This study aimed to examine the effects of grape juice consumption during 4 weeks alone or combined with a therapeutic exercise protocol on quality of life (SF-36), handgrip strength (dynamometry) and physical function performance evaluated through Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go, Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) in elderly women. Nineteen healthy elderly women were distributed in Grape Juice Group (GJG, n=9) and Grape Juice + Exercise Group (GJEG, n=10). A significant improvement in handgrip strength and BBS were observed in GJG. Both groups showed increased values in 6MWT and the quality of life was significantly improved after intervention in GJEG. Daily grape juice consumption is able to improve some physical functional parameters in elderly women; however, when in combination with therapeutic exercise intervention may provide a more effective strategy to positively affect the quality of life.

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.­­­

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze an association between handgrip strength (HGS) and functional performance tests by healthy, non-institutionalized elderly. Method: This is a cross-sectional study. A sample consisted of 36 elderly people (66.69 years), all of whom responded to a cognitive assessment instrument and another to assess the level of physical activity, in addition to sociodemographic data and health conditions. The HGS was measured using the hydraulic dynamometer JAMAR and performed the six-minute walk test (6MWT) and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) to assess the cardiorespiratory capacity submitted during displacement and body mobility. Results: It was possible to verify through the Pearson coefficient the weak and significant association between the MPH and the variables 6MWT (p≤0.05) and TUG (p = 0.027). Conclusion: For samples of healthy elderly and applied experimental conditions, the FPM is related to performance tests. Thus, it is believed that the evaluation of the HGS may be an alternative to interference in this population. Keywords: Aged. Muscle strength. Muscle strength dynamometer.

Cognitive Interventions

Abstract Several types of cognitive interventions have been performed with elderly individuals to verify physical and quality of life benefits. The objective of this study was to verify if the cognitive gains found in two cognitive intervention programs are related to changes in the mood, quality of life and physical fitness variables (maximum oxygen consumption, lean mass, fat percentage and handgrip strength). A total of 39 elderly women from the Distrito Federal (Brazil), participating in a cognitive training group based on mnemonic strategies and a group of cognitive stimulation based on perceptual and attention exercises. Both groups showed a tendency to reduce depressive symptoms, an increase in their fat mass and a decrease in their lean mass. Taken together, these findings may contribute to identify the directionality of mnemonic interventions in Brazilian elderly individuals regarding the subjective and physical performance variables.

The objective of this study was to carry out a comparative analysis between handgrip strength and mobility in the quality of life (QOL) of older adults living in long-term care facilities. Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, comprised of a sample population of 127 older adults. Measurements included the World Health Organization Quality of Life-OLD (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire, assessment of the handgrip strength by hand dynamometer and mobility by Timed Up and Go (TUG). An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to compare the mean values of the WHOQOL-BREF, global and domains, in each stratum of the handgrip strength and mobility values. Our results showed that handgrip dynamometer strength was associated with higher perception of the global WHOQOL-BREF score and two WHOQOL-BREF domains environment (p<0.028) and physical health (p<0.002), that is, the highest QOL values were seen in those older adults with greater handgrip strength. However, no significant association between TUG score and any quality of life domains was found. It can be inferred that handgrip strength seems to influence the quality of life of institutionalized older adults and healthcare providers in LTCs should account for when designing interventions.

Introduction: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is an infectious disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes progressive immunodeficiency virus, rendering the infected individual susceptible to opportunistic infections and diseases. Your clinical treatment is basically medicine and brings with it a number of side effects among which stands out the development of muscle fatigue, lipodystrophy and decreased quality of life. In order to improve the quality of life of people with AIDS, researchers have investigated what kind of benefits to the practice of activity can bring to these individuals. Objective: To evaluate the influence of physical activity on the morphofunctional supervised patterns, immune function and quality of life of elderly patients with AIDS. Method: A descriptive study in which volunteers participated in 4 elderly women with AIDS, who underwent a program of physical activity lasting 16 weeks. Results: The results showed that the proposed program of physical activity was beneficial to functional morphology patterns, immune function and quality of life in older study participants. Conclusion: Sixteen weeks of exercise intervention targeted to elderly patients with AIDS are beneficial, because they promote improvements in the components of morphofunctional standards, with emphasis on flexibility and muscle strength as well as possible changes in markers of immune function and quality domains of life.
