Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
It was a randomized controlled trial with a total of 21 elderly that were randomly distributed into experimental (n = 11) and control groups (n=10). The experimental group performed a specific program exercises during 4 weeks, while the control group wasn't subjected to any intervention. Evaluations were carried out at the beginning and end of the exercise program, for both groups. After the intervention there were no statistically significant differences between groups in total balance and dynamic balance subscale, except static balance subscale.

Experimental
Performed a specific program exercises (resistance training, balance, coordination and flexibility) during 4 weeks.
Specific Exercise Program
4 weeks of exercise classes, 2 to 3 times a week for a total of 10 sessions. Classes last approximately 40 minutes. The sessions included balance training, motor strength, endurance and flexibility. The training sessions were divided into warm-up, main activity and finally relaxation.
Control
The control group wasn't subjected to any intervention
