“…According to an updated meta-analysis with 19,478 participants, the greater effects were seen from exercise protocols that challenged balance and involved more than 3 hours/week of exercise. [43][44][45] Thus, a possible explanation for the present results could be the South American women's engagement in physical activities impacting the musculoskeletal development and the consequent balance improvements. Another possible explanation for the present findings is the possible higher rate of falls and frailty in North American older adults (15 %) compared to South American older adults (9 %).…”

This study aimed to characterize the risk of falling in low, moderate and high risk participants from two different geographical locations using a portable force-plate. A sample of 390 older adults from South and North America were matched for age, sex, height and weight. All participants performed a standardized balance assessment using a force plate. Participants were classified in low, moderate and high risk of falling. No differences were observed between South and North American men, nor comparing North American men and women. South American women showed the significantly shorter center of pressure path length compared to other groups. The majority of the sample was categorized as having low risk of falling (male: 65.69 % and female: 61.87 %), with no differences between men and women. Also, no differences were found between North vs. South Americans, nor for falls risk levels when male and female groups were compared separately. In conclusion, South American women had better balance compatible with the status of the 50-59 years’ normative age-range. The prevalence of low falls risk was ~ 61-65 % and the prevalence of moderate to high risk was ~ 16-19 %. The frequency of fall risk did not differ significantly between North and South Americans, nor between males and females.

“…O fortalecimento muscular é fundamental para os idosos, considerando que são constantemente afetados pela perda progressiva de massa muscular, a sarcopenia 22 . Além de aumentar a força muscular, o método Pilates aplicado a idosos melhora o equilíbrio estático e dinâmico e isso diminui a ocorrência de quedas entre esta população 23,24 .…”

Introdução: Ainda são escassos estudos que avaliem a efetividade do método Pilates no solo, principalmente na população idosa. Objetivo: Avaliar a influência de um programa interventivo com o método Pilates no solo, no desempenho motor, funcional e cognitivo de idosos. Casuística e Métodos: Estudo quase-experimental, realizado com 10 idosos. No momento pré e pós o programa de intervenção, foi utilizado para avaliação o teste índex-chão, Mini Exame do estado Mental (MEEM), o Protocolo de Avaliação da Autonomia Funcional do grupo de Desenvolvimento Latino Americano para Maturidade (GDLAM), e o teste força de preensão manual. Os idosos participaram durante três meses, duas vezes por semana, de um programa de exercícios do método Pilates, no solo. Os dados foram analisados por meio do teste t pareado, considerando significância quando p< 0,05. Resultados: Os idosos avaliados obtiveram melhoras significantes (p< 0,05) nos testes de caminhar 10 metros, teste de levantar da cadeira e locomover-se pela casa, e teste de vestir e tirar camiseta, que fazem parte do protocolo GDLAM. Conclusão: A intervenção com o método Pilates impactou positivamente na capacidade funcional dos idosos.

“…This finding seems reasonable as balance training adaptations are considered highly task specific, and mere static balance tasks are not well targeted and reflected in MBI approaches [53]. In contrast to that, a previous meta-analysis showed that MBIs with a main focus on Pilates can reveal positive effects on static balance in older subjects, when balance is incorporated, and seniors have less initial balance performance [54]. Two further meta-analyses revealed positive effects on static balance performance following Tai Chi interventions [43, 55], which comprise a variety of different static balance conditions.…”

Effects of Movement-Based Mind-Body Interventions on Physical Fitness in Healthy Older Adults: A Meta-Analytical Review

Introduction: Declines in physical fitness can notably affect healthy aging of older adults. Multimodal exercise training regimen such as mind-body interventions (MBIs) has been reported to mitigate these aging-related declines of physical function. This meta-analytical review aimed at pooling the effects of MBIs on physical fitness indices compared to active control (AC) and inactive control (IC) conditions in healthy older adults. Methods: The literature search was conducted in 3 databases using search terms with Boolean conjunctions. Randomized controlled trials applying MBIs focusing on improving physical fitness parameters in healthy seniors over 65 years of age were screened for eligibility. Eligibility and study quality were assessed by 2 researchers using the PEDro scale. Standardized mean differences (SMD) adjusted for small sample sizes (Hedges’ g) served as main outcomes for the comparisons of MBIs versus IC and MBIs versus AC. Results: Thirty trials with 2,792 healthy community dwellers (mean age: 71.2 ± 4.7 years) were included. Large overall effects were found for strength (p < 0.001, SMD: 0.87 [90% CI: 0.43, 1.30], I2 = 94%), medium effects were observed for functional mobility (p = 0.009, SMD: 0.55 [90% CI: 0.20, 0.89], I2 = 83%), and small overall effects were found for static balance (p = 0.02, SMD: 0.35 [90% CI: 0.10, 0.60], I2 = 77%), endurance (p = 0.0001, SMD: 0.44 [90% CI: 0.25, 0.62], I2 = 0%), and flexibility (p = 0.003, SMD: 0.46 [90% CI: 0.21, 0.72], I2 = 54%) in favor of MBIs compared to IC. Small effects of strength slightly favoring AC (p = 0.08, SMD: −0.22 [90% CI: −0.43, −0.01], I2 = 52%) were found, whereas static balance moderately improved in favor of MBIs (p < 0.001, SMD: 0.46 [90% CI: 0.16, 0.76], I2 = 73%). Discussion/Conclusion: MBIs induce small to moderate effects in relevant domains of physical fitness in healthy older adults. Strength should be better targeted with traditional resistance training routines, whereas balance seems to sufficiently benefit from MBIs. However, large variability between the studies was observed due to differences in methodology, intervention content, and outcomes that affect conclusive evidence.
