ABSTRACT

Background: Multimodal training may induce positive effects in different physical domains. Compared to unimodal training, multimodal training allows similar effect sizes at lower overall training volumes. Studies are needed to investigate the potential value of multimodal training with systematic training, especially compared to other exercise-based interventions. This study aimed to compare the effects of a multimodal training with an outdoor walking program, on postural control, muscle strength, and flexibility in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: This study is a pragmatic controlled clinical trial. We compared two real community exercise groups: a multimodal group (n = 53) and an outdoor, overground walking group (n = 45). Both groups participated in 32 sessions of training, twice a week, over 16 weeks. Participants were evaluated using the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest), Handgrip, 5-Times Sit-to-Stand Test, 3-meter Gait Speed Test, and Sit and Reach Test. Results: There was an interaction effect between evaluation and group in the Mini- BESTest with difference between pre and post-intervention only in multimodal group. Regarding gait speed, there was an interaction effect between evaluation and group with difference between pre and post-intervention only in the walking group. In the Sit and Reach Test: there was interaction effect between evaluation and group with difference between pre and post-intervention only in the walking group. Conclusion: The multimodal training improved postural control, while an outdoor walking program improved gait speed and flexibility. Both interventions improved muscle strength without between-group differences.

ABSTRACT

Poor nutrition increases the risk of diseases and adverse health outcomes in older adults. We evaluated the potential inadequacy of nutrient intake among older adults in Brazil and its association with body anthropometry and composition outcomes. Dietary intake was obtained from 295 community-living older adults (>60 years old), of both genders, using a seven-day food record. Nutrient inadequacy was further identified based on the Dietary Reference Intakes and European Guidelines. Skeletal muscle mass (SM), strength and performance, and the diagnosis of sarcopenia were assessed using reference methods. Nutritional inadequacy was high, with energy, dietary fiber, and six micronutrients exhibiting the greatest inadequacy levels (>80%). Energy intake was correlated with SM strength (p = 0.000) and performance (p = 0.001). Inadequate energy, fiber, and protein intakes influenced BMI, while inadequate intake of vitamin B6 directly affected the diagnosis of sarcopenia (p ≤ 0.005). Further research is required to investigate whether these inadequacies can be associated with other clinical health outcomes.

ABSTRACT

A educação física atua, historicamente, na saúde e na educação, aos interesses políticos do Brasil desde a primeira metade do século XIX, período conhecido como era da eugenia". Atualmente a educação física por meio das atividades físicas, dos exercícios físicos, na busca da aptidão para "cuidar do corpo" e acabar com o sedentarismo, tem se revelado, com uma nova roupagem, um instrumento para o que se chamou de higienismo e eugenismo pós-moderno. A Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de São Paulo implantou em 2001 o Projeto de Medicina Tradicional Chinesa (MTC) como prática inovadora de promoção da saúde, estimulando a realização no âmbito da atenção básica. No conjunto das ações da MTC encontram-se as práticas corporais como Tai Ch'i Chuan, Tai Ch'i Pai Lin, Lian Gong, Ch'i Gong, Meditação Ativa, dentre outras, buscando melhorar a saúde e a percepção do próprio corpo. Este trabalho buscou analisar e discutir as práticas corporais oferecidas na Entidade Básica de Saúde Vila Dalva, na visão dos usuários e pelo enfoque da promoção da saúde, sendo práticas corporais de origem oriental ou não. Utilizou-se para o estudo na abordagem de análise qualitativa, e a técnica de coleta de dados foi de entrevista semi-estruturada com usuários da referida Unidade Básica de Saúde. Foram entrevistados usuários que participam das práticas corporais num período superior ou igual a um ano e usuários que não participam das práticas oferecidas pela UBS. No processo de análise de um total de 17 entrevistas, levantou-se 3 categorias temáticas mais recorrentes conforme elementos do conceito de promoção da saúde: Acessibilidade, Medicalização e Participação Social. Verificou-se que as práticas corporais, mesmo tendo um conceito mais adequado às propostas do Programa De Saúde da Família (PSF) na busca da Promoção da Saúde no âmbito da atenção básica, estão sendo oferecidas e desenvolvidas com elementos de medicalização adquiridos historicamente, e dessa forma, contrariando a proposta do PSF...
