ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of ten-week multicomponent training with different exercise frequencies on body composition (BC) and physical fitness (PF) in overweight and obese young children. METHODS: 40 children, aged 12-15 (14.77±1.49), were randomly selected and assigned to experimental groups to train three times/week (EG1) or two times/week (EG2) for 10 weeks and a CG group (no training program). RESULTS: It was shown that experimental groups (EG1 and EG2) improved similarly aerobic capacity (3.8% and 3.5%, respectively), muscular strength (29.7% and 25.2%), flexibility (6.1% and 9.9%), body mass index (5.0% and 4.6%), and body fat (6.4% and 5.6%) from pre- to post-training. CG group showed no significant improvements on BC and PF variables. CONCLUSION: Short-term multicomponent training seems to be effective on PF improvements, independently of the exercise frequency, in overweight and obese young children. However, it seems to be more effective to perform a multicomponent exercise training three times/week to improve muscular strength, body mass index, and decrease body fat percentage. This knowledge should be considered by professionals in physical education or youth sport in order to adapt practical tasks depending on the training purposes.

ABSTRACT

Verificar os efeitos de um programa de aulas de hidroginástica, em relação com o fator de equilíbrio avaliado pela escala de Berg, e com o da amplitude de movimentos na escala de Leighton. Foi utilizado um goniómetro e participaram 64 gerontes com idades entre 63 e 84. Realizou-se uma análise descritiva dos dados por meio da Escala de Berg e da Escala de Leighton. Os gerontes que praticam atividade física regularmente apresentaram maior nível de mobilidade, traduzido por valores mais favoráveis de equilíbrio, o que pode contribuir para melhoria de sua qualidade de vida.


Determine the effects of a program of hydrogimnastics sessions, compared with the balance assessments by the Berg scale and range of movements in the scale of Leighton. It was used a goniometer and a sample of 64 elderly aged between 63 and 84 years. We performed a descriptive analysis of the data by Berg Scale and Leighton Scale. The elderly who practice regularly physical activity had a higher level of mobility, translated by more favorable values of balance and range of motion when compared with the sedentary group, which may contribute to the improvement of their quality of life.


Para evaluar los efectos de un programa de clases de ejercicios aeróbicos acuáticos en relación con el equilibrio evaluada por la escala de Berg y magnitud de los movimientos en la escala de Leighton. Se utilizó un goniómetro y una muestra de 64 sujetos, de entre 63 y 84 años de edad. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de los datos utilizando la Escala de Berg y la Escala Leighton. Las personas mayores que practican una actividad física regular tuvieron un mayor nível de movilidad, traducido por valores más favorables de equilibrio y amplitud de movimiento en comparación con el grupo sedentario, lo que puede ayudar a mejorar su calidad de vida.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To enhance the importance of physical activity programs for elderly and their influence on BMI and triglycerides. Methods: The sample consisted of 91 elderly individuals, 63 females and 28 males aged between 65 and 78 years of age. All seniors practice water activities, including swimming and gymnastics. Were analyzed with respect to two aspects: BMI, Triglycerides and practice time, seniors who were physically active at least 2 months, and seniors who maintained habits of physical activity between 2 and 6 months and still accumulated 30 or more minutes of other activities. We have established contingency tables were confronted where the variables described in the analysis. Results: It was found that elderly who maintained physical activity programs were broader outnumbered those who were overweight and obesity rates in Table I of BMI, and lower triglycerides values. Conclusions: We concluded therefore that physical activity programs that contemplate 2 or more hours per week, duly organized and systematized constitute a positive factor in combating inactivity and turn into a more active and cheerful elderly.(AU)


Objetivo: Aumentar a importância de programas de atividade física para idosos e sua influência sobre o IMC e triglicérides. Métodos: A amostra foi composta por 91 idosos, 63 do sexo feminino e 28 do sexo masculino com idade entre 65 e 78 anos de idade. Todos os idosos praticam atividades aquáticas, como natação e ginástica. Foram analisados com relação a dois aspectos: IMC, triglicerídeos e tempo de prática, idosos que eram fisicamente ativos, pelo menos há 2 meses, e idosos que mantiveram os hábitos de atividade física entre 2 e 6 meses e ainda acumularam 30 minutos ou mais de outras atividades. Estabelecemos tabelas de contingência, que foram confrontadas com as variáveis descritas na análise. Resultados: Observou-se que idosos que mantêm programas de atividade física apresentavam menor desvantagem manifesta em taxas de sobrepeso e obesidade no quadro I do IMC; e valores de triglicérides mais baixos. Conclusões: Conclui-se, portanto, que programas de atividade física que contemplam 2 ou mais horas por semana, devidamente organizados e sistematizados constituem um fator positivo no combate ao sedentarismo, podendo transformar a pessoa em um idoso mais ativo e alegre.(AU)
