Resumo: | The aging process leads to deterioration in physiological functions, decreasing functional capacity. Since physical exercise reduces deleterious effects, measuring physical condition is necessary in older adults. The aim of this study was to verify the evolution of the range of motion in institutionalized sedentary older adults. The sample consisted of 19 volunteers aged 65-95 years who completed the Chair Sit-and-Reach test (CSR) and the Back-Scratch test (BS) to measure flexibility of the lower and upper limbs, respectively, before and after a period of 12 weeks without intervention. The results showed significant decrease during the control period (BS, p=0.004; CSR, p=0.001). These findings confirm that physical inactivity could lead to important loss of flexibility of institutionalized individuals, indicating decline of the elastic properties of musculoskeletal tissues and of connective tissues of joints. Therefore, the participation of institutionalized older adults in properly prescribed and guided physical exercises should be continuous and regular. |

O exercício físico poderia minimizar esses efeitos deletérios, por isso é necessário conhecer a condição física dos idosos. O objetivo deste estudo é verificar a evolução da amplitude de movimento em idosos institucionalizados e sedentários. A amostra foi composta por 19 voluntários, com idades entre 65 e 95 anos, que concluíram os testes Chair Sit and Reach (CSR) e Back Scratch (BS) para medir a flexibilidade dos membros inferiores e superiores, respectivamente; antes e depois de um período de 12 semanas sem intervenção. Os resultados mostraram uma diminuição significativa durante o período de controle (BS, p=0.004; RSE, p=0.001). Esses achados confirmam que a inatividade física pode implicar uma perda significativa de flexibilidade dos idosos institucionalizados, indicando uma diminuição nas propriedades elásticas do tecido musculoesquelético e dos tecidos conjuntivos nas articulações. Portanto, a participação de idosos institucionalizados no exercício físico orientado e adequadamente prescrito deve ser contínua e regular.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Florianópolis, SC.
