Effects of Two Types of Concurrent Training in Functional Performance and Cognitive Function of Older Adults
- Conditions
- Aging
- Interventions
- Behavioral: Traditional concurrent trainingBehavioral: Concurrent training consisting of strength training combined with dance classes
- Registration Number
- NCT05859243
- Lead Sponsor
- Eduardo Lusa Cadore
- Brief Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to identify and compare the impacts of traditional concurrent training and concurrent training consisting of strength training combined with dance classes on functional performance, cognitive function and quality of life in older people. The main question it aims to answer are:
• The concurrent training consisting of strength training combined with dance classes can provide similar benefits to traditional concurrent training in neuromuscular and cardiorrespiratory performance, cognitive function and quality of life in older people?
Participants will training one of the two types of concurrent training (traditional concurrent training or concurrent training consisting of strength training combined with dance classes), two times a week, over 12 weeks.
Researchers will compare traditional concurrent training, concurrent training consisting of strength training combined with dance classes and a control group without exercise to see if this modalitys of physical exercise can provide increases in neuromuscular and cardiorrespiratory performance, cognitive function and quality of life in older people.

Composed of strength exercises and dance classes.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Stairs Climb Capacity Baseline, 8 and 12 weeks Assessed by 10 step climb test
Change in Leg Strenght Baseline, 8 and 12 weeks Assessed by One repetition maximum knee extension test
Change in Cognitive function Baseline, 8 and 12 weeks Assessed by Mini Exam of Mental State
Change in Static Balance Baseline, 8 and 12 weeks Assessed by One leg Stance Test
Change in Seat to Stand Capacity Baseline, 8 and 12 weeks Assessed by 30s Seat to Stand Test
Change in Dynamic balance Baseline, 8 and 12 weeks Assessed by Timed Up and Go Test
Change in Self reported quality of life Baseline, 8 and 12 weeks Assessed by World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionary, on a scale ranging from 26 to 130. Higher scores are considered better.
Change in Leg Power Baseline, 8 and 12 weeks Assessd by 30% and 70% of One repetition maximum knee extension Test
Change in Hand Grip Strenght Baseline, 8 and 12 weeks Assessed by Hand Grip Test with Hydraulic Dynamometer
Change in Cardiorrespiratory Capacity Baseline, 8 and 12 weeks Assessed by the 6 minutes walk test
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Affectivity with the intervention 8 and 12 weeks Assessed by Scale (+5 = very good, -5 = very bad)
Change in Lipid profile Baseline and 12 weeks plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, HDL and triglycerides will be determined by the colorimetric method with specific kits in an automatic analyzer (Cobas C111, Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland).
Change in Quadriceps muscle thickness Baseline and 12 weeks Assessed by ultrasound
Change in Specific tension of quadriceps Baseline and 12 weeks Calculated by the formula: maximum knee extension strength/quadriceps muscle thickness
Change in depressive symptoms Baseline and 12 weeks Measured using the Geriatric Depression Scale, that consists of 15 questions with binary answers (yes/no) and easy to understand. It ranges from zero (absence of depressive symptoms) to fifteen points (maximum score of depressive symptoms).
