Effects of Physical Activity Governmental Programs on Health Status in Independent Older Adults: A Systematic Review

“…One in Japan was funded by the local government of Kaga city (Yokoya et al, 2009), and two were done in South America, one by the federal government of Brazil (Figueira et al, 2012) and the other by the Senior Center of the municipality of Berisso, Buenos Aires, Argentina (Marin et al, 2009). (Wellman et al, 2004).…”

“…It initially involved 206 participants (82% females, without specifying the average age, race/ethnicity, the professionals in charge of the program or the specific funding) and had a retention rate of 74.1%. In relation to the type of study, two of the selected studies were randomized controlled trials (Figueira et al, 2012;Marin et al, 2009), and three descriptive (Wellman et al, 2007;Wunderlich et al, 2009;Yokoya et al, 2009). They analyzed the effects of PA programs (Figueira et al, 2012), health and pathology prevention promotion (Marin et al, 2009), nutritional education and PA (Wellman et al, 2007;Wunderlich et al, 2009) and fall risk prevention (Yokoya et al, 2009) regarding the perception of the quality of life (Figueira et al, 2012;Marin et al, 2009), complications associated with aging (Marin et al, 2009), fall risk (Yokoya et al, 2009), nutritional risk (Marin et al, 2009;Wellman et al, 2007;Wunderlich et al, 2009), physical fitness (Wellman et al, 2007;Yokoya et al, 2009), physical activity levels (Wellman et al, 2007) and general health status (Wunderlich et al, 2009) in different groups of older adults.…”

“…The main activities included in the PA programs were muscle strengthening exercises (Figueira et al, 2012;Marin et al, 2009;Wunderlich et al, 2009;Yokoya et al, 2009), stretching (Figueira et al, 2012Marin et al, 2009;Wellman et al, 2007;Wunderlich et al, 2009;Yokoya et al, 2009), walking (Figueira et al, 2012Wellman et al, 2007;Wunderlich et al, 2009;Yokoya et al, 2009), hydrogymnastics (Figueira et al, 2012, healthy dance (Marin et al, 2009), balance exercises (Wunderlich et al, 2009), and recreational sports and rhythm exercises (Yokoya et al, 2009), executed mostly at a moderate intensity (Exercise intensity is only reported in Figueira et al, 2012;Marin et al, 2009;Wunderlich et al, 2009). The duration of the programs (period under evaluation) was diverse, including 12 weeks (Figueira et al, 2012), 12 months (Marin et al, 2009;Wellman et al, 2007), three years (Yokoya et al, 2009) and four years (Wunderlich et al, 2009).…”

“…The selected studies used different indicators for assessing the effects of PA programs. At the physical level, BMI (Marin et al, 2009;Wunderlich et al, 2009), body fat mass percentage (Wunderlich et al, 2009), mobility and habitual physical activity (Wellman et al, 2007) and the activities of daily living, physical fitness and fall risk (Yokoya et al, 2009) were considered.…”

“…Regarding physiological aspects, the studies measured resting heart rate, blood glucose, cholesterol, systolic and diastolic arterial pressure (Marin et al, 2009;Wunderlich et al, 2009), "Effects of Physical Activity Governmental Programs on Health Status in Independent Older Adults: A Systematic Review" by Valdés-Badilla P et al Journal of Aging and Physical Activity © 2018 Human Kinetics, Inc. and triglycerides (Marin et al, 2009). Nutritional risk was screened through various instruments based on the Nutrition Screening Initiative -NSI checklist (Posner, Jette, Smith, & Miller, 1993).…”
