ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Verificar os efeitos da atividade física na força muscular respiratória, função motora, sintomas depressivos, qualidade de vida e imagem corporal em idosos do projeto de extensão Vida Ativa/UNATI. Métodos: Sete indivíduos, ambos os sexos, com idade média de 68,14 ± 4,38 foram submetidos a avaliações e reavaliações de força muscular respiratória (PiMáx e PeMáx), função motora (FPP-D/E, TUG, SPPB, EEB), sintomas depressivos (GDS-15), qualidade de vida (SF-36) e imagem corporal (IPCg) após 10 intervenções com atividades físicas, duas vezes na semana, por uma hora. Resultados: Houve aumento significativo em SPPB (p = 0,01); aumento não significativo da média dos valores de PiMáx (p = 0,07) e diminuição de PeMáx (p = 0,65); manutenção em FPP-D/E (p = 1); diminuição em TUG (p = 0,48); aumento EEB (p = 0,08); diminuição em GDS-15 (p = 0,36); em SF-36, obteve-se aumento em alguns domínios, como Capacidade Funcional (p = 0,79), Estado Geral de Saúde (p = 0,20), Vitalidade (p = 0,25) e Saúde Mental (p = 0,36), manutenção em Aspectos Emocionais (p = -), e diminuição em Aspectos Físicos (p = 0,66), Dor (p = 0,28) e Aspectos Sociais (p = 0,14); aumento em IPCg (p = 0,61). Conclusão: Foi observada manutenção ou melhora de quase todos os aspectos analisados. (AU)
Aim: To verify the effects of physical activity on respiratory muscle strength, motor function, depression symptoms, quality of life and body image in the aging process in elderly participants of Active Life/UNATI extension project. Methods: Seven individuals of both sexes, mean age 68.14 ± 4.38 years, were included in the study. Initially, evaluations were performed and then reassessments of respiratory muscle strength (Pimax and Pemax), motor function (FPP-D/E, TUG, SPPB, BSE), depressive symptoms (GDS-15), quality of life and body image (IPCg) were performed after 10 interventions with physical activities, twice a week, lasting one hour. Results: We observed a significant increase in SPPB (p=0.01); non-significant increase of mean values of Pimax (p = 0.07) and decrease of Pemax (p = 0.65); maintenance in FPP-D/E (p = 1); decrease in TUG (p = 0.48); increase in EEB (p = 0.08); decrease in GDS-15 (p = 0.36); in SF36, an increase was obtained in some areas, such as Functional Capacity (p = 0.79), General Health Status (p = 0.20), Vitality (p = 0.25) and Mental Health (p = 0.36), maintenance in Emotional Aspects (p= -), and decrease in Physical Aspects (0.66), Pain (p = 0.28) and Social Aspects (p = 0.14); increase in IPCg (p = 0.61). Conclusion: The proposed protocol of physical activity promoted maintenance or improvement of almost all aspects analyzed. (AU)

[Purpose] To compare the effects of two physiotherapy protocols for chronic kidney disease patients on dialysis. [Subjects and Methods] This is a prospective, randomized study, in chronic kidney disease patients 18â years of age or older on dialysis. Sessions for each group (were conducted three times per week for a total of 10 sessions), during hemodialysis. Respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure), peak expiratory flow, and peripheral muscle strength were evaluated. The study group received motor and respiratory physiotherapy, and the control group received motor physiotherapy alone. [Results] We observed a significant increase in the maximal inspiratory pressure in the study group in the 5th and 10th sessions and in the maximal expiratory pressure in the 1st session, peak flow in the 1st and 10th sessions, and dynamometry in the 10th session. In the control group, there was a significant decrease in maximal inspiratory pressure in the 5th and 10th sessions, and in maximal expiratory pressure in the 10th session, peak flow in the 5th and 10th sessions, and dynamometry in the 5th session. [Conclusion] Implementation of motor physiotherapy combined with respiratory physiotherapy may have contributed to the improvement of the variables analyzed in the study group.
