Abstract(s)
Diante das várias formas de atividade física, o Método Pilates tem como objetivo melhorar a força muscular, flexibilidade, equilíbrio, correção postural, diminuição da dor e aprimoramento da coordenação motora e poderia ser um meio eficaz para melhorar a percepção da qualidade de vida na população idosa. Objetivo: Revisar as evidências atuais sobre os efeitos da prática do método Pilates em idosos na qualidade de vida, força muscular, equilíbrio, respiração e postura. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados eletrónicas LILACS, PEDro, Pubmed e Scielo para identificar estudos randomizados controlados que relatavam o uso do Pilates como forma de terapia para idosos. A seleção teve como critérios de inclusão artigos originais nas línguas inglês, português e espanhol. Resultados: Foram incluídos 9 estudos randomizados controlados, todos os autores sugerem o Pilates como uma prática terapêutica muito benéfica para a população idosa, visto que o método visa melhorar a estabilidade estática e dinâmica, bem como a postura e movimentos em geral. Conclusão: Foi possível identificar que a prática do Método Pilates promoveu melhoria nos níveis de flexibilidade, agilidade, equilíbrio dinâmico e resistência aeróbia. Além disso, constatou-se melhoria no tempo de reação e qualidade de vida. Desta forma, é necessário a realização de outros estudos com amostras maiores para que se obtenha uma conclusão segura. Não obstante o Pilates ainda se encontra nos seus estágios iniciais, o uso deste na reabilitação e prevenção parecesse promissor, tendo vindo a obter cada vez melhores resultados.
Given the various forms of physical activity, the Pilates Method aims to improve muscle strength, flexibility, balance, postural correction, decrease pain and improve motor coordination and could be an effective way to improve the perception of quality of life in the elderly population. Objective: Review current evidence on the effects of Pilates practice in the elderly on quality of life, muscle strength, balance, breathing and posture. Methodology: A search was carried out in the LILACS, PEDro, Pubmed and Scielo electronic databases to identify randomized controlled studies that reported the use of Pilates as a form of therapy for the elderly. The selection had as inclusion criteria original articles in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Results: 9 randomized controlled studies were included, all authors suggest Pilates as a very beneficial therapeutic practice for the elderly population, as the method aims to improve static and dynamic stability, as well as posture and movements in general. Conclusion: It was possible to identify that the practice of the Pilates Method promoted an improvement in the levels of flexibility, agility, dynamic balance and aerobic endurance. In addition, there was an improvement in reaction time and quality of life. Thus, it is necessary to carry out other studies with larger samples in order to reach a safe conclusion. Although Pilates is still in its early stages, its use in rehabilitation and prevention seems promising, having been getting better and better results.
