“…Therefore, the objective is to quantify the maximum number of repetitions in 30 seconds of activity, being performed in a chair with a straight back, with a height of 43 cm from the floor to the seat and the elderly should have their arms crossed at chest height. The reference values used for the elderly population are equal to or greater than 19 repetitions (OLIVEIRA et al, 2017). The TUGT aims to assess the functional mobility of the elderly.…”

There is strong evidence of the benefits of physical activity (PA) for elderly. However, there is still no consensus as to whether one modality is superior to the others. The objective of this study was to compare three different PA programs for elderly women. The study included 107 participants between 60 and 75 years old that practiced PA in three different programs, which were: Strength Training Group (STG), Aerobic Training Group (ATG) and Adapted Sports Group (ASG). To evaluate body composition, we used the Body Mass Index (BMI) and the Total Muscle Mass Index (TMSI), and for the functional tests we used the Sit-to-Stand Test (SST) and the Timed Up Go Test (TUGT). All participants of the three groups presented good physical performance, as the STG presented the best result in the SST, while in the TUGT the ASG was better. The study reinforces the need to stimulate the practice of PA for elderly, and that intrinsic motivation should be considered to offer something that is pleasurable and maintains their adherence to the program.

“…Eles chegaram a conclusão que as idosas que praticavam musculação possuem maior nível de forma de membros inferiores e que as que estavam no grupo de ginástica aeróbica e hidroginástica possuem maior flexibilidade. Conforme o estudo realizado porOliveira et al (2017) que objetivou avaliar a flexibilidade e força muscular de membros inferiores de idosas praticantes de hidroginástica no município de Sarandi, estado do Paraná. Eles concluíram que as idosas que praticantes de hidroginástica possuíam classificação de flexibilidade muito ruim, avaliadas por meio do teste de sentar e alcançar, bem como a força muscular de membros inferiores foi classificado como fraca.…”

Aging is a natural physiological phenomenon of living beings, progressive and inevitable, that causes changes in the body systems, among them the gradual loss of flexibility that is associated with the aging process, and consequently one of the major causes of movement reduction , interfering directly in the functionality of individuals. Aim to verify the level of flexibility of elderly women practicing water aerobics. It is a research of experimental character, descriptive and of quantitative approach. Fifty-one elderly women aged 60 to 80 years old, practicing hydrogymnastics, enrolled in the Active Life Extension Project in the second semester of 2018 participated in the study. The instruments used to collect the data were: clinical record of the PEVA and the Bank of Wells. The data collected were evaluated by the normative cutoff values of the percentile score of the AAHPERD test battery, a result of the research for the degree of flexibility of the elderly ranged from very weak (74.5%), weak (19.6%), regular (3.9%), good (2.0%) and none reached very good. The elderly women who participated in the study had a mean age of 69.53; body weight of at least 50.5 and maximum of 108.0 kg and average height of 1.50. Considering the studies carried out and the analysis of this research it is possible to affirm that the regular practice of water gymnastics is considered as one of the most suitable physical exercises for people with pathologies and advanced age, contributing to the acquisition or maintenance of flexibility.
