“…As quedas constituem um grave problema de saúde 4 e são as maiores responsáveis por fraturas no quadril 5 e morbidez entre os idosos 6 . Na maioria das vezes as quedas ocorrem durante a marcha e normalmente são ocasionadas por um tropeço [7][8][9] .…”

“…A systematic review 30 investigates the effects of physical exercise programs in reducing the risk of falls in the old people of the community, concluding that there is a need for appropriate methods to identify the most susceptible people to this occurrence, and suggesting that the exposition be controlled to experimental situations similar to the real conditions of a fall.…”

-The classic and cognitive "Timed Up and Go" tests (TUG) are used to identify old people prone to falls, but we were unable to find studies that prove their association in old people practicing physical exercise. The objective of this study was to analyze the classic and cognitive versions of TUG in forecasting and explaining the occurrence of falls in old people practicing physical exercise. Participants included 82 physically active old people. Data were collected on the occurrence of falls in the past 12 months among those who performed the classic and the cognitive TUG tests through the pronunciation of animals while performing the test. We used descriptive and inferential statistics with a significance level of 5%. A binary logistic regression was performed to associate the outcome (falls) and the performance in the tests. To identify the predictive values, the ROC Curve was used. The occurrence of falls in the sample was 19.5%. There was a significant difference between the values obtained in the TUG classic and cognitive tests (9.0 ± 1.9 and 10.0 ± 2.2 seconds, respectively). There was no difference between the old people with and without a history of falls in both tests, despite the averages being higher in old people with a history. In the logistic regression analysis, the performance of both versions did not explain the occurrence of falls. In the ROC curve, the TUG classic test showed an accuracy of 65.3% (p= 0.058) and the TUG cognitive test of 58.1% (p= 0.324). The TUG classic and cognitive tests did not correlate with the occurrence of falls and should be used with caution for predicting falls in old people practicing physical exercise. Key words: Accidents caused by falls; Exercise; Old people.

“…The effectiveness of physical exercise in reducing the risk of falls has been addressed previously in studies. 16,27,28 In the study by Soares & Sacchelli, 29 it was possible to verify the effect of a program of kinesiotherapy on the balance of elderly individuals, with the results obtained showing an increase of three points on the BBS following the program. There was also a statistically significant improvement in terms of risk of falls, with the training program including components such as strength, flexibility and somatosensory, vestibular and visual aspects, Regular physical exercise performed by a group of active elderly women and another group of sedentary elderly women showed that such activity has a positive influence on the maintenance of balance, meaning that the chances of suffering a fall are lower for active elderly women.…”

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of an exercise program on the postural balance and risk of falls of institutionalized elderly persons. A randomized controlled trial was performed. The study was conducted in two long-stay philanthropic care facilities for the elderly in a city in the north of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Participants were divided into control (G1) and intervention groups (G2). G1 did not receive any type of intervention whereas G2 participated in an exercise program three times a week for twelve weeks. The groups were evaluated by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT). After the intervention, G2 achieved better scores in both BBS and in the TUGT, indicating a significant improvement in body balance and a reduction in the risk of falls compared to G1. The Spearman ordinal correlation revealed that there was a statistically significant association between BBS and TUGT ( p<0.001). G1 did not present positive results compared to G2 both at baseline and in post intervention. It can be inferred that the proposed exercise program was effective in improving body balance and the performance of functional tasks, contributing to an improvement in the risk of falls as a result.
