Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a randomized, single-blind, parallel, controlled, superiority trial. The main objective is to verify the chronic effects of a remote 12-week low-intensity physical training program alone or in combination with cognitive training on functional, cognitive, and occupational capacity, as well as on the self-reported quality of life.


Clinical Trial Description

Participants over 60 years of age at increased risk of clinical-functional vulnerability will be recruited in the city of Pelotas/RS, Brazil and randomized to two different arms. The intervention group will receive low-intensity physical training combined with a cognitive training program using neurobic exercises, whereas the active comparator group will only receive the low-intensity physical training program. Participants from both groups will perform their training sessions remotely for a total of 12 weeks. Outcomes of interest include handgrip strength, functional and cognitive capacity, occupational performance, clinical-functional vulnerability level, self-reported quality of life, and depressive symptoms, which will be assessed in a pre-post fashion. The study hypothesis is that remote low-intensity physical training combined with cognitive training will result in additional benefits to those of low-intensity physical training alone in the physical and cognitive capacity outcomes, and as a consequence, improved quality of life, occupational performance, decreased level of clinical-functional vulnerability and symptoms of depression will be observed. ;
