“…At the end of the intervention, there were no statistically significant changes in ADL, IADL or mobility scores in any group, nor between-group differences. Also, the groups did not differ in the amount of physical activity outside the intervention [21]. …”

Background: Evidence for the effects of exercise and vitamin D supplementation on quality of life (QoL), fear of falling (FoF) and mental wellbeing in older adults is conflicting. Objective: To study the effects of vitamin D supplementation and multimodal group exercise on psychosocial functions of wellbeing, including QoL, mental wellbeing and FoF. Method: This is a 2-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled vitamin D and open exercise intervention trial with 409 older Finnish women (70-80 years of age) randomized to 4 treatment arms: (1) placebo without exercise, (2) vitamin D (800 IU/day) without exercise, (3) placebo and exercise, and (4) vitamin D (800 IU/day) with exercise. Exercisers participated in group exercise twice per week for 12 months and once per week for the subsequent 12 months, plus home exercises. Results: When comparing with the placebo without exercise group, there were no statistically significant differences between groups receiving either vitamin D, exercise or both treatments for changes in QoL or mental wellbeing (although a slight decline was seen in mental wellbeing in those receiving vitamin D only, p = 0.044). The initial slight reduction in FoF was significant in all intervention groups compared with controls (p < 0.05), but this was only temporary. Conclusion: Neither vitamin D nor exercise contributes to better QoL, FoF or mental wellbeing in community-dwelling healthy older women with sufficient vitamin D levels.

“…A previously published article showed that the prevalence of sarcopenia in this study population was low (0.9–2.7%) at baseline . During the intervention, mean total body lean mass and fat mass changed only slightly in both groups . In Finland, mean protein intake of healthy community‐dwelling older women has been found to be sufficient according to recommended levels, so protein intake was not assessed.…”

“…Programas de exercícios físicos para idosos têm apresentado melhoras no incremento e manutenção da força muscular (38) Os relatos de quedas nos últimos seis meses foram maiores (p<0,001) entre os idosos não inseridos nos programas de exercícios (Tabela 3). As quedas e suas consequentes lesões são consideradas um dos problemas médicos mais comuns e graves experimentados pelos idosos (48). E neste sentido, os programas de exercícios para população idosa têm se mostrado eficiente na prevenção de quedas, uma vez que melhora o tempo de reação e os reflexos protetores (48), bem como a força muscular (41) (40).…”

RESUMOO objetivo desta pesquisa foi comparar a capacidade funcional de idosos que frequentam programas públicos de exercícios físicos com um grupo controle. Trata-se de um estudo transversal e analítico, onde foram analisados 108 idosos inseridos em programas públicos de exercícios e 126 não inseridos, do município de Goiânia, GO, Brasil. Foram utilizados um questionário sociodemográfico e de condição de saúde, o Mini-Exame de Estado Mental e a versão curta do International Physical Activity Questionnaire. A capacidade funcional dos idosos foi avaliada utilizando o Índice de Barthel (IB), o Índice de Lawton (IL), a força de preensão manual (FPM), o teste de alcance funcional (TAF), o Timed Up and Go (TUG) e o teste de levantar e sentar (TLS). A caracterização do perfil sociodemográfico foi realizada aplicando o teste Qui-quadrado e a comparação das condições de saúde e capacidade funcional foi realizada com base nos testes de Mann-Whitney e Qui-quadrado. Verificou-se melhor desempenho dos idosos inseridos nos programas de exercícios para a média do IB (p<0,001), do IL (p<0,001), do TAF (p<0,001), do TUG (p<0,001), do TLS (p<0,001) e para a FPM dominante e não dominante feminina (p<0,001). Os idosos vinculados aos programas públicos de exercícios físicos apresentaram melhor capacidade funcional em relação aos não inseridos. A inserção de idosos neste tipo de atividade pode reduzir os custos do sistema público de saúde e também contribuir para se evitar condições incapacitantes.Palavras-chave: Idoso, Exercício, Saúde do idoso. Brazilian Applied Science ReviewBraz. Ap. Sci. Rev.,Curitiba, v. 4, n. 1, p. 303-318 jan./fev. 2020 ABSTRACTThe aim of this research was to compare the functional capacity of the elderly who attend public physical exercise programs with a control group. This is a cross-sectional and analytical study, in which 108 elderly people enrolled in public exercise programs and 126 not enrolled, from the city of Goiânia, GO, Brazil, were analyzed. A sociodemographic and health condition questionnaire, the Mini-Mental State Examination and the short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were used. The functional capacity of the elderly was assessed using the Barthel Index (IB), the Lawton Index (IL), the handgrip strength (FPM), the functional reach test (TAF), the Timed Up and Go (TUG) and the sit-up test (TLS). The characterization of the sociodemographic profile was performed using the Chi-square test and the comparison of health conditions and functional capacity was performed based on the Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests. There was a better performance of the elderly inserted in the exercise programs for the mean of the IB (p <0.001), the IL (p <0.001), the TAF (p <0.001), the TUG (p <0.001), the TLS ( p <0.001) and for female dominant and non-dominant HGS (p <0.001). Elderly people linked to public physical exercise programs had better functional capacity than non-inserted ones. The inclusion of the elderly in this type of activity can reduce the costs of the public health ...

Effects of a Multimodal Exercise Program on Physical Function, Falls, and Injuries in Older Women: A 2‐Year Community‐Based, Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: Twenty-four months of multimodal exercise enhanced physical functioning in women aged 70 to 80 with a history of falls. Although the total number of falls was not lower than in controls, the rate of medically attended injurious falls was more than 50% lower.
