Resumo
A expectativa de vida da população está em constante ascensão, aumentado assim o número de
indivíduos idosos no Brasil e no mundo. O processo de envelhecimento é caracterizado por
alterações fisiológicas e psicológicas, acarretando em maior vulnerabilidade para a incidência de
doenças crônicas, como a hipertensão arterial. A hipertensão arterial é uma doença multifatorial e
silenciosa que consiste na sustentação elevada dos níveis pressóricos, se tornando fator de risco para
outros eventos cardiovasculares. Assim, se torna necessário o tratamento anti-hipertensivo, o qual
pode ser farmacológico ou não-farmacológico. O exercício físico é um importante componente do
tratamento da hipertensão arterial. No entanto, existem poucos estudos demonstrando os efeitos do
treinamento resistido sobre a pressão arterial de idosos. Do ponto de vista psicológico, a depressão é
o evento psiquiátrico mais comum entre o grupo populacional de idosos, sendo desencadeada por
fatores genéticos, eventos vitais, mudança no estilo de vida, doenças incapacitantes e abandono de
atividades diárias. Sintomas como variação de humor e má qualidade do sono estão intimamente
ligadas a essas alterações psicológicas. Assim, o presente estudo avaliou os efeitos dos exercícios
resistidos sobre variáveis psicobiológicas de idosos hipertensos. Ao todo, 20 idosos foram
submetidos a uma intervenção de 16 semanas, sendo 3 encontros semanais de 60 minutos de
exercício físico resistido e a aplicação pré e pós intervenção dos questionários Escala Geriátrica de
Depressão, Variação de Humor de Brunel e Índice de Qualidade de Sono de Pittsbugh. Após
desistência, foram analisados os resultados de 10 voluntários sendo 7 do grupo treinado e 3 do
grupo controle. Apesar de os resultados demonstrarem melhora estatisticamente significante no
ganho de força, não foram encontradas alterações nas demais avaliações. Assim, pode-se concluir
que o protocolo de 16 semanas de treinamento físico resistido, apesar de ter promovido aumento de
força muscular, não promoveu alterações significantes nas variáveis psicobiológicas estudadas de
idosos hipertensos.
The life expectancy of the population is constantly increasing, which contributes to the increase of the number of elderly individuals in Brazil and in the world. The aging process is characterized by physiological and psychological changes, leading to greater vulnerability to the incidence of chronic diseases, such as hypertension. Hypertension can be described as a multifactorial and silent disease that consists of the elevated pressure levels, becoming a risk factor for other cardiovascular events. Therefore, antihypertensive treatment, which may be pharmacological or non-pharmacological, is necessary. Exercise training is a key component of the treatment of hypertension. However, there are few studies demonstrating the effects of resistance training on blood pressure in the elderlies. From the psychological point of view, depression is the most common psychiatric event among the population group of the elderlies, being triggered by genetic factors, vital events, lifestyle changes, disabling diseases and daily activities abandonment. Symptoms such as mood swings and poor sleep quality are closely linked to these psychological changes. Therefore the present study evaluated the effects of resistance exercises on psychobiological variables of hypertensive elderlies. Altogether, 20 elderlies’ volunteers were submitted into a 16-week intervention, with 3 weekly sessions of 60 minutes of resistance training and the pre and post intervention application of the Geriatric Depression Scale, Brunel Humor Variation and Sleep Quality Index of Pittsbugh. The results of 10 volunteers were analyzed, 7 of the trained group and 3 of the control group. Although the results showed a significant improvement in the force gain, no alterations were found in the other evaluations. Therefore, it can be concluded that the protocol of 16 weeks of resistance training, despite having promoted increased muscle strength, did not promote significant alterations in the studied psychobiological variables of hypertensive elderlies
