Resumo
As projeções estatísticas demonstram que o aumento da população idosa no Brasil passará de 7,3%para cerca de 15% em 2025. Baseadanesses dados,há uma preocupação voltada para esse segmento em todas as áreas doconhecimento. O envelhecimento é um processo complexo e irreversível, no qual o idoso fica cada vez mais dependente, perdendo sua autonomia. A literatura recente tem enfatizado que não podemos subestimar a velhice. É importante, portanto,conhecer a realidade, o estilo de vidae a cultura das pessoas nessa fase do ciclo de vida. Partindo dessesaspectos, a pesquisa tem como objetivo geral analisar a contribuição do programa Raízes da Vida do Instituto Federal de Educação Ciência e Tecnologia do Ceará (IFCE), da cidade de Fortaleza, e sua relevância como instrumento de resgate da autonomia do idoso. Metodologicamente, a pesquisaconstitui-se como descritiva e exploratória, cujo compromisso é buscar respostas com base em conhecimento científico. O trabalho em questão classifica-se como bibliográfico e de campo. Para efeito de nossa análise, selecionamos apenas os idosos participantes das atividades de ginástica e musculação, compreendendo um universo total de 128 sujeitos. Da turma de ginástica, foram inquiridos 120 idosos, correspondentesa 50%; da turma de musculação, foram entrevistados 8 idosos, correspondentesa 13,3%. Os sujeitos são de ambos os sexosecompreendem umafaixa etária de 60 a 89 anos. O levantamento dos dados foi realizadode forma qualitativa e quantitativa através de questionário e entrevistas aplicadosno período de maio a outubro de 2012. Oestudo caracteriza o Programa Raízes da Vida, realizado pelo Instituto Federal de Ciência e Educação Tecnológica do Ceará (IFCE) da cidade de Fortaleza, como um trabalho de grande relevância social e que assume um compromisso ético e comunitário com os idosos do seu entorno, destacando a importância da educação que se constitui como instrumento de mudança e de melhoria nas relações sociais,em busca do resgate da autonomia. Mediante a participação em programas de atividades física, os participantes procuram, através dessa nova maneira de viver, quebraros paradigmas da sociedade contemporânea. Merece destaque a importância do trabalho de extensão voltado para o idoso participante de programas sociais, o qual tem maior oportunidade de manter sua autonomia e administrar a vida de acordo com seus próprios valores, contribuindo de maneira essencial para o seu bem-estar.
