Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The sample numbers are reached, and, after analyzing the data, there are significant differences between the individuals who underwent the conventional kinesiotherapy intervention protocol and kinesiotherapy intervention associated with an exergame in improving cognitive function and as potential epigenetic modulating agents in a group of elderly women , evaluating the acute and late effects of such modulators, as well as cognitive capacity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Significant differences may not be observed between the groups that will perform the intervention protocol with the use of exergame and those that will not perform the exercises with the use of the game associated with physical exercise, rejecting the proposed hypothesis
