Objetivos – Avaliar o efeito de um programa de exercícios direcionado para os músculos do core e membros inferiores no equilíbrio em idosos residentes na comunidade. Método – Foram recrutados 11 indivíduos (10M; 1H), com média de idades de 80±6,9 anos, independentes e residentes na comunidade. Foram avaliadas as seguintes variáveis: equilíbrio através do teste clínico modificado de interação sensorial no equilíbrio (MCTSIB) na plataforma Balance Master®; o risco de queda com a Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg; o medo de cair com a Falls Efficacy Scale; a força dos membros inferiores com o Sit-to-Stand 30 segundos; a resistência e força dos músculos do core com o Supine Bridge e o Abdominal Stage Test e a mobilidade com o 8-foot Up and Go Test. Foi implementado um programa bissemanal de exercícios para os músculos do core durante seis semanas. Resultados – Após a intervenção registaram-se diferenças estatisticamente significativas nos testes Sit-to-Stand, Supine Bridge e MCTSIB Foam-Eyes Closed. Conclusões – A realização de um programa de exercícios direcionado para o treino dos músculos do core e dos membros inferiores não mostrou efeitos significativos no equilíbrio numa amostra de idosos residentes na comunidade, verificando-se, no entanto, um aumento da força dos membros inferiores e da resistência dos músculos do core.
ABSTRACT - Objectives – To assess the effect of an exercise program targeting core muscles and lower limb muscles, in increasing balance in elderly living in the community. METHOD – Eleven subjects (10F; 1M), mean age 80±6.9 years old, independent and living in the community. The outcome measures included the Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (MCTSIB) performed on Balance Master® to measure balance; the Berg Balance Scale for fall risk; Falls Efficacy Scale for fear of falling; Sit-to-Stand 30 seconds for lower limb strength; Supine Bridge and Abdominal Stage Test for strength and endurance of core muscles and the 8-foot Up and Go Test for mobility. Results – There were statistical differences in Sit-to-Stand test, Supine Bridge test and MCTSIB Foam-Eyes Closed after the exercise program. Conclusion – An exercise program focused on training core and lower limb muscles did not show significant effects on balance in a sample of older adults living in the community, however it has increased lower limb strength and core muscles endurance.
