ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of flexibility training on the maximum range of motion levels and reach capacity of older women practitioners of aquatic exercises of the Prev-Quedas project. Participants were divided into two groups: intervention (IG, n = 25), which were submitted to flexibility training program and control (CG, n = 21), in which older women participated only in aquatic exercises. Flexibility training lasted three months with weekly frequency of two days, consisting of stretching exercises involving trunk and lower limbs performed after aquatic exercises. The stretching method used was passive static. Assessment consisted of the functional reach, lateral and goniometric tests. Statistical analysis was performed using the following tests: Shapiro-Wilk normality, ANCOVA, Pearson and Spearman correlations. Significant results for GI in gains of maximum range of motion for the right hip joint (p = 0.0025), however, the same result was not observed in other joints assessed, and there was no improvement in functional and lateral reach capacity for both groups. Significant correlations between reach capacity and range of motion in the trunk, hip and ankle were not observed. Therefore, flexibility training associated with the practice of aquatic exercises promoted increased maximum range of motion only for the hip joint; however, improvement in the reach capacity was not observed. The practice of aquatic exercises alone did not show significant results.


Resumo O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a influência de um treinamento de flexibilidade nos níveis de amplitude articular máxima e capacidade de alcance em idosas praticantes de hidroginástica participantes do projeto Prev-Quedas. As idosas foram alocadas em dois grupos: Intervenção (GI, n=25), no qual foram submetidas a um programa de treinamento de flexibilidade; e Controle (GC, n=21), no qual as idosas participavam, apenas, das aulas de hidroginástica. O treinamento de flexibilidade teve a duração de três meses e frequência semanal de dois dias, composto por exercícios de alongamento envolvendo tronco e membros inferiores, realizados após as aulas de hidroginástica. O método de alongamento utilizado foi o estático passivo. A aferição foi constituída pelos testes de alcance funcional, lateral e goniométrico. A análise estatística foi feita através dos seguintes testes: normalidade de Shapiro-Wilk, ANCOVA, correlação de Pearson e de Spearman. Foram encontrados resultados significativos para o GI no ganho de amplitude articular máxima na articulação do quadril direito (p=0,0025), porém, o mesmo não foi visto nas demais articulações aferidas, assim como também, não houve melhora na capacidade de alcance funcional e lateral para ambos os grupos. Também não foram vistas correlações significativas entre a capacidade de alcance e amplitude articular no tronco, quadril e tornozelo. Portanto, o treinamento de flexibilidade associado à prática da hidroginástica, promoveu aumento da amplitude articular máxima somente na articulação do quadril, contudo, não foi visto melhora na capacidade de alcance. A prática, somente da hidroginástica, apresentou resultados não significativos.

ABSTRACT

Object: Losses in functional capacity of upper limbs of elders confined to bed may be due to the fracture of the femur. Aims: To perform a systematic review of the literature regarding the Stasis Syndrome; to elaborate, according to a previous analysis, an intervention proposal involving multidisciplinary care, to alleviate the effects of the Stasis Syndrome; to verify the effect of this multidisciplinary protocol of intervention according to the biological variables of elders with Stasis Syndrome through the use of an instrument created for this purpose. Method: This is controlled clinical research, with a quantitative approach. It involves the use of quantification during and treatment of patients and the associated data collection, through statistical techniques and the use of specific software...
