- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Expected outcome 1: reduction of the sedentary behavior of the elderly, measured by accelerometer brand ActiGraph, model GT3x, fixed with a elastic belt around the right hip, for a period of 7 consecutive days, withdrawn only for the bath. Data collected before the intervention, at the end of the intervention (lasting 4 months) and 1 month after the intervention. Only the days on which the device is used for a period of 10 hours per day will be considered valid, and at least 5 valid days will be necessary. Sedentary time per day, number and duration of sedentary time breaks per day and the sedentary accumulation of time for periods of 10 consecutive minutes or more. The cut-off point used to define the sedentary behavior will be less than 100 counts per minute as measured by the accelerometer. For the analysis of the data obtained by this device will be used the software Actilife, provided by the manufacturer. It was considered an effect size of 0.25, 5% alpha and power of 80% <br>
