Abstract: O objetivo do estudo foi verificar se a sonolência diurna excessiva (SDE) afeta a capacidade funcional (CF) e força muscular respiratória entre idosas hipertensas. O estudo avaliou 32 idosas hipertensas, divididas em dois grupos (com SDE, n=17, 64,9±5,3 anos; e sem SDE, n=15, 65,9±5,5 anos), quanto a: força muscular respiratória, por manovacuometria; CF, pelo Questionário para avaliação de limitação das atividades e por testes de aptidão funcional; nível de atividade física, pelo questionário internacional de … Show more

“…However, these results were similar to or slightly lower than the results from other studies involving elderly patients with AH 27,28 , which suggests that AH is a chronic condition that can be associated with decreased motor capacity and physical fitness. Second, it is also interesting that the exercise protocol was effective in quantitatively improving the performance of muscle strength, balance, and aerobic capacity tests, as well as increasing the frequency of participants who achieved the range of reference values for muscle strength and aerobic capacity 20 .…”

“…The SGT also showed a positive correlation with other tests for the same estimate 28 . Other studies have found significant improvements in aerobic capacity with exercise in elderly participants with AH 15,23 , which may result from several factors including improvement in cardiac output, increased peripheral blood flow and/or improvement in musculoskeletal metabolism 7 .…”
