Evaluating the muscular strength, functional capacity, and risk of sarcopenia in elderly women who practice Mat Pilates

Abstract: Introduction: Despite the importance of appropriate levels of muscular strength to maintain the functional capacity and a healthy life in old age, the current literature still lacks studies that investigate the profile of elderly women who practice Mat Pilates regarding these variables. Objective: This study aimed to analyze muscular strength, functional capacity, and risk of sarcopenia in elderly women who practiced Mat Pilates. Method: This is a cross-sectional study carried out with 50 elderly women wh… Show more

“…In the study conducted by Oliveira, et al 16 , the objective was to investigate muscle strength, functional capacity and the indication of sarcopenia in elderly people practicing pilates on the floor. The observational study shows us that the lack of physical exercise can affect and lead to the development of sarcopenia, which is defined as the progressive loss of muscle mass associated with functional decline.…”

“…Outros estudos realizados com idosos praticantes do método Pilates apresentaram evidências também na melhora da estabilidade postural, ganho de equilíbrio e redução no risco de quedas em comparação a idosos não praticantes de atividades físicas, sendo benéfico também na melhora da independência funcional ao realizar suas Atividades de Vida Diárias (AVDs), além de estar relacionado a redução do risco de sarcopenia. (PATTI et al, 2021;OLIVEIRA et al, 2019).…”

“…3 O pós-operatório de AQ, associado à redução física e cognitiva que os idosos podem apresentar em decorrência do processo natural de envelhecimento, pode contribuir para uma intensificação dos déficits funcionais. 4,5 Os idosos em processo de hospitalização podem ter a capacidade funcional comprometida de forma permanente ou temporária, visto que a internação é um evento complexo que compromete a autonomia e pode contribuir para o declínio cognitivo.
