Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Reduction of the risk of falls in the elderly from the observation of a variation of at least fifteen percent in the measurements before and after experimental programs (Educational without exercises, exercises with video games and multi-component exercises) of the strength and muscular power through the test of sit and (time in seconds that it takes to sit and lift five times, the lower the time the better the strength and muscle power), functional mobility through the Timed up and Go test (time in seconds that it takes to get up from a chair, walk 3 meter, turn around in the cone, return and sit again, the lower the time the better the mobility) and balance through the Mini-best test (battery of tests that evaluates the elderly in different conditions and positions of the body and its response to postural instability, the higher the score the greater the balance) after a period of three months of physical exercise
