About this study
The researcher interest in self-perception of health status and physical condition of the elderly is determinant in an increasingly aging society and where one should seek to improve their quality of life.
Read the detailed description
Introduction: The researcher interest in self-perception of health status and physical condition of the elderly is determinant in an increasingly aging society and where one should seek to improve their quality of life.
Objective: To study the self-perception of health status and the impact of a physical activity program oriented during 4 months in an elderly population practitioners of hydrogymnastics.
Methods: As instruments were used the questionnaire mos short health survey - 36 items version 2 (SF-36), and the battery of Functional Tests Fitness Test. The questionnaires were filled by the elderly with the presence of the investigator and the physical fitness was evaluated following the protocol of proof. The sample was constituted of 83 elderly individuals over 55 years of age. In statistical terms we used a percentage analysis in the questionnaire and in the evaluation of the physical condition after application of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, we used the non-parametric test for two paired variables Wilcoxon.
