Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Sample The sample calculation indicates that the ideal number of participants per group is 16. According to previous research, for this calculation, an average difference of 3.46 repetitions (chair stand test) was used as the minimum difference required for substantial clinical relevance, with a standard deviation of 3.38 repetitions, considering an alpha level of 0.05 with 90% power and an expected loss of 15%. The inclusion criteria for the sample will be: i) older women aged between 60 and 65 years old; ii) presenting the ability to understand and follow instructions in a contextualized way through simple commands; iii) independent, that is, have a score equal to or greater than 43 points in the Preventive Medicine Exam for the Older People (in Spanish, EMPAM) of the Ministry of Health (31); and iv) complying with at least 85% attendance at the sessions scheduled for interventions. Regarding the exclusion criteria, the following will be considered: i) having any disabling disease; ii) those women who have musculoskeletal injuries or who are undergoing physical rehabilitation treatment that prevents their normal physical performance; and iii) those who have permanent or temporary contraindications to perform PA.
All participants will be informed of the scope of the research and will sign an informed consent that authorizes the use of the information for scientific purposes. In addition, the research protocol will follow the CONSORT guidelines, will be reviewed by the Scientific Ethics Committee of the Universidad Católica del Maule and will be developed following what is stated in the Declaration of Helsinki for work with human beings.
Before starting the intervention, during the last week of July 2022 (for one week), older women will be evaluated in the variables considered for the research, later, from the first week of August to the last week of November 2022 (16 weeks) will participate in designated training programs. After the intervention (first week of December 2022), for one week, the older women will undergo the same initial assessments.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental group 1 (adapted taekwondo)
The general structure of the adapted taekwondo will include a 10-min warm-up consisting of joint mobility exercises and low intensity aerobic work, then, for 40-min of the adapted taekwondo (will consist of non-contact activities, distributed in 10-min of basic postures and specific movements with the upper limbs and 20-min of lower limb movements performed individually and in pairs with and without the implementation of taekwondo. In addition, choreographies or forms (sequence of arm and leg movements that simulate an imaginary combat) specific to this modality were adapted to the characteristics of older women for 10-min; and will be developed to finish with the cool down for 10-min through dynamic and static flexibility exercises.
Physical activity
Combat sports and exercise
Experimental group 2 (multi-component training)
The general structure of the multi-component training will include a 10-min warm-up consisting of joint mobility exercises and low intensity aerobic work, then, for 40-min of the multi-component training (distributed work in a circuit, which includes resistance training focused on the large muscles of the upper limbs and lower limbs combined with exercises aimed at cardiorespiratory fitness, agility and postural control, using elastic bands, poles, 2-kg medicine balls and chairs). The training volume will start (the first 4-weeks) with 3 sets of 10 repetitions per muscular exercise with a 2-min rest period between sets, performing slow movements of two seconds in concentric contraction and four seconds in eccentric contraction. Between weeks 5 to 8, the volume will increase to 4 sets of 10 repetitions per muscular exercise with 2-min of rest between sets.
Physical activity
Combat sports and exercise
Experimental group 3 (walking program)
The walking program will be distributed in three weekly sessions of 45- to 60-min every other day, for 16-weeks (48 sessions). The general structure of the protocol will include a 5-min warm-up consisting of joint mobility and flexibility exercises. Next, the main part will be developed for 30- to 45-min (increased by 5-min every 4-weeks) consisting of walking on flat ground, touring the jogging circuit that the University has on campus, and ending with 5-min cool down through dynamic and static flexibility exercises.
Physical activity
Combat sports and exercise
Control group
The control group, the individuals will participate in the assessments (initial and final) and will be asked to maintain their usual activities. An undergraduate student (support personnel) will contact the participants by telephone (once a week) to consult them about their health status and monitor their activities. At the end of the intervention period, the control group will be invited to participate in a physical activity program that will be developed at the University based on the results of this project.
