The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the Pilates method on the personal autonomy, static balance and quality of life in healthy elderly females.
Fifty-two elderly females were selected and submitted to evaluation protocols to assess functional autonomy (GDLAM), static balance (Tinetti) and quality of life (WHOQOL-OLD). The Pilates group (PG: n=27) participated in Pilates exercises twice weekly for eight weeks. Descriptive statistics were compiled using the Shapiro-Wilk test. The level of significance was considered to be p< or =0.05.
The dependent Student-t test demonstrated significant post-test differences in the Pilates group in the following areas balance (Delta%=4.35%, p=0.0001) and General Index of GDLAM (Delta%=-13.35%, p=0.0001); the Wilcoxon test demonstrated significant post-test differences in the quality of life Index (Delta%=1.26%, p=0.0411).
The Pilates method can offer significant improvement in personal autonomy, static balance and quality of life.
本研究旨在评估普拉提方法对健康老年女性个人自主性、静态平衡能力和生活质量的影响。
选取52名老年女性,对其进行评估方案以评估功能自主性(GDLAM)、静态平衡能力(Tinetti)和生活质量(WHOQOL-OLD)。普拉提组(PG:n = 27)每周参加两次普拉提练习,持续八周。使用夏皮罗-威尔克检验编制描述性统计数据。显著性水平设定为p≤0.05。
相关样本t检验显示,普拉提组在以下方面的测试后差异显著:平衡能力(变化百分比=4.35%,p = 0.0001)和GDLAM综合指数(变化百分比=-13.35%,p = 0.0001);威尔科克森检验显示,生活质量指数测试后差异显著(变化百分比=1.26%,p = 0.0411)。
普拉提方法可显著改善个人自主性、静态平衡能力和生活质量。
