Women's Experience

Living to an old age is considered by many elderly women to bring about a decreased quality of life. Hydrotherapy allows individuals to engage in certain physical activities that cannot be done outside the water. The purpose of this study was to explore elderly women’s experience of the role of hydrotherapy in their health and was conducted in selected pools of Guilan province in Iran in 2015-2016. Twenty-three elderly women were selected using a purposeful sampling strategy. The data was gathered through semi-structured interviews; Researchers used a qualitative design, based on a content analysis approach. Analysis results were identified as 3 main themes and 12 subthemes. Improved physical health: reduced consumption of painkillers, improved balance, pleasant breathing, easy menopause; Moving toward ability: increased independence, role fulfillment, application of efficient strategies, will to health; Psychological and social relief: sense of liveliness, reduced stress, peaceful sleep and re-emergence in society. “Competence development” was identified as the central code. Results indicate that participation in hydrotherapy by elderly women supported the benefit of advising them to participate in hydrotherapy sessions, as well as government’s cooperation with regard to creating proper conditions for improving the health and life quality of this valuable population.

Os diferentes tipos de treinamento de força (TF) apresentam distintas adaptações do tecido muscular como o desenvolvimento de força máxima, potência e/ou força reativa muscular. Dentre estes tipos de TF, estão os treinamentos de força tradicional (TFT), potência (TP) e de força reativa, em que está presente o ciclo-alongamento-encurtamento (CAE) (TR). A habilidade de produzir força rapidamente requer a participação intensa das fibras do tipo IIX, condição esta frequentemente reduzida em mulheres idosas. A força rápida tem importância significativa, para homens e mulheres de todas as idades, destacando-se ainda mais em mulheres idosas. A prescrição de um tipo de TF que melhor desenvolva as atividades de vida diária (AVD) é primordial para a manutenção da independência física e qualidade de vida de idosas. A metodologia embasou-se em pesquisa bibliográfica, utilizando artigos atuais e clássicos da literatura sobre TF em mulheres idosas (publicados a partir de 2000) selecionados nas bases de dados  Pubmed e Sportdiscus, que comparassem e analisassem pelo menos dois tipos específicos de TF (TFT, TP e TR). Sendo assim, o objetivo do presente estudo de revisão foi comparar os efeitos de três diferentes tipos de TF no desempenho de capacidades funcionais em mulheres idosas. Como resultados os artigos consultados apresentam um consenso de que o TP e TR desenvolvam de forma mais eficaz as capacidades funcionais de mulheres idosas e que o TR é mais efetivo no desenvolvimento da força reativa muscular que o TP. Dessa forma, conclui-se que o TR é mais efetivo para o desenvolvimento da produção de força rápida do músculo que os outros tipos específicos de treinamento de força e por consequência disto, melhor desenvolve as capacidades funcionais de mulheres idosas. EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF STRENGTHTRAINING ON THE FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY  PERFORMANCE IN ELDERLY WOMEN abstract Distinct adaptations of muscle tissue as the development of maximum strength, power and/or reactive muscle strength seems to be associated with different programs of strength training (ST). Among these several programs, there are the traditional strength training (TST), the power training (PT) and the reactive force, in which is present the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) (RT). The ability to produce force rapidly requires intense participation of the type IIX fibers. This condition is often reduced in older women. However, this kind of force adaptation is very important for the elderly women functional capacity. Consequently, the prescription of one type of ST that best carries out the activities of daily living (ADL) is essential for maintaining physical independence and quality of life of elderly women. Therefore, the aim of this review study was to compare the effects of three different programs of ST in the performance of functional abilities in older women throughout a research on the current and classic papers (published since 2000) selected from the Pubmed and SPORTDiscus databases, that compare and analyze at least two specific types of ST (i.e. TST, PT and RT). The results of our review showed that the PT and RT are more effective for the development of functional capacities for older women than the other programs studied. Furthermore, the RT is more effective in developing reactive muscular strength exercises with the use of SSC than PT. The conclusion of the present study was that RT is more effective than the others specific programs studied of strength training for the development of rapid force. as well as, it was the best program associated with the development of the functional capacity for older women.

The Glittre ADL-test (TGlittre) has been designed and validated to measure functional capacity during daily living activities in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but is now used in several other situations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of TGlittre in a sample of overweight and obese eutrophic elderly. This was an experimental and cross-sectional study, which included 21 elderly women, allocated by BMI, in eutrophic (n = 8), overweight (n = 6) and obese (n = 7) groups. They were assessed for functional capacity (TGlittre and 6MWT), quality of life (QOL) with the questionnaire World Health Organization Quality of Life for Older People (WHOQOL-OLD) and handgrip strength (HGS). TGlittre correlated with age (p = 0.0040) and with 6MWT (p = 0.0086), but no statistical difference was found in TGlittre's performance time and the distance covered in 6MWT between groups. TGlittre did not correlate with HGS (p = 0.1493) and WHOQOL-Old (p = 0.0905). The data obtained in the present study corroborate that TGlittre is used as a functional measurement variable in the elderly population.Keywords: aged, obesity, exercise intolerance.­­­

Purpose of the study. Assessing the association between the life quality of patients with Sjogren’s Disease and ongoing therapy with various disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.Material and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the regional rheumatology center of the consultative diagnostic clinic of the Sverdlovsk Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1. This work is based on the results of a simultaneous study of 74 patients with primary Sjogren’s Disease (SD), distributed in three comparison groups receiving various disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs chlorambucil, methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine. The diagnosis of SD was carried out according to European-American criteria AECGC (2002) [18]. In order to analyze the quality of life of patients with SD, the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF‑36) was used. Statistical data processing was carried out using Statistica 7.0 program.Results. Assessment of the quality of life of patients with SD, which is an integrative criterion of human health and well-being, revealed the absence of statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) on eight scales and two health components of the SF‑36 questionnaire in the analyzed groups that differ in the treatment of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs chlorambucil, methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine.Conclusions. The obtained data indicate an equivalent quality of life in SD patients treated with different disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs methotrexate, chlorambucil and hydroxychloroquine, and therefore hydroxychloroquine can be considered as an alternative basic therapy in patients with SD with certain limitations and contraindications methotrexate and chlorambucil.
