Summary

The increase in life expectancy worldwide, added to the decrease in birth rates, has resulted in an increase in the aging population. In the case of Chile, 11.4% of its inhabitants are older adults and specifically, in the Til-Til commune, 14.65% of the total population is over 60 years of age, directly affecting the neuromuscular system and mainly cardiorespiratory. Therefore, the older person lives longer, but with a lower quality of life. Physical exercise appears as a non-pharmacological alternative to improve the quality of life, physical and cognitive functions. The "multi-component training" consists of a program that combines strength, resistance, balance and gait training, and is the one that presents the greatest improvements in the functional capacity of the elderly person.

The objective of the present investigation is to relate the effects of a multi-component training schedule by phases on the quality of life, functional capacity and physiological parameters in a group of people over 60 to 80 years of age in the commune of Til-Til.

Conditions

  • ELDERLY PEOPLE

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

multi-component phased training program

The experimental group will develop a program that consists of three progressive phases with the predominance of one physical quality over the others. The first phase will have as its main objective to develop strength, through exercises with overload and in turn, it will be subdivided into 3 blocks of 3 weeks each: Neuromuscular adaptation, muscular power, muscular resistance. The second phase will have as its main objective to develop cardiorespiratory capacity through intermittent gait training and, in turn, will be subdivided into 3 blocks of 3 weeks each: Static gait, dynamic gait and dynamic gait with changes of direction. The last phase will have as its main objective to develop balance and flexibility, by strengthening the stabilizing muscles and range of motion. In turn, this phase will be subdivided into 3 blocks of 3 weeks each: Balance / static flexibility, balance / dynamic flexibility and balance / flexibility with a double task.
