“…Another study indicates a significant relationship between marital status and the degree of dependence of all the cognitive and functionality indicators (30). National studies reveal a good average of basic activities of daily living (21,31) and highlight that "physical function decreases with age and produces a broad spectrum of negative effects, like difficulty in mobility, social isolation, diminished quality of life, disability, and need for internship in a specialized institution" (32). Although an important number of elderly subjects in the research has preserved functionality, what is important is to maintain and increase "physical activity" (28) to maintain functionality.…”

Objective: To identify the sociodemographic and health characteristics of the elderly in the Life Center programs in four municipalities of the department of Meta, Colombia. Materials and Methods: Descriptive study with quantitative variables, non-probabilistic design with selection of units by discretionary sampling, in a sample of 819 older adults. A cognitive evaluation was carried out, along with depression scale, basic activities of daily living, evaluation of gait and balance, index for the instrumental activity of daily living, and comorbidity index. Results: The multiple correspondence analysis indicates independent men with absence of non-depressive comorbidity and null risk of falls. In turn, women (profile: without studies, widowed) do have comorbidity, cognitive impairment, dependence, and greater fall risk. Conclusions: It is fundamental to work on strengthening the formation of professionals, community agents, caregivers of older adults, as well as in the development of programs for health promotion that foster active aging.

“…The interventions focused on the realisation of physical activity have shown their effectiveness, and that it is possible to delay and, in many cases, reverse fragility and dependence. The same goes for the practice of Tai-Chi, which can help reduce the risk of suffering a fall in the older adult population [23,24]. However, despite the fact that we carry out preventive interventions and work on the physical condition of the elderly, they will still be subject to the risk of falling and this is where JUA represents a unique intervention, proposing strategies of action to fall safely and securely, to retain mobility on the ground (once the fall has occurred) and to get back to a standing position.…”

Adapted Utilitarian Judo: The Adaptation of a Traditional Martial Art as a Program for the Improvement of the Quality of Life in Older Adult Populations

et al. 2018

This article reports on the Adapted Utilitarian Judo project. The use of the foundations and technical elements of traditional Judo, adapted and contextualised to the requirements of the older adult population, orienting the activity toward the field of health and the improvement of the quality of life of the older adult. Its mission is to facilitate maintaining and improving the functionality and autonomy of this population, with respect to the performance of the basic and instrumental activities of daily life. At the same it seeks to achieve this while maintaining the essence of the values that are inherent to the practice of Judo as a traditional martial art. It is argued that Judo, once adapted to focus on a utilitarian function, not only allows to actively influence aspects such as maintaining the physical qualities of the elderly but also fosters other key elements for active and healthy ageing by participating in an ongoing group activity, such as socialisation and self-esteem. More specifically, the paper presents how adapted Judo represents an innovation in the treatment of a risk factor associated with aging: the active prevention of falls. We conclude that Adapted Utilitarian Judo (JUA) is both a timely and relevant as a social and educational tool of great value, responds to propos called for by the international scientific community for programs aimed at improving the health and quality of life of the older adult population, especially in Europe, that is ageing at a fast pace.

“…Silva-Zemanate MA et al 12 , estudiaron la relación del Tai Chi con la capacidad funcional en un grupo de mujeres adultas mayores. Encontraron que en la Escala de Tinetti, referente a la prueba de balance la cual evalúa de manera objetiva y estandarizada el balance dinámico como estático, obtenida antes del programa de ejercicios, 59 % de la población presentó una calificación normal y, al finalizar el programa de ejercicios, se incrementó en un 27 %.…”

“…Las medias del grupo de Tai Chi en las dimensiones atención, memoria y construcción fueron mayores que las del grupo de control. Con esto se demuestra que en los grupos con práctica de Tai Chi mejoraron de manera significativa los síntomas psicológicos.En otro estudio, Silva-Zemanate MA et al12 utilizaron la práctica del Tai Chi para evaluar su efecto sobre la capacidad funcional de un grupo de adultos mayores. Posterior a la práctica aplicaron la prueba t de Student pareada; los componentes con diferencia estadísticamente significativa fueron: memoria (p= 0.047), atención-cálculo (p= 0.012) y lenguaje (p= 0.002).…”
