Summary

The aim of present study is to analyze the effect of a multimodal exercise program on brain dynamics, cognitive functioning and physical fitness in community-dwelling older adults This experimental study is a controlled trial. Participants will be allocated to two groups: experimental group (who attend the multimodal exercise program) and control group (who maintain usual activity).

The multimodal exercise program will run for 12 weeks (3 sessions / week of 60 minutes).

Participants will be assessed 1) at baseline and at 2) at 12 weeks.

Conditions

  • Community-dwelling Older Adults

Interventions

OTHER

Multimodal exercise program

Each session includes: beginning ritual (5 min), warm-up (15 min), main section comprising the multimodal exercises (30 min), cool-down (5 min), and finishing ritual (5 min). At the initial stage, the activation of different muscle groups will be performed. The main section (multimodal exercises) will be focused on the specific objectives through sensorimotor and neurocognitive activities and will privilege IPS. This section includes periods ranging 10-15 min of exercises mainly focused on motor stimulation - physical fitness (strength, balance and agility) - alternating with exercises mainly focused on cognitive stimulation - CF (planning ability, solving-problems, IPS, attention and DT performance). At the cool-down the participants will normalize their physiological parameters. Finally, at the finishing ritual the participants sign an attendance sheet regarding the session, including perceived exertion (Borg Scale) and satisfaction (Caregiver Treatment Satisfaction questionnaire).
