Introduction: Physical exercise has been associated with improvement of quality of live (QoL), but its effect among the elderly with depression and Alzheimer's disease (AD) is still unclear. This systematic review evaluated randomized and controlled studies about the effect of physical exercise on QoL of older individuals with a clinical diagnosis of depression and AD. Methods: We searched PubMed, ISI, SciELO and Scopus from December 2011 to June 2013 using the following keywords: physical exercise, quality of life, elderly, depression, Alzheimer's disease. Only six studies met inclusion criteria: two examined patients with AD and four, patients with depression. Results: The studies used different methods to prescribe exercise and evaluate QoL, but all had high quality methods. Findings of most studies with individuals with depression suggested that exercise training improved QoL, but studies with patients with AD had divergent results. Conclusions: Although different methods were used, results suggested that physical exercise is an effective nonpharmacological intervention to improve the QoL of elderly individuals with depression and AD. Future studies should investigate the effect of other factors, such as the use of specific scales for the elderly, controlled exercise prescriptions and type of control groups.

“…Studies that have investigated the effect of aerobic exercise in the treatment of MDD in elderly have used VO 2max relative for the prescription of training intensity 32,33 . It has already been demonstrated that aerobic exercise performed two to three times a week during 30 min, with 60% VO 2max (12 to 14 on the Borg scale) were effective for the additional treatment in MDD 32,33 . Such evidence supports the importance of determining VO 2max to prescribe aerobic training.…”

Background: Evidence has shown benefits for mental health through aerobic training oriented in percentage of VO 2max , indicating the importance of this variable for clinical practice. Objective: To validate a method for estimating VO 2max using a submaximal protocol in elderly patients with clinically diagnosis as major depressive disorder (MDD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: The sample comprised 18 patients (64.22 ± 9.92 years) with MDD (n = 7) and with PD (n = 11). Three evaluations were performed: I) disease staging, II) direct measurement of VO 2max and III) submaximal exercise test. Linear regression was performed to verify the accuracy of estimation in VO 2max established in ergospirometry and the predicted VO 2max from the submaximal test measurement. We also analyzed the correlation between the Bland-Altman procedures. Results: The regression analysis showed that VO 2max values estimated by submaximal protocol associated with the VO 2max measured, both in absolute values (R 2 = 0.65; SEE = 0.26; p < 0.001) and the relative (R 2 = 0.56; SEE = 3.70; p < 0.001). The Bland-Altman plots for analysis of agreement of showed a good correlation between the two measures. Discussion: The VO 2max predicted by submaximal protocol demonstrated satisfactory criterion validity and simple execution compared to ergospirometry.

ResumoDiversos estudos têm investigado o efeito do exercício nos sintomas da depressão e qualidade de vida (QV) em idosos depressivos. Entretanto, os poucos estudos realizados com idosos clinicamente diagnosticados apresentaram resultados controversos devido aos diferentes tipos e intensidades do treinamento físico. O objetivo do presente estudo foi comparar diferentes intervenções com exercícios físicos na QV e nos sintomas depressivos em idosos depressivos. Foram selecionados idosos com depressão maior, divididos em grupo exercício (n=31) e controle (n=21). O grupo exercício foi randomizado em Treinamento Aeróbio (TA) (n=9), Treinamento de Força (n=6) e exercícios generalizados de Baixa Intensidade (BI) (n=16). A diferença entre os momentos e grupos foi analisada pelos testes de Wilcoxon e Mann Whitney, respectivamente. Após três meses de intervenção, somente os grupos aeróbio (p=0,01) e força (p=0,02) reduziram significativamente os sintomas depressivos. Além disso, TA apresentou melhora nos aspectos físicos (p=0,02) e tendência à significância para redução da dor (Z=-1,7; p=0,08), enquanto o TF apresentou tendência à significância estatística na melhora da Capacidade física (p=0,08), e melhora nos aspectos físicos (p=0,05), sociais (p=0,05) e saúde mental (p=0,05). Já o GC apresentou piora no aspecto social (p=0,02) e nenhuma alteração foi vista para o grupo BI. O presente estudo mostrou que tanto o TA quanto o TF com intensidade moderada podem contribuir para a redução dos sintomas de depressão e melhora da qualidade de vida, especialmente dos aspectos físicos. E ainda, que tais alterações podem ser dependentes de aspectos fisiológicos causados pelo exercício, e não somente pelo contato social.

Moreover, TA showed improvement in physical aspect (p=0,02) and trend to significant results to pain (Z=-1,7; p=0,08), while TF showed trend to significant results to physical capacity (p=0,08), physical aspect (p=0,05), social aspect (p=0,05), and mental health (p=0,05 abstRact Several studies have investigated the effect of exercise on depressive symptoms and quality of life in depressive elderly. However, few studies have used elderly people clinically diagnosed and showed controversies results due to the different types and intensities of exercises. The goals of this study were to compare different interventions with physical exercise on quality of lifein and depressive symptoms in depressive elderly. We selected elderly with major depression, divided between exercise group (n=51) and control (n=21). The exercise group was randomized in aerobic training (n=9), strength training (n=6), and generalized exercise of low intensity (n=16). We analyzed the difference between moments and groups through Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney test, respectively. After three months of interven
