“…With the increase in the number of elderly people at risk of functional disability, different protocols/programs of physical activity have emerged, to understand their effects on FC and CC, highlighting weight training (Dias, Gurjão, & Marucci, 2006), dance (Coelho, Junior, & Gobbi, 2008;Sebastião, Hamanaka, Gobbi, & Gobbi, 2008), and general physical activity (Silva & Gobbi, 2006;Zago, Polastri, Villar, Silva, &Gobbi, 2012), each of these modalities is composed of activities/protocols, with principles that greatly distinguish them from one another. However, many older people do not support the practice of intense physical activities that may require a lot of physical effort, and different studies suggest that low-load aerobic training combined with Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) has been a viable strategy in improving aerobic fitness, cardiorespiratory and muscular endurance, and functional capacity of elderly individuals (Abe et al, 2010;Clarkson, Conway, & Warmington, 2017;Gomes-Silva et al, 2019;Patterson et al, 2019).…”
