Brief Summary

The study will include 160 participants. They will be randomized into 2 groups, experimental and control. The intervention will take place over 24 weeks. Parameters of body composition, quality of life, physical activity, strength, flexibility, postural control, gait, agility and execution speed will be determined.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (9)

• Body weight

  Weight evaluation will be done using a scale

  1 year

• Height

  Height evaluation will be done using a stadiometer

  1 year

• Lower limbs muscle strength

  Lower limbs muscle strength will be evaluated with chair stand-up test

  1 year

• Upper limbs muscle strength

  The muscle strength of the upper limbs will be evaluated by forearm flexion test

  1 year

• Lower limbs flexibility

  Lower limbs flexibility will be evaluated through the "sit and reach"

  1 year

• Upper limbs flexibility

  The flexibility of the upper limbs will be assessed through "reaching behind the back"

  1 year

• Postural control

  Postural control will be assessed using a force platform (Bertec4060-Columbus; USA). The evaluation will consist of measuring the oscillations in a static bipedal position, with eyes open (2 minutes) and with eyes closed (2 minutes).

  1 year

• Gait

  Gait will be evaluated using the mobile application "phyphox" on the inner edge of the tibia, on the surface of the skin, to quantify the number of steps and time), participants will be asked to walk a pre-established route, without slopes or obstacles, for 10 minutes at its natural cadence and then the same route at a rhythm determined by complex stimuli (auditory metronome - loudspeakers, which allow you to hear the beats, where each beat corresponds to a step)

  1 year

• Agility and execution speed

  Agility and speed of execution will be evaluated through the application of the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, which consists of getting up from a chair, walking to a straight line 3 meters away, turning, walking back and sitting down again.

  1 year

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Life Quality

  1 year

• Physical activity level

  1 year

• Effort intensity

  1 year

• Level of satisfaction

  1 year

Active Retirement - intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

The duration of the program is 24-weeks, 2-times a week, for up to 50 minutes per session. The sessions will be divided into three phases: the initial phase (10 minutes) will consist of a 5-minute walk followed by a joint warm-up; fundamental phase (25 minutes) will work in an exercise circuit, this circuit will consist of 4 cycles, with 8 exercises each, with a duration of 50 seconds and a rest of 15 seconds, for the exchange of exercise; and return to calm (10 minutes), where we will perform muscle stretching.

Behavioral: Active retirement

Active Retirement - control

NO INTERVENTION

The control group will only carry out the assessments and will be offered the same intervention as the intervention group at the end of the intervention.

Interventions

Active retirement BEHAVIORAL

During the intervention, the sensorimotor training program will have a progressive increase in load, the exercises will be divided into 3 levels of intensity: easy (without external load, during the first 8 weeks), intermediate (application of external load: elastic bands, shin guards and free weights, from the 9th to the 16th week) and advanced (increased external load compared to the previous level, from the 17th to the 24th week). During the sessions we will still assess the intensity through the subjective perception of effort (RPE) scale. In addition, adherence and control of the level of control through the Physical Activity Enjoyment (PACES) survey applied to participants.

• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: SINGLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT
• Masking Details: Randomization is performed using a random selection method from the waiting list and the data will be coded and transferred to the database, depending on the intervention group and control group. Data analysis will be done statistically. Each participant will be randomly assigned to each group after signing the informed consent and conducting the initial assessments. All laboratory samples and data collected will be identified with identification ID, safeguarding the confidentiality of the collected data.
