Among these, the ability to walk, being associated with the risk of falling has been studied by several authors. The adoption of strength and power training as an intervention strategy to reduce the negative effects arising from the physiological or pathological process of aging has been widely discussed in these studies. However, the effects of these interventions on biomechanical gait indicators have not been fully debated yet. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effects of these two training protocols on functional capacities and biomechanical gait parameters of elderly women.', 'detailedDescription': "Three female groups, homogenized by age, body mass index and physical activity level, were formed: the control group (GC: n=8, 69±4 years old), the strength training group (GF: n=6, 67±4 years old) and the power training group (GP, n=7, 68±4 years old). No extra activity was induced to GC's routine. Meanwhile, GF and GP underwent 12 weeks of strength and power training, respectively, with three weekly sessions. While GF performed the exercises with moderate speed (70-90% of 1RM), the GP executed them in fast speed (40-60% of 1RM). A kinematic and electromyographic gait evaluation, as well as balance and functional capacity evaluations, were conducted prior and after the intervention period."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '65 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* sedentary women with no physical mobility limitations\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* attending less than 75% of the intervention sessions and not attending the final evaluation'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02852668', 'briefTitle': 'Power Training Versus Strength Training in the Elderly', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Sao Paulo'}, 'officialTitle': 'Biomechanical Gait Indicators of Elderly Women in Response to Strength Training or Power Training', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'PowerElderly'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Power Training Group', 'description': 'Physical exercises.
