INTRODUÇÃO: A qualidade de vida de pessoas com deficiência está associada à condição de bem-estar, mesmo diante das condições limitadoras ou restritivas que possuem. Assim, o exercício físico adaptado requer a promoção de algumas estratégias de estimulação das capacidades e possui grande importância para o indivíduo, seja na descoberta de novas habilidades ou na reabilitação das funções.OBJETIVO: Ao adentrar no universo de um box de CrossFit, objetivou-se conhecer a prática oferecida para um grupo de pessoas com deficiências físicas (usuárias de cadeiras de rodas e amputados) a fim de identificar na prática os benefícios que podem apresentar enquanto exercício físico. MÉTODOS: Buscou-se na literatura especializada subsídios para a discussão e descrição dos resultados obtidos, por meio do acompanhamento de um grupo praticante da modalidade, com registros fotográficos dos treinos e relatos dos participantes.RESULTADOS: Foi notada a melhoria da autoestima dos participantes, a redescoberta de funções em indivíduos em fase de reabilitação física e a importância da socialização entre pessoas com e sem deficiências.CONCLUSÃO: Constatou-se o quanto a prática é válida para o grupo que busca melhor condicionamento, além de contribuir para aspectos psicológicos e sociais essenciais para a qualidade de vida e, consequentemente, para a convivência saudável das pessoas com deficiência no esporte e na sociedade.ABSTRACT. Quality of life in disabilities: CrossFit adapted for wheelchair users and amputees.BACKGROUND: The quality of life of people with disabilities is associated with the condition of well-being, even in the face of the limiting or restrictive conditions they have. Thus, adapted physical exercise requires the promotion of some strategies to stimulate capacities and has great importance for the individual, whether in the discovery of new skills or in the rehabilitation of functions.OBJECTIVE: When entering the universe of a CrossFit box, the objective was to get to know the practice offered to a group of people with physical disabilities (users of wheelchairs and amputees) in order to identify in practice the benefits they can present while exercising.METHODS: We sought in the specialized literature subsidies for the discussion and description of the results obtained, through the monitoring of a group practicing the sport, with photographic records of the training and reports of the participants. RESULTS: It was noted the improvement in self-esteem of participants, the rediscovery of functions in individuals in rehabilitation, and the importance of socialization between people with and without disabilities.CONCLUSION: It was found how valid the practice is for the group that seeks better conditioning, in addition to contributing to psychological and social aspects essential to the quality of life and, consequently, to the healthy coexistence of people with disabilities in sports and in society.

The wheelchair is one of the most used equipment for moving people with motion deficit in the lower limbs. The objective of this work was to design a KIT adaptable to a conventional wheelchair, turning it into an electric tricycle, in order to facilitate the movement of wheelchair users. This KIT enables the adaptive wheelchair travel greater distances in less time, making more quality of life. A structure was designed to fit in a conventional wheelchair, with the aid of CAD tools. This structure is sized to be able to withstand the stresses to which it is submitted. The adaptive KIT presented in this work can be used in a wide variety of models of wheelchairs and is functional, safe, and economically viable.

The present study was performed with elderly people in the Association of Shelter for the Elderly - Wajun Kai of Maringá after the approval of the Ethics Committee in Research of Unicesumar and the signing of the Term of Free and Informed Consent. Five healthy elderly individuals, aged 65-85 years, were randomly selected and excluded from the study were individuals with neurological diseases, wheelchair users, and those with comprehension deficits. In the sequel, the elderly were evaluated for balance using the Berg Scale, flexibility through the sit-and-reach test with the Wells bench, SF-36 quality of life, and agility using the Time Up and Go test. After completion of the evaluation, the dance practices were performed, which consisted of 10 sessions, performed in a group, lasting 40 minutes, using different rhythms, stretching and muscle relaxation. Subsequently, the participants were reassessed using the same instruments to verify the results achieved and the data obtained were analyzed in a descriptive way, and it was possible to conclude that the dance associated with kinesiotherapy contributed to the balance and the quality of life of the treated elderly.
