Multimodal Exercise Programs for Fall Prevention: A Randomized Controlled Trial

"Each session includes: beginning ritual (5 min), warm-up (15 min), main section comprising the multimodal exercises (40 min), cool-down (10 min), and finishing ritual (5 min).~At the initial stage, the activation of different muscle groups will be performed, providing an elevation of the neurophysiological parameters. The main section (multimodal exercises) will be focused on the specific objectives through sensorimotor and neurocognitive activities. This section includes periods ranging 10-15 min of exercises mainly focused on motor stimulation- physical performance (cardiovascular, strength, balance, flexibility, agility and movement accuracy)- alternating with exercises mainly focused on cognitive stimulation- executive functions (planning ability, information processing speed, attention and dual-task performance).~At the cool-down the participants will normalize their physiological parameters. Finally, at the finishing ritual the participants share their sensations experienced."

"The EG2 intervention combines the psychomotor exercise program with a WBV program. The program integrates 3 sessions / week of 75 minutes (including the 6 minutes of WBV) on alternated days.~The WBV will integrate 3 sessions / week of 6 minutes each, with programed increased exercise time, series, and frequencies throughout the intervention."
