Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The variables under study are physical activity in the last week; quality of life; lower and upper limb strength; flexibility of the lower and upper limbs; postural control; march; agility and execution speed. These variables will be evaluated in 4 moments: before the beginning of the training program; after 24 weeks of the program; after 6 months from the end of the program; and after 1 year.
A convenience sample will be recruited in the community of Almada, in partnership with the Municipality of Almada (CMA). The sample will be recruited according to the following inclusion criteria: residents in the municipality of Almada, individuals between 55 and 80 years of age, healthy people, who do not have prostheses (with the exception of dental prostheses), who have not undergone operations for over 6 months, and who can walk independently for up to 10 minutes. Participants will not be eligible if they are younger than 55 years of age or older than 80 years of age, have a musculoskeletal or neurological diagnosis and report a clinical cardiovascular diagnosis. Gender is not an exclusion criterion.
The training program will be carried out over a period of 24 weeks, with exercise sessions twice a week, lasting approximately 45 minutes each. The sessions were divided into three phases: initial phase; fundamental phase; and return to calm. Throughout the intervention, the sensorimotor training program will have a progressive increase in load, the exercises will be divided into 3 levels of intensity: easy, intermediate and advanced.

RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
PREVENTION
SINGLE
Each participant will be randomly assigned to each group after signing the informed consent and conducting the initial assessments. All laboratory samples and data collected will be identified with identification ID, safeguarding the confidentiality of the collected data.
At the end of this study, all participants of the control group will be offered the same intervention as the exercise group.
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Active Retirement - intervention
The duration of the program is 24-weeks, 2-times a week, for up to 50 minutes per session. The sessions will be divided into three phases: the initial phase (10 minutes) will consist of a 5-minute walk followed by a joint warm-up; fundamental phase (25 minutes) will work in an exercise circuit, this circuit will consist of 4 cycles, with 8 exercises each, with a duration of 50 seconds and a rest of 15 seconds, for the exchange of exercise; and return to calm (10 minutes), where we will perform muscle stretching.
Active retirement
During the intervention, the sensorimotor training program will have a progressive increase in load, the exercises will be divided into 3 levels of intensity: easy (without external load, during the first 8 weeks), intermediate (application of external load: elastic bands, shin guards and free weights, from the 9th to the 16th week) and advanced (increased external load compared to the previous level, from the 17th to the 24th week).
During the sessions we will still assess the intensity through the subjective perception of effort (RPE) scale. In addition, adherence and control of the level of control through the Physical Activity Enjoyment (PACES) survey applied to participants.
Active Retirement - control
The control group will only carry out the assessments and will be offered the same intervention as the intervention group at the end of the intervention.
No interventions assigned to this group
