Aptidão funcional de idosas praticantes de atividades físicas DOI:10.5007/1980-0037.2010v12n2p106

Abstract: Aptidão funcional de idosas praticantes de atividades físicasFunctional fitness of older women performing physical activities Resumo -O envelhecimento é um processo progressivo e natural e a atividade física vem sendo apontada como uma possibilidade de minimizar o seu impacto e, especialmente, manter a capacidade funcional do idoso por mais tempo. O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar as modificações do Índice de Aptidão Funcional Geral (IAFG) de idosos participantes de um programa de atividades físicas n… Show more

“…This relationship can be attributed to a decreased capacity for understanding preventive measures, less investment in health and disability prevention (18,19), as well as the possibility of poorly educated elderly people coming from precarious home and family environments (20). It is also worth noting that the understanding the elderly have regarding the importance of physical activity may also factor in due to the close association between physical activity and functional capacity (21).…”

“…Quanto a classificação das variáveis, conforme indicação dos protocolos dos testes, foi possível perceber uma melhora ou manutenção das variáveis ao longo do período da intervenção. Em função das mudanças associadas ao processo de envelhecimento, as quais se tornam mais evidentes nas idades mais avançadas, a manutenção de resultados é considerada um fato positivo 39 e foi evidenciada em todas variáveis.…”

“…Conversely, regardless of the variables age, anthropometric measures, body composition, and level of physical activity, there was also a difference in the upper limb strength. The loss of muscle mass and strength is considered by many authors as one of the main factors responsible for the deterioration of mobility and functional capacity during the ageing process 13,21 . Therefore, researchers have investigated the mechanisms involved in the loss of muscle strength caused by ageing with the purpose of creating strategies considering the practice of physical activity to minimize the deleterious effects of ageing in order to preserve or improve people's quality of life 11 .…”

“…Another limitation is the fact that we did not investigate other factors that may affect the performance on motor tests in women after middle age, such as hormonal aspects for instance. And we also did not investigate other variables related to functional ability, which, according to the literature, is one of the most important markers of successful aging and better quality of life 21 . In addition, it is necessary to consider that the classification of sedentary behavior was done based on statistical division in tertiles.…”
