“…For example, in the study of Dantas [17] conducted with 2,158 elderly women aged from 60 to 88 years and independent in daily life activities, the means of the tests for each age group were predominantly classified as regular. In the study of Oliveira [18] with 120 elderly women practicing four different types of physical activities, the results were weak for all the tests.…”

The objective was to verify the attitudes regarding old age and the functional capacity of elderly women practicing physical exercises. This is a cross-sectional study, realized with 200 women. The Functional Protocol of the Latin American Development Group for Maturity (GDLAM) and the Scale for Assessment of Attitudes in Relation to Old Age was used. There was a significant correlation only in the stand up from sitting position test, with the domains of expectations regarding activity (r=-0.31), satisfaction with life (r=0.38) and death anxiety (r=-0.27). It can be concluded that there is correlation between some domains of the functional capacity test and the attitudes towards old age.

“…In exercises focused on older people, fitness centers are a meeting point helping prevent depression and stress and improve sociability among these individuals. Such attributes probably positively influence the perception of levels of quality of life as assessed by WHOQOL-old among the above facets (8) .…”

“…The smaller the scores obtained, the higher the level of functional capacity. GDLAM was calculated as follows: GDLAM = [(walking 10 meters + standing up in a sitting position + standing up in the prone position + putting on and taking off a shirt x2] + standing up from a chair and moving around the house ________________________________________ 4 Quality of life was evaluated by the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Bref), which consists of 26 questions divided into four domains, ranging from 4-20 for each domain, and 20-100 for the overall quality of life, and also WHQOOL-Old, which is composed of 24 questions divided into five fa-cets, ranging from 4-20 each facet and 0-100 for the overall quality of life (8) .…”

Objective: to compare the functional capacity and quality of life of older women practicing and not practicing hydrogymnastics. Methods: this is a simple natural experiment study, of a sample of 40 older women practicing hydrogymnastics and 40 not practicing hydrogymnastics. Latin American Development Group's protocol was used to evaluate the functional capacity, and the WHOQOL-Bref and Old was used to evaluate the quality of life. Results: there were no differences in functional capacity or quality of life between the groups. Conclusion: it is concluded that there was not enough strong evidence to prove that older women practicing hydrogymnastics have a different functional capacity and quality of life compared to those not practicing physical exercise.Objetivo: comparar a capacidade funcional e a qualidade de vida de mulheres idosas que praticam e que não praticam hidroginástica. Métodos: trata-se de um experimento simples natural, de uma amostra de 40 mulheres idosas praticantes de hidroginástica e 40 não praticantes. O protocolo do Grupo de Desenvolvimento Latino-Americano foi utilizado para avaliar a capacidade funcional e o WHOQOL-Bref e o WHOQOL-Old para avaliar a qualidade de vida. Resultados: não houve diferenças na capacidade funcional ou qualidade de vida entre os grupos. Conclusão: conclui-se que não houve evidência suficiente para provar que mulheres idosas praticantes de hidroginástica têm capacidade funcional e qualidade de vida diferentes em comparação com aquelas que não praticam exercício físico.

“…Regular physical exercising seems to contribute to the improvement and/or maintenance of functional autonomy in seniors. Aquatic exercises, hydrogymnastics specifically, provide postural stability due to the hydrostatic pressure 16,17 , reduction of joint overload, owing to the thrust force and water resistance, as a consequence of the viscosity 14 .…”

To Verify the effects of hydrogymnastics on functional autonomy in elderly women. Method: In November 2018, a systematic review of the literature was performed in the databases MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS, PEDro, Cochrane, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, SCOPUS e CINAHL. Two independent researchers selected randomized clinical trials, which evaluated the effects of hydrogymnastics over healthy elderly women performance on functional tests performance on functional tests. From each study they selected the number of participants in both experimental and control groups (EG and CG), age, intervention protocol, mean and standard deviation before and after the intervention for the following variables: legs and biceps muscular strength, posterior muscle chain extensibility, and agility -all of which compose the functional autonomy on Rikli and Jones test. We analyzed the methodological quality and the risk of bias through the Jadad Scale and the Cochrane tool respectively. We performed the data analysis through the random effects model and the mean difference between CG and EG. The analysis of the publication bias was done with Egger Test. Results: We found a total of 887 studies in the aforementioned databases, and five randomized clinical trials were included in the present meta-analysis. In spite of the evidence level is very low, the hydrogymnastics promoted an increase in agility and leg muscle strength in elderly women.
