Resumo
Objetivo. O primeiro estudo teve como objetivo reunir a informação existente, sobre a associação entre um Programa de Aconselhamento de Atividade Física, aplicado a um grupo de idosos, e a Condição física e a Qualidade de vida. No segundo estudo, pretendeu-se analisar o Efeito de um Programa de Aconselhamento de Atividade Física, com a duração de 12 semanas, sobre a Aptidão Cardio-respiratória, a Força Inferior, e a Qualidade de Vida, aplicado a um grupo de idosas ativas.
Método. Numa primeira fase foi elaborada uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura com base em estudos experimentais e transversais e, numa segunda fase foi realizado um estudo longitudinal no qual participaram 20 mulheres idosas ativas entre os 65 e os 89 anos de idade(M=72.55±7.5). Para todas as provas estatísticas foi utilizado o programa EZAnalyZe, versão 3.0. Este programa foi usada para testar a hipótese de que o Aconselhamento em Atividade Física melhora a Aptidão cardio-espiratória, a Força Inferior, e a Qualidade de vida, de um grupo de idosas ativas.
Resultados. Na revisão sistemática foram encontrados 7 estudos, 5 são RCT e apresentam amostras randomizadas nos grupos de intervenção e de controlo, 1 é um estudo clínico não controlado e o outro é um estudo observacional transversal. Todos os estudos reportaram associações positivas entre um Programa de Aconselhamento de Atividade Física e a Qualidade de Vida em idosas. Apenas um estudo reportava uma associação positiva entre um Programa de Aconselhamento de Atividade Física e a Condição Física. No nosso estudo, houve um aumento significativo(p <0.05) relativamente à Aptidão Cardio-respiratória e à Qualidade de Vida, no entanto, a Força Inferior não se alterou significativamente (p>0.05).
Conclusão. Existe uma associação positiva entre Programas de Aconselhamento de Atividade Física para idosas ativas e a Aptidão Cardio-respiratória e a Qualidade de Vida.
Objectives. The first study aimed to gather the existing information about the association between a Counseling Program of Physical Activity, applied to a group of elderly individuals, and the Physical Condition and Quality of Life. In the second study we sought to examine the effect of a Counseling Program of Physical Activity, lasting 12 weeks, on the cardio-respiratory fitness, lower limbs strength and quality of life in a group of active elderly individuals. Methods. In an initial phase we proceed to a systematic review of the existing literature having as base experimental and cross-sectional studies. In a second phase we carried out a longitudinal study involving 20 elderly active women between the age of 65 and 89 years (M = 72.55 ± 7.5). For all statistical tests was used EZAnalyZe program, version 3.0.. This program was used to test the hypothesis that physical activity counseling improves the cardio-respiratory fitness, the lower limbs strength and the quality of life of active elderly individuals. Results. In the systematic review we found 7 studies, 5 of which were RCT presenting in their samples randomized intervention and control groups. One of the studies was a noncontrolled clinical study and the other a cross-sectional observational study. All of this studies reported positive associations between a Counseling Program for Physical Activity and the quality of life in elderly women. Only one study reported a positive association between a Counseling Program for Physical Activity and the physical condition. In our study, there was a significant increase (p<0.05) on the cardiopulmonary fitness and in the quality of life, however, the lower limbs strength did not change significantly (p> 0.05). Conclusion. There is a positive association between Physical Activity Counseling Programs for active elderly individuals and cardio-pulmonary fitness and quality of life
