Brief Summary

Introduction: Extension projects focused on physical activity can offer health practices and promote quality of life for participants of different ages. Investing in extension projects with a research interface can contribute to relevant insights for teaching knowledge. Furthermore, the progressive aging of the population makes it essential to identify individuals at risk of functional decline and to implement evidence-based interventions that allow for the reduction of these losses, enabling a better quality of life for the elderly. The WHO developed the guideline that addresses healthy development, with strategies to promote healthy aging based on solid concepts, with data on their applicability in a real-life scenario, especially from intervention studies. Objective: To evaluate the impact of interventions focused on Gymnastics and multicomponent training on the intrinsic capacity of adult and elderly participants in extension projects at UFBA. Methodology: This is an intervention study within an extension project with a research focus, encompassing adult individuals (participants in MOVEGINBA) and elderly individuals of both sexes, aged 60 years or older (participants in the MOVEGINBA 60+ project). Participants will be evaluated regarding anthropometric, sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions, and physical-functional performance. As well as quality of life, sleep quality, fear of falling, and independence in activities of daily living. Tests and interviews will be conducted before and after the intervention. The results of this study will be fundamental to understanding the implications of the multicomponent gymnastics/training intervention for the participants.

• Intrinsic capacity:

  Hearing: Self-reported - Self-reported - Participants are asked if they have any hearing problems.

  Sample collected before the intervention. Subsequently, another sample was collected 12 weeks after the intervention.

• Intrinsic capacity

  Vision: self-reported - Participants are asked if they have any vision problems, if they have difficulty seeing up close or far away, if they have any eye disease, or if they are undergoing medical treatment for diabetes or hypertension.

  Sample collected before the intervention. Subsequently, another sample was collected 12 weeks after the intervention.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

Multicomponent training intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Multicomponent training intervention - Protocol includes mobility, resistance exercises for the lower and upper limbs and major muscle groups, and aerobic exercises. The intervention will take place twice a week for one hour, following a 12-week protocol.

Other: Multicomponent training intervention Multicomponent training intervention - Protocol includes mobility, resistance exercises for the lower and upper limbs and major muscle groups, and aerobic exercise

Interventions

Multicomponent training intervention Multicomponent training intervention - Protocol includes mobility, resistance exercises for the lower and upper limbs and major muscle groups, and aerobic exercise OTHER

The interventions will take place twice a week, on two days (Mondays and Wednesdays) with two groups lasting one hour each. The exercises will include joint mobility training, followed by strength training with body weight and the use of elastic bands, dumbbells, sticks, and the like. Subsequently, there will be an aerobic part, lasting 30 minutes, in which the heart rate will be increased, with the use of sound and rhythms. Following this, there will be a cool-down, with a reduction in activities. Participants will be evaluated before and after the intervention, after 12 weeks, with variables that include intrinsic capacity such as mobility, psychological state, vitality, sensory and cognitive domain.

Model Details: Multicomponent training: The interventions will take place twice a week-on Mondays and Wednesdays-in two one-hour sessions. The exercises will include joint mobility training, followed by strength training using body weight and equipment such as resistance bands, dumbbells, and sticks. Next, there will be a 30-minute aerobic segment designed to raise heart rate through the use of music and rhythm. This will be followed by a relaxation period involving a reduction in activity intensity.
