Abstract(s)
No âmbito do mestrado em Ciências do Desporto, no ramo de Exercício e Saúde, foi
realizado um estágio em contexto de Estrutura Residencial Para Pessoas Idosas (ERPI)
durante o ano letivo de 2024/2025. Com a realização do estágio pretendeu-se adquirir
experiência prática na avaliação e prescrição de exercício individualizado em indivíduos
residentes em ERPI e de Centro de Dia. O relatório encontra-se dividido em duas
partes. A primeira descreve a experiência profissional adquirida ao longo do estágio,
destacando o trabalho desenvolvido de acordo com a evidência científica atual e as
necessidades específicas dos Técnicos de Exercício Físico (TEF). A segunda parte do
relatório apresenta um estudo de iniciação à investigação científica cujo objetivo
consistiu em analisar o impacto de um programa de exercício físico individualizado na
aptidão física, função cognitiva e qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde em idosos
de ERPI e Centro de Dia. O programa de intervenção com uma duração total de 16
semanas (dois ciclos de treino de 8 semanas) foi implementado com base nas diretrizes
do protocolo VIVIFRAIL, com planos de treino ajustados às capacidades e necessidades
individuais dos participantes. Os resultados demonstraram melhorias significativas no
desempenho físico (avaliado pelo teste Short Physical Performance Battery [SPPB]),
função cognitiva (avaliado pelo teste Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA]) e em
vários domínios da perceção de qualidade de vida relacionada com a saúde
(questionário SF-36). Adicionalmente, observaram-se melhorias nas componentes da
aptidão física relacionadas com a saúde (força, resistência cardiorrespiratória,
flexibilidade), na reversão da fragilidade física e no aumento da massa muscular
apendicular estimada. Com a conclusão do estágio foi possível alcançar os objetivos
propostos, tanto a nível prático como científico, consolidando competências práticas e
teóricas fundamentais à prática profissional em exercício físico para a população idosa.
As part of the Master's degree in Sports Science, specifically in the field of Exercise and Health, an internship took place within a Residential Structure for Older People (ERPI) during the academic year 2024/2025. The internship aimed to provide practical experience in evaluating and prescribing individualized exercise for individuals living in ERPI and Day Centers. The first section describes the professional experience gained throughout the internship, highlighting the work developed in accordance with current scientific evidence and the specific needs of Physical Exercise Technicians (TEF). The second part of the report presents an initial study on scientific research, aimed at analyzing the impact of an individualized physical exercise program on physical fitness, cognitive function, and health-related quality of life in older individuals from ERPI and Day Centers. The results demonstrated significant improvements in physical performance (assessed by the Short Physical Performance Battery [SPPB] test), cognitive function (assessed by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA] test), and various domains of perceived health-related quality of life (SF-36 questionnaire). Additionally, improvements were observed in health-related physical fitness components (strength, cardiorespiratory endurance, flexibility), in the reversal of physical frailty, and in the increased estimated appendicular muscle mass. Upon completion of the internship, it was possible to meet the proposed objectives, both practically and scientifically, thereby consolidating the practical and theoretical skills essential to professional practice in physical exercise for the older population.
