“…In the study by Vilaça et al 28 , muscular strength and walking tests were undertaken by a sample of 77 female volunteers aged between 65 and 80 years, who were recruited in community integration programs in the city of Ribeirão Preto in the state of São Paulo. The elderly female participants were divided into three groups, where group A corresponded to the elderly female participants that walked, on average, 369.7±57.6m (240-428m), group B corresponded to participants that walked, on average, 450.2±12.3m (433-470m), and group C corresponded to participants that walked, on average, 524±44.5 (478-643m) in the Walk for 6 minutes test.…”

Objective: to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and functional fitness levels linked to the Elderly in Movement Program of the city of Curitiba, in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Methods: The study is characterized as correlational and crosssectional. The sample consisted of 1,806 elderly female participants of the Elderly in Movement Program. The short version of the IPAQ was used to evaluate participation in physical activities; body weight (kg) and height (m) were measured to calculate BMI (kg/m²), while the motor tests proposed in the Senior Fitness Test were used to evaluate the functional fitness of the elderly women. Descriptive statistics, the chi-squared test and binary logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results: The results showed that 24.0% of the sample exhibited eutrophic nutritional status, 42.9% were overweight and 33.1% were obese. The elderly women classified as overweight and obese had lower functional fitness scores, based on the rating of Rikli and Jones, while the elderly women classified as eutrophic exhibited levels within the normal range. Obese elderly women were more likely to have low scores in the following functional fitness tests: Walk for 6 minutes, Chair Stand, Chair Sit and Reach, Back Scratch and 8-Foot Up and Go. Conclusion: The study indicated an association between, BMI and functional fitness in the elderly women participating in the program, where the majority of elderly women classified as obese exhibited low fitness in all tests.

Cada uma Tem mil faces secretas sobre a face neutra E te pergunta, sem interesse pela resposta, Pobre ou terrível, que lhe deres: Trouxeste a chave? Drummond O livro faz parte da publicação de três volumes reuni trabalhos e pesquisas realizadas por acadêmicos de universidades realizadas na diversas Regiões do Brasil. O rigor metodológico e científico presentes na elaboração do livro revela a seriedade e a profundidade com que os temas foram tratados, por isso, trata-se de uma leitura necessária e obrigatória para quem pretende fazer ciência no Brasil. Faço deslizar lentamente os meus olhos pela linha de palavras que compõem o tema deste livro, sendo o meu primeiro desafio: qual face dessas palavras, entre as mil que possam ter, escolherei para tecer o fio que me permitirá entrar e sair do labirinto deste texto, de saída, que o discurso daquele que analisa não pode ter a aspiração de ser o avesso de discursos outros (do filósofo, do educador, da histeria, do mestre na intenção de passar-lhes a purificado. Gostaria de me deixar levar pelos pensamentos que me arrebatam no processo que ora início de me haver com a provocativa questão: afinal, qual a importância dos conhecimentos produzidos por nós mesmos na área das chamadas Ciências Humanas? Contudo, sinto-o agora, o começo de qualquer discurso, como reconheceu Foucault, é angustiante. Ele, que tratou com seriedade e rigor o tema, sentiu o forte o peso que lhe conferia a linguagem em sua aula inaugural no Collège de France. Em sua fragilidade humana confessou: Ao invés de tomar a palavra, gostaria de ser envolvido por ela e levado bem além de todo o começo possível.(...) (p.5) Escrever é como falar, uma captação de palavras; encontrar aquelas apropriadas para dar forma ao pensamento promove a obstinação de um arqueólogo. Percebo que a língua é uma matéria prima indócil. Em primeiro lugar, porque quem escreve luta com palavras, como escreveu Drummond (O lutador). Em segundo, porque força o autor no confronto com a própria solidão, com a lacuna de "algo que pudesse ter estado sempre aí" e pudesse, simplesmente, deixar-se (con) fundir. Isso me faz refletir sobre a produção de conhecimento, quase sempre nos referimos à construção de saberes apontados sob a forma escrita. Nos meios acadêmicos essa é, ao mesmo tempo, uma exigência das agências de fomento e uma forma de controle institucional de produção. Somos impelidos a escrever e a estar cada vez mais em solidão. O risco que corremos: terminarmos por nos afastar do mundo e dos papéis que, nas ruas, nas esquinas, em nossas casas e classes tornam a vida um movimento coletivo d...

“…A high BMI is associated with limited physical performance and functional mobility in elderly persons or patients with OA (8)(9)(10)(11), and a high preoperative BMI is associated with post-TKR physical disability in obese patients with OA (12). However, the relationship between obesity and post-TKR outcome has not been fully elucidated.…”

ObjectiveObesity is associated with an increased risk of osteoarthritis, and the incidence of obese patients requiring a total knee replacement (TKR) has increased in recent years. A high body mass index (BMI) may influence post‐TKR rehabilitation outcomes. We investigated the effects of obesity on functional mobility outcomes following post‐TKR rehabilitation in Asian patients whose BMIs were not as high as those reported in similar studies performed in non‐Asian countries.MethodsA total of 113 patients were categorized as normal weight (n = 23), overweight (n = 32), class I obese (n = 31), or class II/III obese (n = 27). Patients were retrospectively followed up for 6 months after undergoing TKR followed by 2 months of active rehabilitation. Outcome measures were recorded at baseline and at the 2‐month and 6‐month followup assessments and included the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index and the following tests: functional reach, single‐leg stance, ten‐meter walk, timed up and go, chair rise, and stair climbing.ResultsA 4 × 3 (group × time) repeated‐measures analysis of variance showed significant improvement in all of the outcome measures for all of the BMI groups at the 2‐month and 6‐month followup assessments (P < 0.05 for all). No significant intergroup differences at the 2‐month and 6‐month followup assessments were observed for any of the mobility measures except the functional reach and single‐leg stance (P < 0.05).ConclusionPatients with class II/III obesity benefit from early post‐TKR outpatient rehabilitation and respond as well as patients with lower BMIs.
