Resumo
O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar os possíveis benefícios psicobiológicos de um
programa de exercícios físicos funcionais em idosos institucionalizados em relação ao sono, humor
e cognição, além dos efeitos sobre as capacidades físicas e o nível de dependência\independência.
Foi realizada uma abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, e, através de questionários psicométricos e
testes físicos, oito idosos de ambos os sexos foram avaliados antes e imediatamente após um
programa de exercícios físicos generalizados, ministrados três vezes por semana em dias não
consecutivos no período de doze semanas. A hipótese testada neste estudo se referiu aos potenciais
benefícios de um programa de treinamento físico funcional na melhora da funcionalidade e
autonomia do idoso, além dos elementos psicobiológicos como o sono, o humor e os aspectos
cognitivos de idosos moradores de Instituições de Longa Permanência (ILP). O programa foi
constituído de exercícios generalizados, monitorados pela Escala de Esforço percebido, com sessões
com duração entre 30-50 minutos. Foram trabalhados exercícios que envolveram grandes grupos
musculares, e a ênfase do trabalho foi dada nas capacidades biomotoras essenciais nas atividades
diárias. Os voluntários foram avaliados pré e pós período de intervenção, sendo avaliados a
cognição (Mini Exame do Estado Mental), o humor (Idate Traço, Escala Geriátrica de Depressão,
Escala de Humor de Brunel) e o sono (Mini questionário do Sono, Escala de Sonolência Excessiva
de Epworth). Para avaliar as atividades de vida diária, foi utilizado a Escala de Katz, e a aptidão
física foi avaliada por meio de medida da força de Membros Superiores, Equilíbrio e Velocidade de
caminhada. Os resultados demonstraram que o programa de exercícios implementado foi suficiente
para manter a condição física e psicobiológica dos voluntários, no entanto, não houve melhoras
significativas nas variáveis estudadas. É possível que a intensidade das atividades, o tempo de
execução do programa e a frequência das atividades tenham contribuído para este resultado.
Conclui-se que um programa de exercícios físicos generalizados com duração de 12 semanas para
idosos institucionalizados é capaz manter a condição física e psicobiológica
The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible psychobiological benefits of a generalized exercise program for institutionalized elderly people, and observe the sleep, mood, cognition, and physical capabilities and the level of dependence\independence. A quantitative and qualitative method was carried out, thus, psychometric questionnaires and physical tests were applied in eight volunteers of both sexes, before and immediately after a program of generalized physical exercise, performed three times per week on non-consecutive days during a period of twelve weeks. The hypothesis tested in this study referred to the potential benefits of a program of functional physical training on the improvement of functionality and independence of elderly people, as well as improving some psychobiological elements such as sleep, mood, and cognitive aspects of elderly residents in long-stay institutions (ILP). The program consisted of generalized exercises, monitored by the perceived exertion scale, with sessions lasting between 30-50 minutes. Exercises involving large muscle groups were carried out, and the emphasis of the work was given in essential biomotor skills in daily activities. The volunteers were evaluated and assessed pre and post intervention period for cognition (Mini Mental State Examination), mood (STAI Trait, Geriatric Depression Scale, Brunel Mood Scale) and sleep (Mini Sleep Questionnaire, Scale Epworth sleepiness Excessive). To evaluate the activities of daily life, the Katz Scale was used, and physical fitness was assessed by measuring the strength of Upper members, Balance and Walking speed. The results showed that implemented exercise program was enough to maintain the psychobiological and physical condition of the volunteers; however, there were no significant improvements in the variables that were studied. It is possible that the low intensity of activity, the execution time of the program and the frequency of the activities applied in this program contributed to this result. In conclusion, a program of generalized physical exercise for a duration of 12 weeks for institutionalized elderly people is capable of maintaining their physical and psychobiological condition
