Resumo: | Objective: To evaluate the body composition and aerobic capacity of elderly walkers Methodology: The approach used in this article is field research, which is quantitative and descriptive. Using as a research tool the systematic collection of data on a group of 12 elderly people. The following tests were performed: mile test of 1600 meters to assess aerobic capacity and strength test of the lower limbs to sit and stand up from the chair. In addition, the Body Mass Index and Fat Percentage were collected. Results: The results showed a statistically significant difference in relation to Body Mass, Fat Percentage and VO2Máx between genders. In addition, a significant correlation was found between the sit and stand test with VO2Máx. Conclusion: It was evidenced that, in our sample, a greater capacity of VO2Máx in the male population, when compared to the female. Finally, the importance of maintaining daily physical activity is emphasized, especially the elderly population for maintaining their functional capacity and quality of life. |

Metodología: El enfoque utilizado en este artículo es la investigación de campo, que es cuantitativa y descriptiva. Utilizando como herramienta de investigación la recopilación sistemática de datos sobre un grupo de 12 personas mayores. Se realizaron las siguientes pruebas: prueba de milla de 1600 metros para evaluar la capacidad aeróbica y la prueba de fuerza de las extremidades inferiores para sentarse y levantarse de la silla. Además, se recopilaron el índice de masa corporal y el porcentaje de grasa. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en relación con la masa corporal, el porcentaje de grasa y el VO2Máx entre géneros. Además, se encontró una correlación significativa entre la prueba de sentarse y pararse con VO2Máx. Conclusión: Se evidenció que, en nuestra muestra, una mayor capacidad de VO2Máx en la población masculina, en comparación con la femenina. Finalmente, se enfatiza la importancia de mantener la actividad física diaria, especialmente la población de edad avanzada para mantener su capacidad funcional y calidad de vida.Objetivo: Avaliar a composição corporal e capacidade aeróbica de idosos praticantes de caminhada Metodologia: A forma de abordagem do presente artigo é pesquisa de campo, sendo ela quantitativo-descritivo. Tendo como instrumento da pesquisa a coleta sistemática de dados sobre um grupo de 12 idosos. Sendo realizados os seguintes testes: teste de milha de 1600 metros para avaliar a capacidade aeróbia e teste de força dos membros inferiores sentar e levantar da cadeira. Além disso foram coletados o Índice de Massa Corporal e Porcentual de Gordura. Resultados: Os resultados demostraram diferença estatisticamente significativa em relação a Massa Corporal, Porcentual de Gordura e VO2Máximo entre gênero. Além disso, foi encontrado uma correlação significativa entre o teste de sentar e levantar com o VO2Máximo. Conclusão: Ficou evidenciado que, em nossa amostra, uma maior capacidade de VO2máximo na população masculina, quando comparada ao feminino. Por fim, ressalta-se a importância da manutenção da atividade física diária, principalmente, a população idosa para a manutenção de sua capacidade funcional e qualidade de vida.Research, Society and Development2020-04-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/338210.33448/rsd-v9i6.3382Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 No. 6; e107963382Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 Núm. 6; e107963382Research, Society and Development; v. 9 n. 6; e1079633822525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3382/3830Copyright (c) 2020 Vinicius Muller Reis Weber, Flávia Ângela Servat Martins, Tamila Siqueira, Marcos Roberto Brasil, Júlio Cesar Lacerda Martins, Vinicius Machado de Oliveira, Luiz Augusto da Silvainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSiqueira, TamilaBrasil, Marcos RobertoMartins, Flávia Ângela ServatMartins, Júlio Cesar LacerdaWeber, Vinicius Muller ReisOliveira, Vinicius Machado deSilva, Luiz Augusto da2020-08-20T18:05:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/3382Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:27:35.818871Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
