The exercise intervention will be performed in groups of 20 participants which will train 3 days/week (60 min per session) for a 16-week period. Sessions will be designed and carefully supervised by exercise monitors, including a 15 minute warm-up period followed by 35 minute focused on aerobic exercises, developed progressively at intensity sufficient to achieve 50% (at the beginning of the intervention) and 80% (the last month of the intervention) of predicted maximum heart rate (209-0.73 × age) and resistance strength training.Monday sessions will involve resistance strength exercises. Wednesday sessions will include balance oriented activities and dancing aerobic exercises. Fridays will include aerobic, resistance strength and coordination using a circuit of different exercises.Sessions finish with a 10 minute cool-down period of stretching and relaxation exercises.
