Efeito de diferentes volumes de alongamento na capacidade funcional de idosas

Abstract

Abstract-The study aimed to analyze the effect of two different durations of stretching exercises, 90 or 180 seconds, on the functional capacity (FC) of elderly women. Fortythree older women were assigned into three groups: inactive Control Group (CG, n. = 14), Training Group with three sets of 30 seconds (TG90, n. = 15) and Training Group with three sets of 60 seconds (TG180, n = 14). The TG90 and TG180 groups attended the university for 16 weeks, three times a week. The training protocol consisted of seven different static stretching exercises, performed in an active way. The CG attended the university only in periods of evaluations. Evaluations of the FC components and the Global Functional Fitness Index (GFFI), from the three groups, were both conducted before, and after 8 and 16 weeks of experiment, using a motor tests battery. The two-way ANOVA showed significant group x time interaction for the components flexibility, muscle strength and aerobic endurance, and for the GFFI values (p <0.05). The Scheffé post hoc test pointed difference between the two training groups and the CG, with no difference between TF90 and TG180. There was also improvement in the general classification of GFFI for the TG90 and TG180, which went from "fair" to "good", while CG remained classified as "fair. " It was concluded that the two durations of stretching exercises were equally effective in improving flexibility, muscle strength, aerobic endurance and levels of FC in elderly women. Key words: Aging; Range of joint motion; Physical fitness.

Effects of active static stretching in a patient with COPD after complication by COVID-19, case report

“…In the present study, despite only 1 (one) exsmoker participant, the physical conditions were more debilitating, a situation aggravated by COVID-19 with severe COPD, the same, after a week of stretching, obtained significant improvements in saturation, stopping using Oxi and going back to performing their previously impossible home activities, showing that stretching brings positive benefits, but what would be interesting would be a greater number of participants. Unlike the studies mentioned above with respiratory physiotherapy, Lottermann et al (2017) (15) , carried out a systematic review that, within their inclusion and exclusion criteria, raised 13 articles.…”

“…In summary, Donrawee et al (2009) (19) and Lottermann et al (2017) (15) state that the practice of any physical exercise can benefit people with COPD, reducing symptoms and improving the quality of life of patients with the disease.…”

“…Gallo et al 2012 (15) reported in their study, positive benefits with the protocol of time of 3 series of stretching per follow-up, with a duration of 30 seconds of execution for 30 seconds of pause, positive a significant improvement in the locomotor system, showing improvement of the flexibility, strength, and increase of conditioning. In addition to such muscle benefits, stretching shows positive responses in the circulatory system (16) .…”

“…The planning of the program and protocol was carried out according to their physical conditions, which were too weak for the application of other types of activities, such as walking and other strength exercises. Therefore, five active static stretching exercises were applied to the main joints most used in daily life, such as shoulders, hips, and knees (which reflect on the ankles), with a conventional protocol of 3 sets of 30 seconds of tension per follow-up, with 30 seconds of pause, justified protocol model (15) .…”
