Abstract:13), Barthel Index (>13) and Lysholm Scoring Scale (>84). Seventeen 67 ± 9 year-old elderly women from a nursing home were divided into 2 groups at random: the control group (CG, N = 9) participated in enjoyable cultural activities; the stretching group (SG, N = 8) performed active stretching of hamstrings, 4 bouts of 1 min each. Both groups were supervised three times per week over a period of 8 weeks. Peak torque was assessed by an isokinetic method. Both groups were evaluated by a photogrammetric method to … Show more
“…Then, 1 set of 3 maximal continuous voluntary flexion-extension were performed and considered for analysis. This process was done to evaluate knee concentric and eccentric strength, at 60°/s and 180°/s, with 2 minutes of rest among the tests 23,26,27 , and 60º of range of motion (ROM) 26 . Participants received verbal encouragement in order to reach the maximal strength through the full available ROM at every trial 26,27 .…”

-Aims: the purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a supervised dance intervention based on video game choreography on isokinetic concentric and eccentric knee peak of torque (PT), quadriceps and hamstrings cross sectional area (CSA) and functionality in community-dwelling older women. Methods: Forty-seven older women were allocated in Control Group (CG, n=25) and Intervention Group (IG, n=22). The IG performed dance based on video game choreography (Dance Central, XBOX 360®, Kinect), during 12 weeks, ~40 minutes, 3x/week, without foam (1-6week) and with foam and visual disturbances (7-12 week). The pretest-training-posttest assessments included: isokinetic concentric and eccentric knee PT and CSA (Magnetic resonance imaging) of quadriceps and hamstrings and functional tests. Results: The light-to-moderate-intensity 12-weeks training increased 8.5% the eccentric PT of quadriceps at 60°/s (p=0.04) and 1.3% quadriceps CSA (p=0.02). Conclusions: These findings suggest that dance training based on video game choreography can enhance PT and induce hypertrophy in community-dwelling older women.

“…La flexibilidad promedio entre los participantes del presente estudio mejoró significativamente con cuatro semanas y se sostuvo a las ocho semanas, lo que sugiere que el PECE fue efectivo en provocar cambios en flexibilidad. Esto es especialmente relevante dado que la falta de flexibilidad de espalda baja y músculos isquiotibiales está asociada con problemas de dolor crónico en el área, aumento en el riesgo de caídas y fracturas y reducción en la capacidad de realizar tareas diarias entre adultos mayores (Cedric & James, 1999;Gallon et al, 2011;Lan et al, 1998). También se ha sugerido que una buena flexibilidad mejora el desarrollo de velocidad, balance dinámico y resistencia muscular (Stanziano, Roos, Perry, Lai, & Signorile, 2009;Thompson, 1991), todos necesarios para una buena movilidad.…”

“…Esta observación sustenta lo reportado en algunos estudios previos (Ready et al, 1996;Wagner, La Croix, Buchner, & Larson, 1992), pero contradice lo reportado por otros (Fahlman, Boardley, Lambert, & Flynn, 2002;Gallon et al, 2011;Isler, Kosar, & Korkusuz, 2001;Kostka, Lacour, Berthouze, & Bonnefoy, 1999) en donde los niveles de HDL aumentaron como resultado de una intervención con ejercicio en adultos mayores. Es posible que los programas de ejercicio para esta población requieran mayor duración y mayor nivel de intensidad para alcanzar cambios significativos en estos parámetros.…”

Programa de ejercicio estructurado es viable y mejora la capacidad funcional en adultos mayores en Puerto Rico. PENSAR EN MOVIMIENTO: Revista de Ciencias del Ejercicio y la Salud, 12 (2), 1-15. La inactividad física es un factor de riesgo principal que afecta la salud y capacidad funcional en adultos mayores. En este estudio se evaluó la capacidad funcional en 22 adultos mayores en Puerto Rico (edad promedio ± desviación estándar = 73,3 ± 8,2 años) antes, durante y después de ocho semanas de participar en un programa de ejercicios estructurados. La capacidad funcional se evaluó mediante una batería de pruebas de campo (composición corporal, flexibilidad, coordinación, agilidad y balance, tolerancia muscular y tolerancia cardiorrespiratoria) validadas para esta población. Además, en una sub-muestra (n = 7) se midió la aptitud cardiorrespiratoria (VO2max) y los niveles de lípidos en sangre. Se utilizó una ANOVA con medidas repetidas para detectar cambios en la capacidad funcional antes, durante y después del programa. Con una tpareada se evaluaron cambios en VO2max y lípidos antes y después del programa. La flexibilidad mejoró significativamente durante el programa (51,6 ± 12,2 vs. 57,7 ± 8,1 cm,
“…(13) Estudos têm demonstrado que exercí-cios de alongamento podem proporcionar aumento na amplitude articular. (14) Os alongamentos devem ser realizados durante o aquecimento e ao final da sessão. A melhoria da amplitude articular aumenta o desempenho muscular, reduz o risco de lesão e melhora a nutrição da cartilagem.…”

ResumoObjetivo: Apresentar quais são os principais recursos terapêuticos aplicados na reabilitação do idoso de acordo com suas patologias mais comuns. Metodologia: Foram selecionados artigos científicos nas bases de pesquisa Pubmed, Medline, Bireme, e Scielo, seguindo indicadores específicos. Resultados: Foram selecionados 17 artigos científicos em língua portuguesa e inglesa. Para alicerçar o estudo foram inclusos 3 livros na referência. Principais achados: O acidente vascular encefálico (AVE), a doença de Parkinson e a esclerose múltipla são os principais transtornos neurológicos que acometem os idosos. Os transtornos ortopédicos comuns em idosos são a artrite reumatoide e a osteoartrite. A participação dos idosos em atividades físicas regulares minimiza o declínio funcional. Cinesioterapia e hidrocinesioterapia resultam em melhoria funcional articular. Alongamentos musculares são recomendados para idosos para aumentar a flexibilidade. A Eletrotermofototerapia pode ser útil no tratamento de patologias do aparelho locomotor de idosos. Conclusão: Os casos patológicos comuns em idosos são AVE, doença de Parkinson, esclerose múltipla, artrite reumatoide, e osteoartrites. As formas mais frequentes de intervenção fisioterapêutica podem ocorrer com a realização de cinesioterapia, alongamentos musculares, hidrocinesioterapia, e recursos de eletrotermofototerapia.
