Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of different trainings on cognition and physical performances in elderly over 80 years.

Conditions

Sedentary

Keywords

aged, 80 and over; Exercise; Cognition; Balance; Randomized controlled trial

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Changes from baseline in lower limbs strength after 16 weeks of training and 6 weeks of detraining

  Lower limbs strength was assessed by 5 times sit-to-stand test.

  Assessed at baseline, after 16 weeks of training and 6 weeks of detraining

• Changes from baseline in balance after 16 weeks of training and 6 weeks of detraining

  Balance was assessed by unipedal test and tandem test.

  Assessed at baseline, after 16 weeks of training and 6 weeks of detraining

• Changes from baseline in dual task walking after 16 weeks of training and 6 weeks of detraining

  Dual task was assessed by Timed Up and Go test with a cognitive task (speak day of week in reverse order) and motor task (carry a cup of water).

  Assessed at baseline, after 16 weeks of training and 6 weeks of detraining

• Changes from baseline in cognition after 16 weeks of training and 6 weeks of detraining

  Cognition was evaluated by Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

  Assessed at baseline, after 16 weeks of training and 6 weeks of detraining.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Changes from baseline in number of falls after 16 weeks of training and 6 weeks of detraining

  Assessed at baseline, during 16 weeks of training and 6 weeks of detraining.

• Changes from baseline in depression after 16 weeks of training and 6 weeks of detraining

  Assessed at baseline, during 16 weeks of training and 6 weeks of detraining.

Multicomponent training

Other: Multicomponent training

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

The Control Group did not realize any intervention.

Interventions

Multicomponent training OTHER

The multicomponent training consisted of individuals subjected to a multicomponent exercise program: 5 minute warm up, 20 minutes of aerobic exercise, 15-20 minutes of strength exercises, 10 minutes of coordination, agility and balance exercises and 5 minute of cool-down.

Multicomponent training

Resistance training OTHER

The resistance training was subjected to a strength training using weight machines adapted for elderly. The protocol followed three sets of 10 to 12 maximal repetitions, moderate speed (two seconds for the shortening phase and three seconds for the elongation phase) and one minute for rest interval between sets.

Resistance training
