Remote Exercise Group
The intervention will have a weekly frequency of two sessions on non-consecutive days during the first six weeks and three sessions on non-consecutive days for the remaining six weeks. The exercise intervention will consist of four 3-week mesocycles. The session's structure will consist of a warm-up, the main part, in which a combined training program will be carried out, consisting of three distinct blocks, and at the end, stretching. Blocks 1 and 2 will consist of three strength exercises with bodyweight and alternative materials and aerobic training. Between blocks 1 and 2, and later in block 3, participants will take a free walk with displacement in the space they have available in their own home. The session will end with stretching exercises for the main muscle groups. The sessions will last 37 to 57 minutes over 12 weeks, with approximately 5 min of warm-up and stretching, and the main part ranging from 27 min to 47 min throughout the intervention.
Group control
"Participants allocated to the GC will receive recommendations for the practice of physical activity based on information from three specific chapters of the Physical Activity Guide for the Brazilian Population (2021). The GC will receive through Whatsapp the information that is available in chapters 1, 4, and 5, which address the following topics: Understanding Physical Activity, Physical Activity for Adults, and Physical Activity for the Elderly. If sending via Whatsapp is not possible, the booklet will be printed and delivered to the participant. At the end of the 12 weeks, the same booklet will be made available to IG participants."
