Objetivo: Avaliar aspectos da qualidade de vida em pacientes pós-implante de marca-passo e relacionar com gênero, idade e tempo de implante. Métodos: Foram estudados 107 indivíduos de ambos os gêneros (49,5% do sexo feminino e 50,5% do sexo masculino), tempo de implante três a 12 meses (média de 6,36±2,99 meses), estáveis clinicamente com idade acima de 18 anos (média de 69,3±12,6 anos). A avaliação constou de: dados pessoais, clínicos, do implante e questionários de qualidade de vida (AQUAREL e SF-36). Análise estatística empregou teste t e correlação de Pearson, com significância de 5%. Resultados: No SF-36, o menor escore ocorreu no domínio aspectos físicos e o maior, em aspectos sociais. No AQUAREL, o menor escore foi em dispneia e o maior em desconforto. Verificou-se associação significante entre gênero e qualidade de vida no SF-36 (capacidade funcional e aspectos emocionais) e no AQUAREL (dispneia). Observaram-se correlações negativas entre idade e qualidade de vida (capacidade funcional do SF-36 e em desconforto do AQUAREL) em relação ao tempo de implante, correlação com vitalidade do SF-36. Conclusão: Menores escores de qualidade de vida foram encontrados em aspectos físicos e dispneia; maiores em aspectos sociais e desconforto. Homens apresentaram maiores escores de qualidade de vida em capacidade funcional, aspectos emocionais e dispneia. Conforme aumenta a idade, pior é a qualidade de vida em capacidade funcional e desconforto, e, quanto maior o tempo de implante de marca-passo, pior a qualidade de vida em vitalidade. Gênero, idade e tempo de implante influenciam na qualidade de vida, dessa forma, essas variáveis devem ser consideradas nas estratégias para melhora da qualidade de vida em portadores de marca-passo.

Introduction:The regular practice of physical activity is being used as a therapeutic resource to the elderly population, with the objective of reduction of the losses provoked by the growing old process. The home place (urban or rural) is still little explored in literature about your infl uence in the physical capacity of the elderly people. Objective: The aim of this study was to value and compare the quality of life, motion and functional capacity between physically active and sedentary elderly people, residents in the urban and rural area. Methods: Sixty people with age above 60 years old were valued, 20 physically active residents in the urban area (66,5 ± 4,32 years), 20 sedentary residents in the urban area (68,8± 7,24 years), 10 physically active residents in the rural area (64,4±2,46 years) and 10 sedentary residents in the rural area (68±5,78 years). It was realized the evaluation of the fl exibility (previous fl exon of the trunk), mobility (timed up and go test), a six-minute walk test and answered a quality of life’s questionnaire SF-36. To compare the results obtained by the two groups was used the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the signifi cant presence of the test was performed post hoc Newman-Keuls. The level of signifi cance used in statistical analysis was 5% (p<0,05).Results: It was observed that the physically active elderly people obtaine better performance on the six-minutes walk test. It wasn’t found difference in the mobility among the groups. In relation to the quality of life, the elderly residents in the rural area, were better in the component Vitally. In relation to the fl exibility the elderly residents in the urban area obtained the best results. So, we can conclude that the practice of physical activity realized by the volunteers contributed to a better functional capacity, observed by the biggest distance gone through on the walk test. The rural home place positively infl uenced the vitality control, while the fl exibility was worse presented in these elderly people.

Considering the importance of muscle strength to functional capacity in the elderly, the study investigated the effects of age on isokinetic performance and torque production as a function of muscle length. Eleven younger (24.2±2.9years) and seventeen older men (62.7±2.5years) were subjected to concentric and eccentric isokinetic knee extension/flexion at 60°.s-1 and 120°.s-1 through a functional range of motion. The older group presented lower peak torque (Nm) than the young group for both isokinetic contraction types (age effect, p<0.001). Peak torque deficits in the older group were near 30% and 29% for concentric and eccentric contraction, respectively. Concentric peak torque was lower at 120.s-1 than at 60.s-1 for both groups (angular velocity effect, p<0.001). Eccentric knee extension torque was the only exercise tested that showed an interaction effect between age and muscle length (p<0.001), which suggested different torque responses to the muscle length between groups. Compared with the young group, the eccentric knee extension torque was 22% to 56% lower in the older group, with the deficits being lower in the shortened muscle length (22-27%) and higher (33-56%) in stretched muscle length. In older men, the production of eccentric knee strength seems to be muscle length-dependent. At more stretched positions, older subjects lose the capacity to generate eccentric knee extension torque. More studies are needed to assess the mechanisms involved in eccentric strength preservation with aging and its relationship with muscle length.

The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the effects of three types of physical activity: general physical activity, dance and weight training, in functional capacity in elderly. The sample included 94 seniors with a mean age of 64.06 ± 7.38 years, who participated in PROFIT. For the evaluation we used the battery of test from AAHPERD, which checks the levels of flexibility, coordination, agility and dynamic balance, strength endurance and general endurance before and after four months of intervention. The results indicated a maintained in the levels of functional components. The participants general physical activity group had better results on the components: strength endurance, agility and dynamic balance. It can be concluded that the practice of regular physical activity and systematized, regardless of the type may have a positive influence on the functional performance of elderly and can preserve their independence and autonomy.
