O presente relatório descreve o trabalho efetuado durante o estágio do mestrado de Exercício e Saúde da Faculdade de Motricidade Humana na Câmara Municipal de Oeiras, no Programa FIT Sénior, enfatizando a caracterização dos participantes com limitações de mobilidade de acordo com a cadência de passos. A aptidão física é um conceito multidimensional que engloba diversas componentes determinantes de um envelhecimento saudável: aptidão muscular, aeróbia, neuro-motora e composição corporal. Para a caracterização dos participantes considerou-se uma amostra composta de 302 indivíduos a partir de 60 anos de idade, frequentadores das modalidades de ginástica de manutenção, hidroginástica, ginástica + hidroginástica e chi kung. A avaliações incluíram os testes da bateria Senior Fitness Test, com recurso ao teste de step 2 min para avaliação da aptidão aeróbia, a força de preensão manual avaliada com um dinamômetro e a escala do equilíbrio de Fullerton (SF-FAB) . Os resultados referentes ao perfil dos participantes apontaram que a maioria são do sexo feminino com idade média de 75 anos. Os resultados evidenciam que os participantes do programa FIT Sénior são sobretudo do sexo feminino, da faixa etária dos 70-80 anos e nas modalidades de ginástica de manutenção e hidroginástica. Os resultados indicam que a maioria dos participantes do programa não apresentam limitações de mobilidade. Observaram-se diferenças nas limitações de mobilidade entre as modalidades e faixas etárias, com maiores limitações de mobilidade na ginástica de manutenção e hidroginástica e nas pessoas mais velhas. As pessoas com limitações de mobilidade apresentaram em geral menor aptidão física do que aquelas sem limitações de mobilidade, particularmente as mulheres.
This report describes the work carried out during the internship of the Exercise and Health master's degree at the Faculty of Human Motricity at the Municipality of Oeiras, in the FIT Senior Program, emphasizing the characterization of participants with mobility limitations according to their step cadence. Physical fitness is a multidimensional concept encompassing several components that determine healthy ageing: muscular, aerobic, neuromotor fitness, and body composition. A sample of 302 individuals over 60 who frequented gymnastics, water aerobics, gymnastics + water aerobics, and chi kung were considered. Assessments included tests from the Senior Fitness Test battery, using the 2-min step test to assess aerobic fitness, handgrip strength assessed with a dynamometer and the Fullerton balance scale (SF-FAB). The results regarding the profile of the participants showed that the majority are female, with an average age of 75 years. The results show that the participants in the FIT Senior program are mainly female, aged between 70 and 80 years, and are in gymnastics and water aerobics modalities. The results indicate that most program participants do not have mobility limitations. Differences in mobility limitations were observed between modalities and age groups, with greater mobility limitations in gymnastics and water aerobics in older people. People with mobility limitations generally had lower physical fitness than those without, particularly women.
