After 12 weeks of training, compared to entry into the study, it is expected significant gains in maximum strength in knee extensor exercise test (one maximum repetition), the magnitude of 25% in all experimental groups.;After 12 weeks of training, compared to entry into the study, it is expected significant gains in functional performance in the test rise from a chair, walk 3 meters, and sit again, the magnitude 5-10% in all experimental groups, where the power group will present greater values than the others (additional increment of 5-10%).;After 12 weeks of training, compared to entry into the study, it is expected significant gains assessment of power (squat jump), the magnitude of 10-15% in all experimental groups, where the power group will present greater values than the others (additional increment of 10-15%). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| After 12 weeks of training, compared to entry into the study, it is expected significant gains in maximum strength in the knee flexor, leg press, bench press and low row exercises (one repetition maximum test), the magnitude of 25% in all experimental groups.;After 12 weeks of training, compared to entry into the study, it is expected significant gains in functional performance, in the tests of walking speed, chair stand, climb stairs, walk 6 min and questionnaire of functional capacity, the magnitude of 5-10% in all experimental groups, where the power group will present greater values compared to the others (additional increment of 5-10%).;After 12 weeks of training, compared to entry into the study, it is expected significant gains assessment of power (countermovement jump and rate of force development), the magnitude of 10-15% in all experimental groups, where the power group will present greater values than the others (additional increment of 10-15%).;After 12 weeks of training, compared to entry into the study, it is expected significant gains in strength endurance exercise on knee extensor (maximum repetitions test with 70% of one maximum repetition), the magnitude of 40% in all experimental groups. | — |
