Brief Summary

This study evaluates the adaptations on the functional capacity and cardiovascular in elderly after a physical activity program circuit training. The participants were divided into three groups: Circuit training based on high-intensity interval training group (HIICT), Circuit training at moderate intensity group (MICT) and Control group (CG).

Conditions

Aging; Healthy; Cardiovascular Risk Factor; Physical Activity

Keywords

High-intensity interval training; Circuit training; Elderly; Functional capacity; VO2 max; Cardiovascular parameters

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Analyses changes in maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max).

  A modified Balke treadmill protocol will be used to estimate aerobic capacity (VO2max).

  Pre and post after sixteen weeks of intervention

• Analyses changes in maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max).

  VO2max was assessed using the 6-Minute Walk Test. The participant should walk the longest distance possible in 6 minutes by walking continuously the 42 metres indicated on the floor. It measures the distance in meters

  Pre and post after sixteen weeks of intervention

Secondary Outcomes (11)

• Analyses changes in heart rate reached in ergometry.

  Pre and post after sixteen weeks of intervention

• Analyses changes in blood pressure reached in ergometry.

  Pre and post after sixteen weeks of intervention

• Analyses changes in maximum speed reached in ergometry.

  Pre and post after sixteen weeks of intervention

• Analyses changes in duration test reached in ergometry.

  Pre and post after sixteen weeks of intervention

• Analyses changes in fat percentage.

  Pre and post after sixteen weeks of intervention.

Other Outcomes (1)

• Analyses change in Self Assessed Physical Activity.

  Pre and post after sixteen weeks of intervention.
