O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar os efeitos de um programa de 12 semanas de hidroginástica sobre indicadores de saúde (perfil lipídico e tensão arterial) e de aptidão física (força muscular explosiva e de resistência dos membros inferiores e superiores, capacidade cardiorrespiratória, composição corporal e perímetros) em população adulta e idosa. Para isso, 15 indivíduos voluntários de ambos os sexos entre os 31 e os 78 anos de idade (58.80 ± 14.32 anos de idade) fizeram parte de um grupo experimental (GE), que durante 12 semanas realizaram 2 aulas de hidroginástica por semana. Paralelamente, 6 indivíduos voluntários, também de ambos os sexos entre os 41 e os 75 anos de idade (59.00 ± 12.73 anos de idade), fizeram parte do grupo de controlo (GC) no qual não existiu qualquer prática de exercício físico durante o mesmo período. A aplicação dos testes de avaliação foi realizada na semana antecedente ao início do programa (pré-treino), e na semana seguinte ao término do mesmo (pós-treino). Foram avaliadas variáveis antropométricas (altura, distribuição da massa corporal e perímetros da cintura e anca), de condição física (força de resistência dos membros superiores e inferiores, força explosiva dos membros superiores e inferiores, capacidade cardiorrespiratória), do perfil lipídico (triglicerídeos e colesterol) e da tensão arterial. Após as 12 semanas de aulas realizadas, verificamos a diminuição da massa corporal (ES = 0.53), conseguida através da diminuição da massa gorda (ES = 0.61), diminuição da tensão arterial sistólica (ES = 0.71), aumento da força explosiva nos membros superiores (ES = 0.63) e nos inferiores (ES = 0.51). Podemos assim sugerir que um programa de 12 semanas de aulas de hidroginástica para população adulta e idosa parece ser suficiente para trazer benefícios ao nível da composição corporal, da condição física e da tensão arterial, sendo contudo insuficiente para alterar o perfil lipídico do praticante.
The main purpose of the present study was to verify the effects of a 12-week water-aerobics program on health indicators (lipid profile and blood pressure) and physical fitness (explosive and resistance strength of the lower and upper limbs, cardiorespiratory capacity, body composition and perimeters) in adult and elderly population. 15 volunteers of both sexes between 31 and 78 years old (58.80 ± 14.32 years old) were part of an experimental group. At the same time, 6 volunteers, also of both sexes and between 41 and 75 years old (59.00 ± 12.73 years old), were part of the control group (CG) in which there was no physical exercise practice during the same period. The evaluations were performed before the beginning of the program (pre-training), and in the week after the end of the program (post-training). Anthropometric variables (height, body mass distribution and waist and hip circumferences), physical condition (resistance strength of the upper and lower limbs, explosive strength of the upper and lower limbs, cardiorespiratory capacity), lipid profile (triglycerides and Cholesterol) and blood pressure were measured. After the 12 weeks of water-aerobics, it was observed a decrease in body mass (ES = 0.53), mainly because of fat mass decrease (ES = 0.61), a decrease in systolic blood pressure (ES = 0.71), and an increase in explosive strength in the upper limbs (ES = 0.63) and lower limbs (ES = 0.51). These results suggested that a 12-week water-aerobics program for the adult and elderly population seems enough to benefit the body composition, the physical condition and the blood pressure, but insufficient to alter the lipid profile of the practitioner.
