Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Evaluate the results of the implementation of a multicomponent exercise program (16 weeks) for elder community dwelling population on their functionality (via cognitive, balance and mobility status).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A quasi-experimental study, of the pre-test-post-test type, with a sample for convenience from in a cohort of elderly community dwelling people, carried out between 2009 and 2011. The general objective is to verify the impact of a physical exercise program organized in classes, under the supervision of physiotherapists.The specific objectives are to analyze the effect after 8 and 16 weeks, on the functionality of the elderly person, discriminating three conditions: cognitive state, balance and functional mobility.

Multi component program

The intervention lasted 16 weeks, with the evaluations carried out at baseline, after 8 weeks and at the end.

The multi-component exercise program took place in day centers or collective residences. It was supervised by physiotherapists. The classes took place 3 times a week, at the same hour and on alternate days, for 45-60 minutes, for a total of 48 sessions. The program consisted on a warm-up (5 min) with exercises and walking, a balance and strength training (35-40 min) with exercises repeated 3 times and held for 15 seconds flexibility / relaxation (5 to 10 mins) periods. The strength training is performed with the resistance of the body weight or accessible and low cost equipment, with two series of 10 to 15 repetitions, after maximum resistance was calculated.

The flexibility and cooling training consists of 3 repetitions maintained for 15 seconds.
