Summary

To evaluate and compare the effects of different types of physical exercise on clinical and functional outcomes in the elderly. 240 community-dwelling elderly individuals of both sexes, sedentary, will be recruited for twelve groups of elderly individuals who will receive intervention for 32 weeks of different types of physical exercise (free walking, Nordic walking, dancing, physical exercise for cognition, balance, aquatic physiotherapy, multicomponent gymnastics, water aerobics, hydro-postural exercises, aquatic jogging, weight training, and Pilates mat). The training programs will have a frequency of two sessions per week and will last 50 minutes and will be periodized so that the duration of the sessions is equal among them. In order to evaluate the effects of the training, evaluations will be carried out before, during and after the training period of functional fitness, clinical-functional and biomechanical parameters. It is expected that the intervention groups will present results according to the nature of the modality and that they will be more effective when compared to the control group. As well as improvements in the variables of gait speed, muscle strength, balance and cognition.
