Resumo: | This study evaluated static and dynamic balance and related motor valences in elderly women who had been undergone gymnastics or aquatic exercise training for at least 6 months, three times a week. Thirty-one women performed water gymnastics (mean age: 69.32 ± 6.57 years) and 28 gymnastics (65.57 ± 7.67 years). Height (cm), weight (kg) and waist, hip and abdominal circumference (cm) were measured and the body mass index (BMI) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) were calculated. Physical fitness was measured using the “sit and get up in 30 seconds” test (leg endurance) and “8-foot up-and-go” test (dynamic balance), both proposed by Rikli and Jones (1999), and the “sit and reach” (flexibility) and static balance tests described by Caromano (1998). Statistical analysis was performed using the Student t-test and Pearson’s correlation, with a level of significance of 0.05. No significant difference in the anthropometric measures (BMI and WHR) was observed between groups. In the physical fitness tests, significant differences were only found in the “8-foot up-and-go” and “sit and get up” tests, with the gymnastics group presenting better results. No correlations within or between groups were observed regarding static and dynamic balance or motor valences. In conclusion, neither type of exercise was superior but the gymnastics group tended to show better results in terms of parameters such as agility, balance and flexibility. |

Participaram 31 mulheres na modalidade hidroginástica (GH, 69,32 ± 6,57 anos) e 28 na ginástica (GG; 65,57 ± 7,67 anos), com no mínimo seis meses de prática e frequência mínina de três vezes na semana. Foram realizadas medidas de estatura (cm), peso (kg) e circunferências de cintura, quadril e abdome (cm) e cálculos do índice de massa corporal (IMC) e relação cintura-quadril (RCQ) As habilidades físicas foram medidas pelos testes de “sentar e levantar em 30 segundos” (resistência de membros inferiores) e “8-feet Up-and-go” (equilíbrio dinâmico), ambos propostos por Rikli e Jones (1999), “sentar e alcançar” (flexibilidade) e teste de equilíbrio estático de Caromano (1998). A análise estatística empregou o teste t de Student e correla- ção de Pearson com nível de significância de 0,05. Em relação às medidas antropométricas(IMC e RCQ), não foi observada diferença estatística entre os grupos. Nos testes de aptidão física, foi encontrada diferença estatística apenas nos testes “8-feet Up-and-Go” e “sentar e levantar”, com melhores resultados para o grupo GG. Não foram observadas correlações intra e inter grupos, entre equilíbrios estático e dinâmico e as valências motoras estudadas. Conclui-se que não houve superioridade entre as modalidades, mas foi possível observar uma tendência de superioridade do grupo GG em parâmetros como agilidade, equilíbrioe flexibilidade.Revista Brasileira de Cineantropometria & Desempenho Humano2018-02-02T14:52:03Z2018-02-02T14:52:03Z2009-08-29info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlepdfapplication/pdf1980-0037http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2010v12n1p55http://www.locus.ufv.br/handle/123456789/17191engv. 12, n. 1, p. 55-61, 2010Almeida, Ana Paula Pessoa Veloso deDoimo, Leonice AparecidaVeras, Renato Peixotoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:LOCUS Repositório Institucional da UFVinstname:Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)instacron:UFV2024-07-12T08:18:27Zoai:locus.ufv.br:123456789/17191Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttps://www.locus.ufv.br/oai/requestfabiojreis@ufv.bropendoar:21452024-07-12T08:18:27LOCUS Repositório Institucional da UFV - Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV)false |
