EFFECTS OF RESISTANCE TRAINING ON THE INCREASE IN THE STRENGTH LEVEL OF IDODOS: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Abstract
Population aging is a worldwide, progressive, multifactorial phenomenon that causes many changes, the presence of chronic diseases attenuates this process, especially with regard to functional capacity related to the loss of muscle mass and strength that directly affect the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL), which can lead to an increased incidence of falls, fractures, hospitalizations and deaths. In this context, the objective of this work is to carry out a bibliographic survey about resistance training in the elderly to increase the level of strength. Therefore, the study selection was used as a methodological strategy in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), ScientificElectronic Library Online (SciELO) and Public/Publicher Medline (PUBMED) databases. The searches were performed using a combination of descriptors: elderly, resistance training and strength level, considering only articles published in the last six years. After the search, a total of 262 scientific documents were found, but after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria only 7 scientific articles that met the objectives of this study, 42.9% of these presented significant results in healthy elderly, 14.3% in elderly with sarcopenia, 14.3% in elderly with sarcopenic obesity 14.3% in elderly with Parkinson's disease. Therefore, the RT can represent a promising tool for the maintenance and/or improvement of the strength of the elderly, thus it is essential to encourage the elderly to regularly practice resistance training, with the aim of healthier aging and less morbidity and falls.
