ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction The quality of life of middle-aged and elderly women is affected by the physiological effects of aging on the locomotor system; moderate aerobic exercise is one of the practices that can delay these deleterious effects. Square dancing has functional characteristics of aerobic exercise, but there are still no studies on its effects on motor function in middle-aged and elderly women who practice it regularly. Objective Explore the long-duration square dance exercises' effect on motor function in middle-aged and elderly women. Methods 45 middle-aged and elderly women, divided into experimental and control groups, participated. The experimental group (n=25) performed square dancing exercises of 90 minutes four times a week for six months. Indicators of physical function, vital capacities, and motor function indices were collected. Results After exercise, improved grip strength of the middle-aged women in the square dance group and the 1-minute sessions was observed; in particular, the mean value of the selection response reduced from 516.20±83.87 before exercise to 440.28±58.07, a very significant difference. Conclusion Long-term square dance exercise has a particular effect on improving the cardiopulmonary function of middle-aged and elderly women and significantly improved motor function. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies - Investigating the result.


RESUMO Introdução A qualidade de vida das mulheres de meia idade e idosas são afetadas pelos efeitos fisiológicos do envelhecimento no sistema locomotor; o exercício aeróbico moderado é comprovadamente uma das práticas que pode retardar esses efeitos deletérios. A dança de quadrilha tem características funcionais de exercício aeróbico, porém ainda não há estudos sobre seus efeitos sobre a função motora em mulheres de meia-idade e idosas que a praticam regularmente. Objetivo Explorar o efeito dos exercícios de dança de quadrilha de longa duração sobre a função motora nas mulheres de meia-idade e idosas. Métodos 45 mulheres de meia-idade e idosas, divididas em grupo experimental e controle, participaram do experimento. As mulheres do grupo experimental (n=25) realizaram exercícios de dança de quadrilha de 90 minutos, 4 vezes por semana durante 6 meses. Foram coletados indicadores de função física, capacidades vitais e índices de função motora. Resultados Após o exercício, a força de preensão das mulheres de meia-idade no grupo de dança de quadrilha e as sessões de 1 minuto foram significativamente melhoradas, em particular, o valor médio da resposta de seleção foi reduzido de 516,20±83,87 antes do exercício para 440,28±58,07, houve uma diferença muito significativa. Conclusão O exercício de dança de quadrilha de longo prazo tem um certo efeito na melhoria da função cardiopulmonar de mulheres de meia-idade e idosas, sua função motora foi significativamente melhorada. Nível de evidência II; Estudos Terapêuticos - Investigação de Resultados.


RESUMEN Introducción La calidad de vida de las mujeres de mediana y avanzada edad se ve afectada por los efectos fisiológicos del envejecimiento sobre el aparato locomotor; el ejercicio aeróbico moderado es una de las prácticas que pueden retrasar estos efectos deletéreos. El baile de cuadrilla tiene características funcionales de ejercicio aeróbico, sin embargo, aún no hay estudios sobre sus efectos en la función motora en mujeres de mediana edad y ancianas que lo practican regularmente. Objetivo Explorar el efecto de los ejercicios de baile de cuadrilla de larga duración sobre la función motora en mujeres de mediana y avanzada edad. Métodos 45 mujeres de mediana y avanzada edad, divididas en grupos experimental y de control, participaron en el experimento. Las mujeres del grupo experimental (n=25) realizaron ejercicios de baile de cuadrilla de 90 minutos, 4 veces por semana durante 6 meses. Se recogieron indicadores de función física, capacidades vitales e índices de función motora. Resultados Después del ejercicio, la fuerza de agarre de las mujeres de mediana edad del grupo de baile de cuadrilla y de las sesiones de 1 minuto mejoró significativamente, en particular, el valor medio de la respuesta de selección se redujo de 516,20±83,87 antes del ejercicio a 440,28±58,07, lo que supuso una diferencia muy significativa. Conclusión El ejercicio del baile de cuadrilla a largo plazo tiene un cierto efecto en la mejora de la función cardiopulmonar de las mujeres de mediana edad y de las ancianas, y su función motora mejoró significativamente. Nivel de evidencia II; Estudios terapéuticos - Investigación de resultados.

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the differences in the static balance ability of elderly women performing Tai Chi, square dance, and fitness walking as long-term exercises. Methods A total of 128 healthy elderly women were selected as the subjects. The subjects were classified into the Tai Chi, square dance, fitness walking, and control groups based on their daily main fitness items. The average swing speed (avg.v) of the subjects, swing angle, outer area (area), and total length of the swing (TL) were measured by a balance tester during double-feet standing with eyes closed and right-foot standing with eyes opened, and the test time was 10 s. Results There were significant differences in the values of each balance index of the Tai Chi, square dance, fitness walking, and control groups during double-feet standing with eyes closed and right-foot standing with eyes opened(P<0.05). There were significant differences in the avg.v, TL, and area index values of the Tai Chi and square dance groups (P<0.05) in case of right-foot standing with eyes opened. In both the states,the four balance indices of the Tai Chi group were significantly smaller than those of the fitness walking group (P<0.05).There were significant differences in the area, TL, and avg.v index values of the square dance and fitness walking groups (P<0.05) for the right-foot standing with eyes opened. Conclusions The static balance abilities of elderly women performing Tai Chi, square dance, and fitness walking over a long term were better than those in the absence of regular exercises. The elderly women associated with long-term Tai Chi exercises exhibited a better static balance ability than those performing square dance and fitness walking exercises, and elderly women associated with long-term square dance exercises showed a better static balance ability than those with fitness walking exercises.

ABSTRACT

Nos festejos juninos de Campina Grande, PB, conhecidos como "O maior São João do mundo", as quadrilhas juninas são consideradas um grande ícone da festa. A partir de uma pesquisa realizada com dançarinos de quadrilha dessa cidade, nos ocuparemos, neste artigo, das representações sociais que são construídas sobre essa atividade. Foram realizadas, além da observação participante, vinte entrevistas semiestruturadas com dançarinos de ambos os sexos, das quadrilhas Arraial da Felicidade e Mistura Gostosa. A análise dos dados, operada pelo método hermenêutico-dialético, evidenciou que os dançarinos de quadrilhas juninas constroem diferentes representações sobre essa atividade: divertimento, lazer, prazer, responsabilidade e trabalho. Por fim, observou-se que os entrevistados constroem um discurso que enfatiza os efeitos positivos dessa atividade, o reconhecimento social, o entrosamento coletivo e a realização pessoal.

A research carried out among the June square dance groups in this city is the subject of this article, the social representations constructed around this activity. Besides the participating observations, twenty semi-structured interviews were carried out among dancers of both sexes, members of the groups "Arraial da Felicidade", and "Mistura Gostosa". The data analysis was performed using the hermeneutical-dialectical method and the result shows that June square dance revelers construct different representations about this activity: entertainment, leisure, pleasure, responsibility and professional work. It was concluded that the subjects interviewed make up a discourse that stresses the positive effects of this activity, such as social recognition, collective understanding and personal fulfillment.
