About this study
Official title: Effect of Muay Thai vs. Circuit Training on the Health of Elderly: A Randomized Clinical Trial
The elderly will be recruited, after meeting the inclusion criteria, will be submitted to data collection, all necessary assessments for the study and after 12 weeks, the same data will be collected, so that the elderly are self-control. After the second collection, the elderly will be randomized into two groups: the Muay Thai group and the functional training group. Both groups will train three times a week for 60 min and for 12 weeks. The training will be divided into 20 min of general exercises, 20 min of specific exercises and 20 min of fight simulation and/or play activities. At the end of the 12 weeks of intervention, evaluations and data collection will be performed again.
Read the detailed description
Will be recruited through media resources at least 50 elderly people aged between 60 and 89 years.
Inclusion Criteria:
Being literate; Age between 60 and 89 years; Ability to perform moderate-intensity exercises determined by the American College Sports Medicine (ACSM) assessment questionnaire; Medical certificate stating that the elderly are able to exercise; Sign the informed consent form.
Exclusion Criteria:
Perform any other systematic practice of physical exercise, in addition to regular physical activity, such as walking; Present serious cardiovascular pathologies; Present serious neurological pathologies; Present use of crutches, walking sticks, walkers, wheelchairs or other similar utensils; Present self-report of locomotion difficulties to carry out the intervention practice.
These will have three moments of evaluations. Baseline, pre intervention (3 months) and post intervention (6 months) since the elderly will be controls themselves. They will perform anthropometric measurements, answer physical activity questionnaires, sedentary behavior, sleep quality, anxiety and depression, quality of life, cognition evaluation, body composition measurements, functional capacity, autonomic cardiac modulation, hemodynamics, flow and thickness of arteries, as well as flow-mediated dilatation. After the second-step measures (pre intervention 3 months), they will be randomized into two groups: Muay Thai and functional training. The functional training will be performed 3 times a week, for 12 weeks, during 60 minutes, being that will be divided into 20 min of general exercises, 20 min of specific exercises and 20 min of play activities. The activities will be carried out in a way adapted for the elderly. Will be carried out neuromotor control / coordination, balance, flexibility and static and dynamic stabilization. They will also have acceleration and deceleration activities, rotation and counter-rotation, extension and counter-extension, flexion and counter-flexion. The Muay Thai training will be performed 3 times a week, for 12 weeks, during 60 minutes, being that will be divided into 20 min of general exercises, 20 min of specific exercises (punches, kicks, knees, elbows, defenses and dodges) and 20 min of fight simulation and / or play activities. The activities will be carried out in a way adapted for the elderly. Will be used kickers, gauntlets, thorax and head protectors, shin guards, gloves, and other devices.

Measured: Change from Baseline Autonomic Cardiac Modulation to 3 months after intervention
Secondary outcomes (20)
Physical activity level - objective measure
Will be collected 7 days of accelerometry by ActiGraph's triaxial accelerometer wGT3X-BT giving the measure in counts per minute.
Measured: Pre baseline, Post 3 months (Pre-intervention) and Post 6 months (Post-intervention)
Self-reported physical activity level questionnaire
The modified Baecke's questionnaire for the elderly will be used to evaluate the practice of physical activity and a score will be calculated, both for total practice and for domains, the quartile of the evaluated elderly will be calculated and below 25 will be considered insufficiently active, above with sufficient physical activity practice
Measured: Pre baseline, Post 3 months (Pre-intervention) and Post 6 months (Post-intervention)
Self-reported sedentary behaviour questionnaire
The participants were asked to state the total time they usually spent (expressed in minutes per day) sitting or reclining including at work, at home, getting to and from places, or with friends (e.g. sitting at a desk, sitting with friends, travelling in car, bus, train, reading, playing cards or watching television).
Measured: Pre baseline, Post 3 months (Pre-intervention) and Post 6 months (Post-intervention)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Martial Arts and Functional Training in people with Elderly, run by Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho at 1 site in Brazil.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Autonomic Cardiac Modulation (time frame: Change from Baseline Autonomic Cardiac Modulation to 3 months after intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03919968, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Mar 2025.
