Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Expectede outcome: after 12 weeks of intervention with functional training, it is believed the increase in the physical fitness of the elderly involved, such as increased strength, increased flexibility, increased cardiorespiratory capacity, as analyzed in other studies for the effect size calculation. These results will be presented through the "Sênior Fitness Test", which presents a classification for each item where the individual is below average, on average, above average or at risk of loss of mobility according to age;Expected outcome 2: With regular practice of physical exercises the intensity of pain in the lower back may be reduced, characterized by the Visual Analogue Scale with a score of 0 to 10, where 10 is the maximum pain and 0 the minimum pain, it is believed that all the older women will be closer to the 0 score, after 12 weeks of intervention	—
