简要总结
Introduction: Among the systems of the organism, it is believed that the respiratory system is the one which gets older faster due to the greater exposure to environmental pollutants over the years.The Pilates method has emerged as a form of fitness particularly providing general welfare to the individual. Objective: To evaluate the effects of Pilates' exercises on respiratory muscle strength in elderly women. Methods: The investigators have studied 07 women aged 60 and over, with preserved autonomy and cognitive skills. The Pulmonary Function Test (Spirometry) was performed using the Vitalograph® spirometer, model 8600. Respiratory muscle strength was obtained by technical measurements of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), through an analog Gerar manometer. The experiment lasted eleven (11) weeks. For comparative analysis of the data obtained in the evaluations, the investigators applied the paired t test and a significance level of 5%.
详细描述
METHODOLOGY This study is a clinical, longitudinal, prospective trial conducted at the Laboratory of Kinesiology and Cinesioterapia of Physiotherapy, Federal University of Triangulo Mineiro - UFTM. All participants signed an informed consent. The research started after approval by the Ethics Committee UFTM Research Protocol (2147-2012).
Subject Initially the invitation was made to all students enrolled in the Open University of Third Age - UATI / UFTM from August to October 2012.
The selection was based on the following inclusion criteria: (1) age and above 60 years, (2) non-practicing regular physical activity, (3) availability to attend Pilates classes twice a week (in addition to the time UATI ) and (4) with preserved cognitive autonomy and exclusion criteria: history (1) diseases that directly affect the posture (disc herniation and angular deformities of the spine), (2) cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological diseases that prevent attainment of Pilates exercises, (3) impaired cognitive capacity limited autonomy or self-determination, (4) withdrawal of participation during the assessment process, and (5) two consecutive absences or a total of three absences during the proposed time for the training set.
Thus, the proposed methodology for this study was applied in seven women with a mean age of 64 ± 6 years.
Review / Procedures The assessment instruments were used: (1) Initial Assessment Sheet, (2) spirometer and (3) manometer.
