Summary
Aging is a natural process associated with a decline that results in an increased risk of physical and cognitive disability, and/or emotional and social impairment. Consequently, several studies show the multiple benefits of multicomponent training programs. In addition, current guidelines extend this approach to multi-domain programs.
Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present the Healthy-Age multidomain intervention program that follows the recommendations of the main institutions and scientific literature and includes the main domains (physical, social, cognitive and motivational) in the elderly. Its purpose is to prevent, maintain or improve integral health (physical, psychological, emotional and social) and to educate them for healthy aging. In addition to including general recommendations for physical activity, recommendations are given for aerobic endurance training, balance, coordination, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and cognitive training; and two modalities are presented; a 5-day supervised plan and a 3-day supervised plan plus 2 autonomous days.
