Objetivos: objetivo do estudo presente foi investigar os efeitos do programa Champ4Life na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde dos participantes ao longo de um estudo de 12 meses. E também verificar, qual dos componentes (i.e., física ou mental) do SF- 36 teve maior influência na qualidade de vida dos participantes. Métodos: Foram avaliados 30 ex-atletas inativos com excesso de peso/obesidade de ambos os sexos (42 ± 8.6 anos). Participantes foram recrutados e aleatoriamente distribuídos a um grupo de intervenção (n = 12) e a um grupo de controlo (n = 18). O grupo de intervenção teve acesso à 12 sessões educacionais sobre a AF, controlo de peso e nutrição. Para medir a QVRS foi utilizado o questionário Short Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36). Resultados: Entre os dois primeiros momentos de avaliação (M1 e M2) todas as dimensões do SF- 36 do grupo de intervenção melhoraram. A Componente Mental de ambos os grupos (i.e., intervenção e controlo) melhorou entre M1 e o M2. Nem todos os resultados se mantiveram até ao final do estudo (M3) Conclusão: O programa Champ4life mostrou resultados positivos na QVRS, principalmente na Componente Mental. Os resultados do presente trabalho podem oferecer apoio aos investigadores nos estudos futuros, com o objetivo de ajudar aos atletas mudar para a vida pós-desportiva de forma saudável.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of the Champ4Life program on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) over a 4-month intervention, and also check which of the components (i.e., physical or mental) of the SF-36 had the greatest influence on the participants' quality of life. Methods: Thirty inactive post-career overweight/obese athletes of both genders (42 ± 8.6 years) were evaluated. They were recruited and randomly assigned to an intervention group (n = 12) and a control group (n = 18). The intervention group participated in 12 educational sessions on PA, weight control and nutrition. To measure HRQoL, the Short Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36) questionnaire was used. Results: Between the first two evaluation moments (M1 and M2) all dimensions of the SF-36 in the intervention group improved significantly. The Mental Component of both groups (i.e., intervention and control) significantly improved between M1 and M2. Not all results were maintained until the end of the study (M3) Conclusion: The Champ4life program showed positive results in HRQoL, mainly in the Mental Component. The results of the present work can offer support to researchers in future studies, with the objective of helping athletes to change to a post-sports life in a healthy way.
