“…However, positive effects are not fulfilled in every anatomic zone. Likewise, increasing of strength and muscle mass in elder people has been confirmed (Cadore et al, 2010;Mayer et al, 2011;Romero-Arenas, 2013), as well as equilibrium improvement (Madureira et al, 2007). Moreover, among several other positive effects (Vincent et al, 2012), an increase in cardiovascular performance (Vigorito & Giallauria, 2014) or a decrease in bodyweight in obese people (Bocalini et al, 2012) has been achieved.…”

Abstract:The objective of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of a physical activity program addressed to older people. 48 people were involved in the performance of calcaneus bone ultrasonography and anthropometry tests. Afterwards, over six months, all physical activity was registered. At the end of this period, ultrasonography and anthropometry tests were again performed. Quality of life was also measured. Collected data show great incidence of overweight and osteoporosis. However, the training program does not significantly reduce fat mass but it does not increase the muscle mass either. Furthermore, bone mass loss reached 2.2% (p=0.003). These results show the inefficiency of a training program with the usual features of physical activities offered to older people. If the results of our study are confirmed, this kind of programs would not be contributing to achieve a healthy aging process, at least from a physical point of view.

“…Atrophy of type II muscle fibers without any reduction in the number of muscle cells is also found in Nilwik's study. [13][14][15] A previous study also found the presence of increased LELM after performign the muscle strengthening exercises. These differences are attributed to the fact that the all participants are women in the age range of 46-56 years in this study while the research done by Thomas consists of 30-40 years old male sand females.…”

Objective: To discover whether quadriceps resistance exercise could increase quadriceps strength as well as its relation to lower extremity lean mass. Methods:This study was a pre-and post-experimental study in which 36 participants with knee OA grade 2 and 3 were recruited. Assesment of leg lean mass and quadriceps strength was taken before and after intervention. Participants practiced quadriceps isotonic resistance exercise 3 times a week for 8 weeks. This study was conducted in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung from September 2014 to February 2015.Results: After the intervention, an increase in quadriceps strength was seen but not in the lower extremity lean mass. Statistical analysis showed that there was no correlation between lower extremity lean mass and quadriceps strength. Conclusions:Quadriceps strength is found to increase after intervention. No increase is found in the lower extremity lean mass.

“…Há evidências científicas de que o exercício físico regular prescrito adequadamente para o idoso gera benefícios para manutenção nas funções da vida diária e também pode minimizar o declínio cognitivo, psicológico e os efeitos fisiológicos decorrentes do envelhecimento e do sedentarismo, promovendo melhora da qualidade de vida 9 . Um programa regular de treinamento físico que incorpore exercícios resistidos em idosos promove aumento da força e da massa muscular e melhora das funções motoras 4 .…”

“…No processo de envelhecimento há modificações físico-funcionais importantes como o declínio da força e massa muscular, perdas das habilidades motoras, redução nas funções neurais e déficit de equilíbrio, promovendo assim aumento do risco de quedas, doenças crônicas degenerativas e lesões articulares 3 . No envelhecimento também há declínio na capacidade cognitiva, decorrentes das alterações em células e tecidos neurais, que geram envelhecimento cerebral e promovem aumento do risco de demências 4 .…”

Introdução: Com o crescente aumento da população de idosos cresce também as doenças neurológicas degenerativas, como a Doença de Alzheimer (DA). A DA acarreta declínios cognitivos, déficit de equilíbrio, perdas na força muscular e nas funções físicas, resultando em perda de qualidade de vida. Sabe-se atualmente que o exercício físico, na modalidade resistido, é uma intervenção que ameniza as perdas cognitivas e motoras no processo de envelhecimento. Objetivo: Verificar os possíveis benefícios do treinamento resistido em idosos com DA. Materiais e Métodos: Revisão narrativa de literatura, com busca nas bases de dados: Pubmed, Lilacs, e Bireme, com as palavras “strenght exercise”, “exercise training”, “resistance training”, “strength training” e “muscle strength associados a “Alzheimer”. Resultados: Foram encontrados 241 artigos, dos quais foram selecionados 10. Para as variáveis: Atividade de Vida Diária, Atividades Instrumentais de Vida Diária e Qualidade de Vida ainda são inconclusivos os benefícios do treinamento resistido. O treinamento combinado, contendo exercícios de força, caminhada, flexibilidade equilíbrio e agilidade, apresenta benefícios para o aumento na força muscular, melhoras no equilíbrio, função cognitiva e função física (capacidade de caminhar, subir e descer escadas, sentar e levantar) em idosos com DA. Conclusão: Estudos mais confiáveis, com metodologia sistemática e avaliação de risco de viés, precisam ser realizados para afirmar os benefícios descritos e padronizar intensidade, duração, volume de exercícios resistidos em idosos com DA.
