Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Older women living in Teresina and participating in a local church project called "Pão dos Pobres" were randomly divided into three groups: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNFG), Pilates (PG) and Control(CG). Intervention: A training program (50 minutes session) was performed with the PNFG and the PG, 3 times a week, for 4 weeks. The elderly in CG suffered no intervention and continued with their daily activities. Main Outcome Measures: The stabilometric parameters, Berg Balance Scale score, functional reach test and Timed Up and Go test (TUG test) were measured before and one month after, in all participants.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Pilates Group

Pilates group (PG), which underwent one-month (three times per week) training program with the Pilates method. This protocol consisted of Pilates exercises on the ground.Stretches were performed on upper trunk and lower limbs before the exercises. Subsequently, exercises that included the range of motion and strength of the upper limbs, trunk and lower limbs were performed, always associated with breathing and contraction of transversus abdominis muscles, in different positions, increasing repetitions and resistance in the weeks of the study, using the Swiss ball, thera-band and the magic circle.

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants were randomly allocated to 1 of 3 groups: Pilates group (n=20), which underwent one-month (three times per week) training program with the Pilates method; PNF group (n=20), that underwent one-month (three times per week) training program using the PNF method; and Control group (n=18), that received no intervention during that one month and continued with their daily activities.

PNF Group

PNF group that underwent one-month (three times per week) training program using the propriocptive neuromuscular facilitation method.The selected PNF diagonal patterns were chosen with all the basic procedures to the facilitation and according to three specific principles of PNF: rhythmic initiation, sustain and relax and reversal of antagonists. During the first week, one set of ten repetitions for each diagonal was performed; in the second week, two sets of ten repetitions and in the third and fourth weeks, three sets of ten repetitions were performed.
