To assess the impacts of 28 months of detraining imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic on the functional fitness of older women practicing functional or concurrent training.
A clinical trial was conducted with 16 weeks of intervention and 28 months of detraining imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Ninety-five participants were allocated to functional training (FT - 32), concurrent training (CT - 31), or the control group (CG - 32). All the dependent variables were measured pre-training, post-training, and after the detraining period. The functional fitness was assessed by the put on and take off a t-shirt (PTS - upper limbs), timed up and go (TUG - dynamic balance), five times sit-to-stand (FTSST - lower-limb muscle power), gallon-jug shelf-transfer (GJST - global function), and 10 m walk (W10 m - walking ability) tests.
Sixty-three women remained after the detraining period, twenty-four in the FT (66.0 ± 3.8 years), twenty in the CT (65.0 ± 4.3 years), and nineteen in the CG (69.6 ± 5.9 years). Comparing the detraining vs. the pre-intervention, the FT and CT showed a smaller reduction than CG for the PTS (β = -2.296; β = -1.914), timed up and go (β = -0.705; β = -0.600), five times sit-to-stand (β = -1.970; β = -2.970), gallon-jug shelf-transfer (β = -1.512; β = -1.003), without differences in the 10 m walk. Also, the concurrent training showed a smaller reduction than the functional training in the FTSST (β = 1.000).
Even after a long detraining period imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, FT and CT practices were effective strategies for maintaining the functional fitness of older women.
评估由 COVID-19 大流行导致的 28 个月停训对进行功能性或并训的老年女性的功能体能的影响。
这是一项临床试验，干预时间为 16 周，因 COVID-19 大流行而被迫停训 28 个月。95 名参与者被分配到功能性训练组（FT - 32）、并训组（CT - 31）或对照组（CG - 32）。所有的因变量均在训练前、训练后和停训后进行测量。功能体能通过穿脱 T 恤（PTS - 上肢）、计时起立行走（TUG - 动态平衡）、五次坐站起（FTSST - 下肢肌肉力量）、加仑罐货架转移（GJST - 整体功能）和 10 米步行（W10 m - 行走能力）测试进行评估。
停训后，有 63 名女性留了下来，FT 组 24 人（66.0 ± 3.8 岁），CT 组 20 人（65.0 ± 4.3 岁），CG 组 19 人（69.6 ± 5.9 岁）。与干预前相比，FT 和 CT 组在 PTS（β = -2.296；β = -1.914）、计时起立行走（β = -0.705；β = -0.600）、五次坐站起（β = -1.970；β = -2.970）、加仑罐货架转移（β = -1.512；β = -1.003）方面的下降幅度均小于 CG 组，但 10 米步行方面无差异。此外，与功能性训练相比，CT 组在 FTSST（β = 1.000）方面的下降幅度也更小。
即使在 COVID-19 大流行导致的长期停训之后，FT 和 CT 训练仍然是维持老年女性功能体能的有效策略。
