Functional Capacity
For the measurement of functional capacity, several tests were applied, such as: the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), the 6 m Gait Speed (6 mGS) and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests.The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is a test battery made up of different tests, which can cover different functional levels, and collects a score based on the results obtained in each test that can range between 0 and 12 points. For instance, if the result obtained is between 4 and 9 points, it suggests frailty [Next, the measurements for the 6 mGS test were established through the time it takes for the person to travel a distance of 6 m, with a speed of less than 0.8 m/s being an indicator of frailty and risk of falls [In order to evaluate the mobility and function of the lower limbs, the Time Up and Go (TUG) test was used, in which a researcher, through the use of a digital stopwatch, measured the time in seconds that the person took getting up from a chair, walking 3 m, turning around, walking back at a normal pace and sitting in the same chair. This test has proven to be practical and reliable in this group of people (CCI: 0.95) [
