Interventions
Multicomponent exercise program focused in elderly.
Each of these sessions will be carried out taking into account the main physiotherapy objectives, such as gaining strength in both upper and lower limbs, as well as proprioception, balance, and promoting a pleasant and safe social environment where these older people feel valid. All sessions will begin with a 5-minutes. It will begin with a general warm-up based on general joint mobility of the head and neck, shoulders, trunk, elbows, hands, wrists, hips, knees and ankles to begin to accustom the body to the physical work environment. And at the end of the sessions, a stretching program will be carried out, and it will end with a return to calm with a respiratory training program, in which you will be instructed to take in air through the nose and release it through the mouth, while the room is silent, and thus promote self-awareness.
