Resumo
O envelhecimento provoca declínios físico e/ou cognitivo. Ainda, algumas conseqüências da institucionalização do idoso parecem influenciar negativamente suas esferas física e cognitiva, geralmente já prejudicadas. Porém, o exercício aeróbio pode beneficiar ambas as esferas. Assim, esta pesquisa divide-se em Estudo #1 (transversal) e Estudo #2 (longitudinal) OBJETIVO: realizar o perfil de nível de atividade física, independência funcional básica, funções executivas, memória e estado cognitivo geral de idosos moradores de instituições de longa permanência para idosos de Rio Claro-SP (Estudo #1), e analisar possíveis efeitos de um programa de Dança de Salão nestas variáveis (Estudo #2). MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: para o Estudo #1, a amostra foi aleatória e abrangeu 89,8% da população institucionalizada. Para o Estudo #2, a amostra foi de 14 idosos no Grupo Controle e de 13 idosos no Grupo Treinamento; o treinamento foi de três sessões de Dança de Salão por semana, durante seis meses. Em ambos os estudos foi aplicada a mesma bateria de testes e questionários. Os dados foram analisados com p<0,05. No Estudo #1, foi calculada média, desvio-padrão e quartis, além do coeficiente de correlação de Pearson para nível de atividade física e independência funcional básica com as outras variáveis. No Estudo #2, utilizou-se o teste de Shapiro-Wilk para analisar a normalidade da distribuição dos dados, teste t de Student para análise de similaridade inicial entre ambos os grupos. Assim, utilizou-se ANOVA two-way, three-way e four-way, dependendo do teste, além do coeficiente de correlação de ix Pearson. RESULTADOS: Em ambos os estudos, o desempenho dos idosos foi muito abaixo do esperado. No Estudo #1, obteve-se: idade=75,3 anos; Mini- Exame do Estado Mental=11,5 pontos; Escala Geriátrica de Depressão=12,8 pontos; Questionário Baecke Modificado...
Aging causes physical and/or cognitive decline. Moreover, some consequences of older adult’s institutionalization seem to exert a negative influence on their physical and cognitive spheres, which are generally are impaired. Anyhow, aerobic exercise can benefit both spheres. So, this research is divided into Study #1 (transversal) and Study #2 (longitudinal). OBJECTIVE: accomplish the profile of physical activity level, basic functional independence, executive functions, memory and general cognitive state of older adults living in the long-care homes at Rio Claro-SP (Study #1), and to analyze the possible effects of a Ballroom Dancing program in those variables (Study #2). MATERIAL AND METHODS: the sample selected in the framework of the Study#1 was randomized and achieved 89,8% of institutionalized population. With regard to Study #2, the sample included 14 older adults in the control group and 13 older adults in the training group. The training consisted by three sessions of Ballroom Dancing a week, during six months. The same battery of tests and questionnaires was applied to both studies. The data were analyzed with p<0,05. Along the Study #1, the mean and the standard-desviation e quarters were calculated, as well as the Pearson correlation coefficient concerning the physical activity level and the basic functional independence with other variables. Along the Study #2, ANOVA two-way, three-way e fourway was used, according with the test, in addition to the Pearson correlation coefficient. RESULTS: in both studies, older adult’s engagement was lower than expected. Study #1 shows that: age=75.3 years old; Mini Exam of Mental State=11.5 points; Geriatric Depression Scale=12.8 points; Modified Baecke 100 Questionnaire for Older Adults=1.0 point, and Katz Scale of Basic Functional Independence=4.5 points, in addition...
