Resumo: | Several studies have reported physical and psychosocial benefi ts of regular physical activity.Stretching exercises, once they are easy to apply and learn, become a simple and effective way to improve functionalcapacity and quality of life of elderly individuals. In 2009 was created an activity within the extensionproject Physical Activity Program for Elderly (PROFIT), called Stretching group. It aims to present the technical/administrative organizational aspects involved in implementing a stretching group within the university extensionproject and to illustrate the applicability of this type of intervention in the elderly. The group is directed towardwomen, aged 60 years or older who do not engage in systematic physical activity. Due to the support provided bythe university and the ease understanding and applicability of the exercises performed in the stretching group, itseems to be a relatively simple alternative to be implemented within a university extension project. In addition,there was a positive change in the Global functional fi tness index (IAFG) of elderly participants. Thus, the implementationof other groups in different places should be encouraged. It is noteworthy that the multidisciplinaryparticipation in health (physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, etc.) would enrich the benefi tsprovided by this type of intervention for the elderly. |

Exercícios de alongamento, por serem de fácil aplicação e aprendizagem,tornam-se uma opção simples e efi caz na melhora da capacidade funcional e qualidade de vida deindivíduos idosos. Em 2009 foi criada uma atividade dentro do projeto de extensão Programa deAtividade Física para Terceira Idade (PROFIT), o Grupo de alongamento. Objetiva-se apresentaros aspectos organizacionais técnico/administrativos envolvidos na implementação de um grupode alongamento em um projeto de extensão universitária e exemplifi car a aplicabilidade deste tipode intervenção, em idosos. O grupo é voltado para mulheres, com 60 anos ou mais que não pratiquematividade física sistematizada. Devido ao apoio fornecido pela universidade e a facilidade decompreensão e aplicabilidade dos exercícios realizados no grupo de alongamento, este surge comouma alternativa relativamente simples a ser implantada em um projeto de extensão universitária.Além disso, observou-se uma alteração positiva no Índice de aptidão funcional geral (IAFG) dasidosas participantes. Dessa forma a implementação de outros grupos, em diferentes locais deve serincentivada. Vale ressaltar que a participação multidisciplinar em saúde (fi sioterapeutas, terapeutasocupacionais, psicólogos, etc) enriqueceria ainda mais os benefícios proporcionados por esse tipode intervenção para indivíduos idosos.Universidade de São Paulo.
