Functional Training, Immune System, and Physical Function of older women

INTERVENTION: G11.427.685 That is a two‐arm, double‐blind, randomized controlled clinical study. Experimental group: 50 older women will participate in a functional training protocol with basic exercises such as squatting, pushing, pulling, and carrying for 16 weeks, 48 training sessions in the morning. Control group: 50 older women will be required to maintain their usual activities and participate in weekly meetings for submaximal stretching practice for the main muscle groups for 16 weeks, counting 32 sessions. In addition to the intervention protocols, physical testing will also occur during the intervention to assess the physical fitness of the participants throughout the follow‐up period. CONDITION: G07.345.124.390 Obesity; Diabetes Mellitus; Hypertension; Hypercholesterolemia PRIMARY OUTCOME: To analyze the effect of functional training on immunosenescence and functionality in elderly women. SECONDARY OUTCOME: Develop and apply a theoretical model to explain functionality in the elderly. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Participants eligible should be 65 years of age or older; be physically independent; have no cardiovascular or musculoskeletal comorbidities, as well as no uncontrolled conditions that preclude physical exercise; not be on hormone replacement therapy; no regular physical activity or exercise, this is two or more times per week in the si Xmonths prior to the beginning of the study
