“…Therefore, considering physical activity as an effective resource to minimize the impact of aging on physical performance 28,29 and the variables that can influence the performance of this test, especially in the elderly, we can consider that the observed decrease in the distance walked, although statistically significant, was clinically mild and relatively expected, in view of the physiological changes of the aging process 30 . Thus, it is believed that the decline found for the distance walked was not higher possibly due to benefits of physical activity.…”
