Details and patient eligibility

About

The current study aims to determine the effect of a multidomain intervention (physical fitness, motivational and cognitive training) on body composition, sarcopenia, cardiovascular health, physical fitness, functional capacity, quality of life, frailty, emotional state and cognitive status in elderly participants, through a randomized controlled trial, to determine its suitability and recommend it as a preventive and health strategy for community-dwelling older adults.

Enrollment: 80 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 55 to 90 years old

Trial design

Primary purpose: Treatment

Allocation: Randomized

Interventional model: Parallel Assignment

Masking: None (Open label)

---

80 participants in 2 patient groups

Multidomain training group

Experimental group

Description:

Participants will use free weights and functional materials to work the main muscle groups. In addition, they will perform cardiorespiratory training and cognitive training with proposed tasks. Participants will follow the planned training progression. The researchers will record the number of sets completed and the load lifted for each exercise for each participant and the perception of effort in each class.

Treatment:

Procedure: Multidomain training

Control group

No Intervention group

Description:

The control group did not receive a training program and were asked not to modify their physical activity habits.
