Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar os efeitos de um programa de exercício físico periodizado, com a duração de 3 meses, nas diferentes componentes da aptidão física e na capacidade de equilíbrio motor de uma população idosa. Através de um estudo de design comparativo, os participantes foram divididos em grupos de exercício periodizado (N=16) e grupo de exercício não periodizado (N=11). As componentes da aptidão física medidas foram a força dos membros superiores e inferiores, flexibilidade dos membros superiores e inferiores, a coordenação, a agilidade, o equilíbrio dinâmico/ estático e a resistência aeróbia. As variáveis avaliadas foram registadas num primeiro momento e após 3 meses de intervenção. Os resultados do presente estudo permitem concluir e afirmar que o programa de exercício físico aplicado durante 3 meses mostrou ser eficaz, sendo que de forma geral houve uma melhoria de todas as componentes da aptidão física trabalhadas. Os resultados do estudo permitem afirmam que os programas de exercício físico periodizado e corretamente direcionados podem funcionar como estratégia preventiva, uma vez que aparentemente influenciam de forma positiva a aptidão física e o equilíbrio motor deste tipo de população.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of a 3-month periodized physical exercise program on the different components of physical fitness and on the motor balance capacity of an elderly population. Using a comparative design, the participants were divided into an periodized exercise group (N=16) and a non-periodized exercise group (N=11). The physical fitness components measured were upper and lower limb strength, upper and lower limb flexibility, coordination, agility, dynamic/static balance and aerobic endurance. The variables assessed were recorded initially and after 3 months of intervention. The results of this study allow us to conclude and affirm that the physical exercise program applied for 3 months proved to be effective, and that in general there was an improvement in all the physical fitness components worked on. The results of the study allow us to affirm that periodized and correctly directed physical exercise programs can work as a preventive strategy, since they appear to have a positive influence on physical fitness and motor balance in this type of population.
