Brief Summary
The goal of this project is to understand the effect of regular practice of long distance running on the posture and movement control of older adults. For such, the investigators will conduct an experiment with longitudinal design where sedentary elderly individuals will be trained in long distance running for about 4 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change from baseline of posture and movement patterns at 16 weeks
biomechanical and physiological measures of the posture and movement patterns
Two weeks before and two weeks after the training for sixteen months
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Change from baseline of mechanical joint moments estimated by inverse dynamics at 16 weeks
Two weeks before and two weeks after the training for four months
Change from baseline of muscle activity measured by surface electromyography of selected muscles of the lower limb at 16 weeks
Two weeks before and two weeks after the training for four months
Change from baseline of body sway measured by estabilography with a force plate during standing at 16 weeks
Two weeks before and two weeks after the training for four months
