About

Although some authors have observed favorable effects of group physical activity programs, others have reported that the individualized prescription of exercises may be jeopardized by programs that do not allow sufficient consideration of individual characteristics. Therefore, we aim to verify the effects of an elderly-specific multimodal physical activity program on physical parameters after one year of intervention.
