Inclusion Criteria

  • •aged 60-74 years,
  • •Sedentary or Moderate A in accord with IPAQ short form (International Physical Activity Questionnaire) and those without disease.
  • •furthermore, the subjects should reach the ventilatory threshold 1, considered after meeting two of the following events:
  • •respiratory quotient (R) increases (R ≥1,1);
  • •loss of linearity between the pulmonary ventilation curve (VE) and oxygen consumption (VO2), plateau of VO2 or plateau of heart rate (HR) and increases of end-tidal PO2 (Pet O2)

Exclusion Criteria

  • •Were excluded subjects with changes in Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scores by age and educational level where the minimum score represents: illiterate 13 points, less than 8 study years is 18 points, 8 or more study years is 26 points
  • •Were also excluded current smokers or previous, subjects with thrombosis, labyrinthitis, diabetes, hemodynamic instabilities, obesity, osteoporosis, neuromuscular diseases, pulmonary or cardiac diseases, changes in resting electrocardiogram or in exercise, ingestion of drugs to metabolism bone / muscle / heart chronotropism or with difficulties in adapting protocols
