“…Although we found no statistical difference in LLR between genders, the men still achieved higher values than the women, which corroborates the Brazilian literature (13). One factor that may have interfered with the test is density of the human body, which is slightly lower than water density (0.974).…”

“…The results obtained by our sample of healthy Brazilians on the FR and LR tests in a therapeutic pool were lower than those of tests administered on the ground (11)(12)(13)22). Silveira (13) Postural stability is the ability to maintain the projected center of mass within the limits of the base of support.…”

“…This may explain the noncorrelation between the tests and foot length. Silveira (13) investigated a sample of the Brazilian population and reported that other factors may also influence functional reach, namely: fear of falls, joint flexibility of ankle and hip, as well as lower limb muscle strength, especially of plantar flexors, dorsiflexors and hip abductors and adductors. Body composition, immersion level, adaptation to the water environment and water temperature are factors that may have influenced our test results.…”

Introduction: Functional reach (FR) and lateral reach (LR) tests are widely used in scientific research and clinical practice. Assessment tools are useful in assessing subjects with greater accuracy and are usually adapted according to the limitations of each condition. Objective: To adapt FR and LR tests for use in an aquatic environment and assess the performance of healthy young adults. Methods: We collected anthropometric data and information on whether the participant exercised regularly or not. The FR and LR tests were adapted for use in an aquatic environment and administered to 47 healthy subjects aged 20-30 years. Each test was repeated three times. Results: Forty-one females and six males were assessed. The mean FR test score for men was 24.06 cm, whereas the mean value for right lateral reach (RLR) was 10.94 cm and for left lateral reach (LLR) was 9.78 cm. For females, the mean FR score was 17.57 cm, while the mean values for RLR was 8.84cm and for LLR was 7.76 cm. Men performed better in the FR (p < 0.001) and RLR tests than women (p = 0.037). Individuals who exercised regularly showed no differences in performance level when compared with their counterparts. Conclusion: The FR and LR tests were adapted for use in an aquatic

“…Among these tests, the most used are the balance scale and the performance oriented mobility assessment -POMA 8,9 , the timed up and go test TUGT 3,10 , the functional reach -FR 11,12 and the Berg balance scale -BBS 13,14 . The majority of these tests has been chosen for their easiness and low cost; however, little is known about these tests correlation between each other and how they correlate with objective measurements set by posturography tests through a force platform (FP).…”

Several balance tests have been used to identify postural control and the risk of falls in the elderly. However, it is not known which tests better reflect effectively the ability to maintain balance. The objective of this study was to compare a number of field tests (FT) designed to determine balance with stabilometric tests using force platforms (FP) to determine whether these tests are able to discriminate differences in balance between young and older adults. Twenty-one young (21.7±2.0 years) and 18 older adults (69.3±7.0 years) of both genders volunteered to participate in the study. The field tests were: Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA), Functional Reach (FR) and Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT). The variables analyzed in the FP were: center of pressure displacement in the anteroposterior (AMP-AP) and medio-lateral direction (AMP-ML) and total sway of the center of pressure (TRAJ-CP). The subjects were evaluated in five conditions of 60s each. One-way ANOVA was applied to determine differences in balance tests between groups (young x elderly). In addition, the Spearman correlation test was used to identify the correlation between FT and FP. The FTs were able to discriminate young from elderly (p ≤ 0.05). The FP tests also discriminated groups, except for AMP-AP in two experimental conditions. The correlation coefficients indicated that the tests BBS (r =-0:43 ± 0.04) and TUGT (r = 0.45 ± 0.10) showed the largest correlation with the FP tests (p ≤ 0.05). Thus, these field tests should be preferred among the other balance tests. The results of the other tests are questionable since they seemed unable to discriminate the balance performance between young and elderly subjects.

“…No teste de alcance funcional, os pés permanecem paralelos em posição confortável, o ombro é fletido a 90°, o cotovelo fica totalmente estendido e a mão cerrada. Por fim, nos testes de alcance lateral os calcanhares estão afastados 10 cm um do outro, com angulação dos pés de 30°, abdução em 90° do braço do lado avaliado e dedos estendidos -o outro braço deve ser mantido relaxado ao longo do corpo, os joelhos não devem fletir, assim como o tronco, que também não deve realizar rotação 31 ;…”

RESUMOO objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a associação dos polimorfismos genéticos I/D da enzima conversora de angiotensina (ECA) e R/X da proteína alfa-actinina 3 (ACTN3) com capacidade funcional e prevalência de quedas em mulheres no final da idade adulta e início da terceira idade. Foram genotipadas 60 mulheres e com base nestas características genéticas foram divididas em grupos e submetidas a medidas de estatura, massa corporal, testes de força de preensão manual, sentar e levantar, coordenação, alcance funcional e alcance lateral, além de responderem a um questionário sobre o nível de atividade física. Os resultados mostraram que não houve diferença estatística entre os genótipos da ECA e da ACTN3 em nenhuma variável. Porém, em relação aos polimorfismos da ACTN3, a prevalência de quedas no grupo XX foi em termos descritivos consideravelmente maior do que a do grupo RR/RX (42% versus 21% em um ano). Palavras-chave: Idosos. Equilíbrio. Exercício físico. ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to analyze the association of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D and alpha-actinin 3 (ACTN3) R/X genetics polymorphisms with functional capacity and fall prevalence in women in late adulthood and early old age. Sixty women were genotyped and based on these genetic characteristics they were separated in groups and submitted to measurements of height, body mass, handgrip test, chair stand test, coordination test, functional reach test and lateral reach test, besides answering a questionnaire about the level of physical activity. Results showed no statistical difference between ACE and ACTN3 genotypes in all variables. However, regarding ACTN3 polymorphisms, fall prevalence in group XX was bigger than in the RR/RX group (42% versus 21% in a year) using descriptive statistics. Keywords: Elderly people. Balance. Physical exercise. IntroduçãoNos últimos anos estudos que abordam o processo de envelhecimento têm recebido destaque especialmente devido ao crescimento da expectativa de vida da população mundial em ritmo acelerado 1 e à constante preocupação em proporcionar um envelhecimento saudável 2 . Sabe-se que velhice não é sinônimo de doença, porém ela está associada a riscos potenciais para a instalação de incapacidades e da dependência física e cognitiva 2 . Por volta de 60 anos começa a ficar aparente a perda de força muscular relacionada inclusive à atrofia seletiva das fibras musculares do tipo II, trazendo sérias limitações para o cotidiano dos idosos 3-4 .De acordo com Nóbrega et al. 4 , a diminuição da massa óssea, as mudanças na cartilagem articular e em parâmetros biomecânicos também prejudicam a função locomotora e a flexibilidade, dificultando o deslocamento e aumentando o risco de lesões. E todos estes declínios funcionais característicos do envelhecimento contribuem para a maior incidência de
