“…Igualmente Escobar y Divisón (2016) afirman que el ejercicio físico se asocia con un descenso de la mortalidad total, parece que existe una curva en J, de tal forma que mientras que realizar jogging con una intensidad leve o moderada se asociaba con un descenso de la mortalidad. Asimismo, aplicar intervenciones de actividad física de intensidad suave es una garantía de mejora en la salud funcional y la calidad de vida en las personas mayores (Font et al, 2020).…”

La actividad física realizada de manera sistemática es la piedra angular frente a las enfermedades. Los docentes universitarios por las múltiples responsabilidades, y viviendo en confinamiento son propensos a desarrollar el estrés y el sobrepeso. El objetivo de la investigación es determinar la relación de la actividad física, el estrés con el Índice de Masa Corporal en docentes universitarios en pandemia. El tipo de investigación es básica, con diseño descriptivo correlacional múltiple con una población de 1150 docentes y con una muestra de tipo probabilística de 234 docentes (150 varones y 84 mujeres) con promedio de edad 49.70 ± 10.01, los instrumentos utilizados son los cuestionarios de actividad física, estrés y el reporte de sus medidas antropométricas (estatura y peso). Resultados el 58.86% de varones presentan actividad física baja, en comparación con las mujeres 41.14%, el 91.95% muestran estrés por presión laboral, los varones presentan mayor tendencia al sobrepeso 67.59%, en comparación con las mujeres 32.41% y obesidad grado II 33.96%. Se determina la relación entre las variables actividad física, estrés y el Índice de Masa Corporal con un Rho de Spearman inversamente proporcional de -0,183 y -0,204. En conclusión, los docentes varones muestran porcentajes más altos de inactividad física y sobrepeso.

“…Physical activity seems to be associated with a better ability to cope with stress [ 33 ], as well as a decrease in burnout symptoms [ 34 ], reduction in anxiety symptoms [ 35 ] and even absence of anxiety [ 36 ]. Also, PA is a guarantee of improvement of functional health and quality of life in older adults [ 37 ], its practice is closely related to health and quality of life benefits [ 38 ].…”

The purpose of the study was to understand the effects of gender and age on anxiety, optimism, resilience and engagement in a group of older adults. An observational, quantitative, descriptive and transversal design was used with non-probabilistic sampling. Descriptive statistical analyses, reliability tests (Cronbach’s alpha) and linear correlation tests (Pearson’s) were performed, and the development of multivariate linear regression models was conducted. Female participants in the sample had higher levels in anxiety and pessimism, while male participants scored higher in optimism, engagement and resilience. Participants who practiced physical activity (PA) had better scores in optimism, engagement and resilience. The sample comprised 55.1% men and 44.9% women, between the ages of 51 and 93, with an average of 68.1 years, all participants completed the questionnaire Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2) the Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R) the short version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale questionnaire (UWES-9) the short version of the CD-RISC. As for marital status, there were significant differences between single participants and romantic partner. Singles participants showed higher levels of anxiety than their married counterparts, while those in a relationship scored higher in optimism, engagement and resilience. The model was statistically significant F (9;352) = 14.6; p < 0.001, explaining 27% of the variance in optimism. The data indicated that PA practice and living with a partner in an inland area is associated with less anxiety, which may have implications for programs and activities designed for older adults.

“…Regular physical activity has been implemented as one of the strategies at the international level and has been shown to help prevent and treat noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), improve mental health, quality of life, well-being, functional capacity and decrease mortality (Font-Jutglà et al, 2020;Gallegos et al, 2019); these strategies and guidelines have been directed from the recreational, leisure and physical exercise spheres (Ramírez-Villada et al, 2015). In Colombia, the policy on human aging and old age, headed by the National Council of Older Persons, has proposed guidelines focused on the promotion of health and quality of life (QOL), as well as disease prevention, wellbeing, healthy lifestyles and protection of this population group (Minsalud, 2021).…”

“…Different studies have shown that targeted physical exercise programs for the elderly improve functional fitness (Escalante et al, 2019), gait (Font-Jutglà et al, 2020) and upper and lower extremity muscle strength, especially those that include multicomponent training, evidencing a decrease in body mass index (BMI) (Vargas-Vitoria et al, 2021), mental illnesses such as depression and even dementia, thus contributing to comprehensive well-being (Durán-Agüero et al, 2017). In this sense, such programs stand out in promoting actions that generate an increase in quality of life justified in the perceptions from physical and mental well-being, independence and social integration (Vargas-Vitoria et al, 2021); however, despite the fact that several researches have focused on the link physical activity has with functional condition and health-related quality of life (Castro-Coronado et al, 2021;, studies focusing on the possible relationship between physical activity and well-being are limited.…”

Study purpose. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of strength training exercises on functional capacity, quality of life and perception of well-being in elderly people. Materials and Methods. It was used a mixed study with sequential explanatory design, in which 25 elderly females between 62 and 85 years participated in a physical exercise program for eight weeks, with a frequency of 3 days and sessions of 58 minutes on average. The Senior Fitness Test battery of test item was conducted with a grip strength test, heart rate monitoring in a 6-minute test, SF-36 health questionnaire and post-intervention focus group oriented to well-being analysis. Results. Cardiorespiratory capacities, strength and flexibility improved significantly (p< .05), but agility and heart rate did not change (p> .05). Scores increased in the 8 quality of life dimensions analyzed, and in subjective well-being, health improvement was identified in both the self-perception and autonomy of daily activities related to vitality, motivation, social interaction and adherence to physical activity. The findings indicate that physical exercise based on strength training improves functional capacity, health-related quality of life and the well-being of seniors. Conclusions. The findings of this study show that eight weeks of physical exercise based on strength training with affordable means (own body weight, elastic bands and dumbbells) with a frequency of 3 days a week, contribute to improving the functional capacity of strength and flexibility in upper and lower limbs, and cardiorespiratory endurance in older females. This intervention was also found to have a positive impact on quality of life, as well as on the perception of well-being.
