Avaliação da flexibilidade: valores normativos do flexiteste dos 5 aos 91 anos de idade

Abstract: SummaryBackground: Physical exercise plays a role in health-promotion policies and its prescription should be scientifically based. Flexibility is one of the major components of health-related and performance-related physical fitness, and is defined as the maximum physiological passive range of motion of a given joint movement. According to its specificity, the assessment of flexibility should, ideally, incorporate multiple movements. Introduced in 1980 and with redesigned evaluation maps published in 1986, Fl… Show more

“…In the present study, the overall flexibility level of the women with FMS was similar to that of the control group, as assessed by the Flexindex and percentile reference values for age 23 . Most of the women in the sample were classified within the population average, independent of FMS, a result that disagrees with evidence indicating that FMS is associated with joint hypermobility [24][25][26] .…”

“…Nonetheless, this analysis identified a higher relevance of the nutritional status for low levels of cardiorespiratory resistance, when compared to other physical capacities. The behavior of the results of the flexibility assessment is in agreement with the norms 27 proposed in relation to age. In spite of that, the flexibility showed to be the physical quality that is least influenced by age, according to the calculated prevalence ratios (Table 3).…”

“…Além desta definição, a flexibilidade também é um importante componente na mensuração do nível de aptidão física das pessoas e a sua redução está associada a fatores como idade, sexo e regularidade na prática de atividades físicas 16 , podendo ser evitada por meio da prescrição de exercícios específicos 17 . Aprimorar a flexibilidade permite que os exercícios sejam executados com maior amplitude de movimento e de maneira mais eficiente.…”
