“…These results are corroborated by Silva et al (2009), who used resistance exercises with 40 elderly women and obtained significant improvements in GDLAM protocol autonomy tests in the four-week neurogenic phase, using moderate intensity (50% 1RM), and in the 12-week intervention at high intensity (90% 1RM). This suggests that the Acta Scientiarum.…”

“…Functional autonomy was evaluated using the GDLAM autonomy protocol (DANTAS; VALE, 2005), composed of the following tests: 10 meter walk (10MW) (SPILÃ et al, 1996), rising from a sitting position (RSP) (GURALNIK et al, 1994), rising from a ventral decubitus position (RVDP) (ALEXANDER et al, 1997), rising from a chair and moving around the house (RCMH) (ANDREOTTI; OKUMA, 1999) and putting on and taking off a t-shirt (PTT) (DANTAS; VALE et al, 2006a). All tests were conducted during two attempts for each individual in a suitable environment, with a minimum interval of 5-min., in which the shorter time (seconds) was measured with a stopwatch (Casio, Brazil).…”

The present study aimed to determine the effects of a physical activity program on the functional autonomy of elderly women. The sample was divided into an experimental group (EG; n = 20; 68.51 ± 5.02 years; BMI = 27.01 ± 4.35) submitted to a physical activity program, and a control group (CG; n = 20; 67.01 ± 3.51 years; BMI = 26.71 ± 5.74). Functional autonomy was assessed using tests from the GDLAM autonomy protocol: 10 meter walk test (10MW), rising from a sitting position (RSP), rising from a ventral decubitus position (RVDP), rising from a chair and moving around the house (RCMH) and putting on and taking off a t-shirt (PTT), after which the autonomy index (AI) was calculated. In the EG, ANOVA showed significant reductions in execution times for the RSP (∆ =-3.92 s; p = 0.0001), RCMH (∆ =-9.61 s; p = 0.0001), 10MW (∆ =-0.94 s; p = 0.038) and RVDP (∆ =-1.15 s; p = 0.036) tests, as well as the AI (∆ =-6.27; p = 0.0001). This was not observed in the CG. Intergroup comparisons demonstrated that execution times for the RSP (∆% =-36.63; p = 0.0001), RCMH (∆% =-20.27; p = 0.0001), 10mW (∆% =-12.54; p = 0.002) and RVDP (∆% =-25.10; p = 0.005) tests and the AI (∆% =-21.37; p = 0.0001) of the EG were shorter than those of the CG. These results indicate that elderly subjects in the EG showed improved performance in activities of daily living after engaging in physical exercise.

“…The findings of the current study are also corroborated by the results found by Silva et al 39 who studied a similar age group and also reported significant improvements in FA following a strength training program. Although the exercise intervention is different, the present investigation reached, through a hydrogymnastics program, satisfactory levels of FA in the HG.…”

Background & aim: Decreases in the organic form and function inherent to the aging process tend to reduce the functional capacity and the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) hormone levels in the elderly. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of hydrogymnastics on IGF-1 serum levels and functional autonomy (FA) in elderly women.Methods: 28 elderly women were randomly divided into 2 groups: hydrogymnastics group (HG, n=14; age: 66.55±3.77years; BMI: 27.03±5.44kg/m 2 ) and control group (CG, n=14; age: 66.33±4.52years; BMI: 29.82±4.96kg/m 2 ). The intervention with hydrogymnastics was performed 3 times per week during 12 weeks. Each session was composed of warming up, main part and cool-down, totaling 50 minutes of duration. The IGF-1 levels were analyzed by chemiluminescence. The GDLAM protocol of FA was applied -walking 10 m (W10m); rising from the sitting position (RSP); rising from a ventral decubitus position (RVDP); sitting in, rising from, and walking around a chair (SRWC); and putting on and taking off a t-shirt (PTTs) -and the overall autonomy index (AI) was calculated. Results:The HG showed a significant increase in IGF-1 serum levels after the intervention when compared to CG. The execution times in the GDLAM protocol tests were significantly lower in the HG, except in the SRWC, and the HG also presented a significant improvement in the AI post-intervention (p<0.05). Conclusion:The 12-week hydrogymnastics intervention contributed to an increase in IGF-1 serum levels and to improve the performance in activities of daily living (ADL) in the elderly women.

“…One evaluated elderly between 60 and 77 years post intervention with a resistance training program, getting a functional evaluation Protocol of the Latin American Development Group for the Maturity for classified as good, that is, an even better score than older practitioners of weight training in the present study (functional evaluation Protocol of the Latin American Development Group for the Maturity weak) (14) . Another study conducted intervention with exercise in elderly women with a mean age of 64.5 years, confirming a regular functional capacity (15) .…”

Objective: to compare the functional capacity and cognitive ability of elderly women engaged in various forms of physical exercise. Methods: quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, observational and analytical study with 120 volunteers, divided into three groups of 40 elderly: water aerobics group, fitness center of the third age group and weight training group. Functional ability was assessed by functional evaluation Protocol of the Latin American Development Group for the Maturity and the cognitive ability was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination. Results: the functional capacity of elderly in the three modalities were classified as weak, showing no significant difference between groups (p = 0.082). Cognitive ability reached nearly maximum scores in the three modalities of exercise, without statistical significance (p = 0.062). Conclusion: functional capacity of elderly women is low and the type of exercise does not interfere with cognitive performance.
