Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of a community program of physical activity, by comparing the functionality between “starters” and “veteran” older women. Participants were divided into two groups: Starters Group (SG, n=15): participants enrolled in the program less than six months; and veteran Group (VG, n=15): participants enrolled more one year ago in the program. VG presented better performance in all functional tests when compared to SG, to know: Agility/balance (p=0.02; + 33% higher than SG), Muscle strength of lower limbs (p=0.01; + 25%), Upper limb muscular strength (p= .03; + 23%) and Cardiorespiratory capacity (p=0.03; + 20%). Regarding anthropometric variables, BMI (p=0.53) and WHR (p=0.74) did not differ between groups. Thus, we can conclude that the community program analyzed is effective in improving the functional capacity of physically active older women over time.
