“…Generally speaking, one of the most common ways to prevent falls is improving body balance and mobility. However, various body functions such as memory, hearing, vision, vitality, coordination, and learning ability may deteriorate with aging, and this degeneration can lead to falls [15,51]. Recently, greater relative effects are seen in programs including exercises that challenge balance and using a higher dose of exercise [6].…”

Background: In numerous countries worldwide, fall prevention among older adults is a major public health issue. For older adults, regular participation in moderate physical activity or exercise lowers the risks of falls. However, scant information is available regarding the prevention strategies that the most at-risk groups may undertake. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a fall prevention strategy, eight forms of moving meditation (EFMM), on community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults in Taiwan. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study; 84 participants were recruited from Taipei in Taiwan. For 12 weeks, participants in the experimental group performed 30-min EFMM 3 times per week. The measurements included a Functional Reach Test (FRT), Timed Get-up-and-Go Test (TGUG), and a One-Leg Stance Test (OLST) with eyes both opened and closed. All were conducted at the baseline and 12 weeks after intervention. Results: The participants who performed EFMM showed a significant and positive performance on FRT, TGUG, and OLST with eyes opened and eyes closed compared to those in the control group. Conclusion: The results suggest that EFMM is an effective strategy for enhancing balance and functional mobility and preventing falls among community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults.

“…No significant difference was found with regard to balance, whereas there had been a reduction in physical capacity. 27 In a similar study, no significant difference was found in balance, whereas a significant improvement in physical capacity had occurred (p = 0.001). 9 These studies showed different results from those found in our studies in spite of using the same method of evaluation to assess the balance and the physical ability, perhaps this has occurred because of the sample studied.…”

INTRODUCTION: Ageing has become a huge public health challenge due to the need to find solutions for improving quality of life. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess quality of life, muscle strength, balance and physical capacity among elderly practitioners and non-practitioners of physical activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational, cross-sectional study was carried out involving 74 elderly individuals in the city of Santos (state of São Paulo, Brazil), divided into two groups: practitioners and non-practitioners of physical activity. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used for the classification of the participants. The generic SF-36 questionnaire was used to assess quality of life. The Berg scale was used for the analysis of balance. Dynamometry was used for the muscle strength test. The six-minute walk test was used for the assessment of physical capacity. RESULTS: Significant differences were found between elderly practitioners and non-practitioners of physical activity regarding quality of life (p = 0.001), muscle strength (p = 0.001), balance (p = 0.001) and physical capacity (p = 0.001). The data also showed that aspects of quality of life were strongly correlated with physical capacity among the non-practitioners of physical activity (r = 0.741). CONCLUSION: Elderly individuals in the city of Santos (Brazil) who practice physical activity have better quality of life, muscle strength, physical capacity and balance in comparison to those who do not practice physical activity.

“…Um estudo que descreveu sobre a hipótese citada anteriormente [34] avaliou idosos que eram independentes, ou seja, não praticavam exercícios físicos, porém realizavam suas atividades de vida diária, de forma a responder suas necessidades, sugerindo que praticavam o mínimo de atividade física em seu cotidiano. Os mesmos foram avaliados antes e após um período de três anos pelo TC6M e EEB, obtendo diferenças estatísticas apenas no TC6M, mostrando que esses idosos mantiveram a pontuação inicial na EEB após os três anos.…”

Introdução: Projeções apontam que a população idosa chegará a aproximadamente dois bilhões de pessoas no mundo em 2050. Esse número expressivo intensifica a necessidade de atenção especializada no processo de envelhecimento, que pode acarretar diversos declínios. A atividade física possui a capacidade de desacelerar processos de envelhecimento, melhorando, consequentemente, a percepção da imagem corporal, que é a representação mental do indivíduo sobre sua própria aparência física e que reflete em sua satisfação de vida. Objetivo: Comparar a autopercepção da imagem corporal e o desempenho físico entre idosos que realizam fisioterapia e idosos sedentários, como também a relação da atividade física com a satisfação da autopercepção corporal. Materiais e métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado de fevereiro a maio de 2019, com 28 idosos de idade ≥ 60 anos, sendo 12 do grupo ativo (realizavam atendimento fisioterapêutico a pelo menos 6 meses) e 16 do grupo sedentário (prestes a dar entrada no setor). Para avaliação, utilizou-se o Teste de Caminhada de 6 Minutos (TC6M), Escala de equilíbrio de Berg (EEB), Dinamômetro Manual de Jamar ®, Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) e Silhouette Matching Task (SMT). A metodologia utilizada foi de testes estatísticos que levaram aos seguintes resultados: no TC6M o nível de significância entre os grupos foi de 0,01 e no TUG foi 0,03, na EEB e na dinamometria não foram constatadas diferenças estatísticas, já no SMT os resultados foram de 0,02 no grupo de idosos sedentários. Conclusão: Idosos que realizam fisioterapia demonstram melhor mobilidade, capacidade funcional e autopercepção da imagem corporal.
