“…The outcome more relevant in relation to the sedentary lifestyle was the performance of usual routine measured with the Barthel's scale. Chen's study (2008) [16] shows similar results in relation to the upgrading that his subjects could get due to his patients were more dependent with the self-care than the subjects of this study who could assist to the class by their selves. About the impaired memory, the revision about cognitive results shows an important improvement like in the study of Yukai Chang (2010) [17], in spite he usedanother test, an MMSE.…”

Aging is the physiological process, which starts in the conception producing characteristic changes to all the species during their life cycle. In the last decades of life, those changes produce a limit on adaptations of organisms in relation to their environment. Those problems can be processed by three diagnoses -Impaired physical mobility, sedentary lifestyle and impaired memory. The methodology proposes 18 outcomes included in the last version of NOC. Those outcomes are used to assess the intervention of tai chi during the four months developed with a group of 19 women older than 55 years which they presented theses diagnoses. The correlations were studied with Pearson and Spearman. The difference of variables between first sample and the last sample, which were more significant in relation to sedentary lifestyle. This is a pilot experience but it is the first step to the challenge of making standard instruments and scales for the outcomes of the nursing methodology.

Meditative Movement for Respiratory Function: A Systematic Review

et al. 2013

BACKGROUND:Meditative movement, such as tai chi, yoga, and qi gong, may benefit people with cystic fibrosis (CF), as a form of gentle exercise incorporating meditation, breathing, and relaxation. Respiratory function is the most common issue in CF. In this systematic review we synthesized the evidence on the effect of meditative movement on respiratory function in patients with CF. METHODS: We searched Chinese and English language databases with terms relating to tai chi/yoga/qi gong, and respiratory function/cough/dyspnea. Articles were screened and selected by 2 researchers. We included controlled studies published in English or Chinese after 1980, and extracted data using a specially designed spreadsheet. Two researchers independently evaluated study quality and reporting, using 3 standardized checklists. Meta-analysis was not possible due to heterogeneous methods. RESULTS: We found 1,649 papers, included 43 (30 in English, 13 in Chinese), 23 of which were randomized controlled trials, and 20 were non-randomized trials. No studies were concerned with CF. Eleven studies included patients with respiratory disorders, and 27 included healthy people. Very few studies were high quality. The main problems with the randomized controlled trials was the randomization and non-random and/or poorly reported sampling. The main problems with the non-randomized studies were poor reporting of samples and non-equivalent groups. Although no clinically important changes were found, meditative movement may improve FEV 1 in healthy people, compared to no treatment/exercise (the intervention groups showed effect-size changes from 0.07 to 0.83), but meditative movement did not appear to affect FEV 1 /FVC in subjects with COPD. Key study limitations were: poor reporting of sampling or methods; inadequate sample size; non-randomized design; inadequate description of randomization; randomization by center; no blinding; lack of reporting of important aspects of meditative movement; and short-term follow-up.

ВведениеФизическая активность имеет большое значение для жизни пожилого человека. Это помогает укрепить здоровье и увеличить про-должительность и качество активной жизни. Физическая нагрузка оказывает тонизирую-щее воздействие на нервную, сердечнососуди-стую и дыхательную системы, улучшает про-цессы обмена веществ, поддерживает двига-тельные навыки и умения.Китайская гимнастика тайцзицюань имеет широкое распространение в Китае. Она применяется при лечении некоторых болезней сердечнососудистой системы, нервной си-стемы, желудочно-кишечного тракта, занимая не меньшее место, чем лекарственная терапия. Большое значение ей придается в профилак-тике расстройств и нарушений, связанных со старческим возрастом [1].Майер Борис Олегович -доктор философских наук, профессор кафедры физического воспи-тания, Новосибирский государственный педагогический университет, Новосибирск, Россия.
